Travels on Holidaysin China

Nowadays， more and more people like to travel in their holidays. The other day I read a report about the ways people spend their holidays. It is reported that in recent yiars several new holiday habits have been developed. Among them， the most interesting one is the growth of the so-called holiday camps.

From the report we can see that in 20XX，40 percent of people stayed at home for holidays. But now the proportion has reduced to 9 percent. More people go out for fun. The proportion of camping and traveling abroad was increasing steadily， from 10 percent in 20XX to 38 percent in 20XX， and 12 percent in 20XX to 26 percent in 20XX respectively. People enjoy the fresh air， clean Water and green hills when they go camping in the suburbs. In 20XX，38 percent people enjoyed going to the seaside while in 20XX only 27 percent prefer to go there. What great changes!

Why did those changes appear? I think there are several reasons. First， it s because people can afford traveling. Second， people prefer to pursue a high-quality and colorful life. Third， their attitudes to relaxation have changed. Less people want to save much money by leading a simple life. In short， peoples living standard today has been rising greatly.

5月2日，我们一家人和约好的叔叔、阿姨，还有我的小伙伴，一起去了耕海人家。

到了那里，我就和我的好朋友张思凡聊了起来，过了一会儿，他的爸爸说：“你们带上杯子去捉螃蟹吧!”我们都异口同声的答道：“好啊!”于是我们去拿了两个杯子，就下海去捉螃蟹了，我们边找螃蟹她边对我说：“要把石头搬起来，才能找到螃蟹。”于是我翻开了一块比较大的石头，一看，一对紫色钳子，碧绿色的壳儿，一双大大的眼睛，举着它的钳子，挥舞着，好像想夹我们一样，于是我一下伸手捉住了它，它却一下子夹住了我的手，我的手顿时流了很多血，这时我的好朋友张思凡赶紧把它的一条腿抓住，放进了杯子里，然后她就把我带回了饭店用创可贴贴一下，可是，令人意想不到的是，在回饭店的时候，我的伙伴的脚不小心踩在了淤泥里，陷了下去拔都拔不起来，我说：“你的脚慢慢的用力往上抬。”过了一会她的脚终于挣脱了出来，可是鞋还在里面，“我来帮你!”我说，于是，我就费了九牛二虎之力才把她的鞋子拔了出来，然后我们两个互相搀扶着回了饭店，我们休息了一会又跑下去了，我又搬开一块石头，看见了一只螃蟹不大不小，但是跑得很快，我赶紧抓住了它的一条腿，放进了杯子里，于是我跟她又抓了很多螃蟹、弹涂鱼、还有一种很奇怪的蟹。

那里可真好玩儿啊!我觉得有点遗憾，因为我只在那里住了一天，还没玩够，就回家了，所以下次，我还要到那里去玩。

Today was Sunday, I was so happy because our family had a big meeting, we went to the park to have the barbecue. We called our relatives to join us, it was such a great party. As the family members haven’t got together for a long time, so my father decided to get everybody united. In the park, I played with my cousins, we were taking a visit of the park while the parents were doing the barbecue.

When my counsins and I played so tiredly, we went to join the grow-ups’ activities.

The fathers were talking about the business stuff, while the mothers were talking about the children and their daily life. Our family was so harmonious, we shared the things together and helped each other. I like this activity so much, I wish my families can have more time to be together.

今天是星期天，我很开心，因为我们的家庭有一个大聚会，我们去公园烧烤。我们叫上了亲戚来加入，这是多么盛大的派对啊。由于家庭成员间很久没有在一起了，因此父亲决定把大家团聚在一起。在公园里，我和表亲们在玩，我们在参观公园，而家长们则在烧烤。在表亲们和我玩累了，我们就加入大人们的活动。父亲们在谈论生意上的事情，然而母亲们在谈论孩子和日常生活。我们的家庭是那么的和谐，一起分享东西和彼此帮助。我很喜欢这样的活动，我希望我的家人们能有的时间相聚。

微笑的力量很多。首先，微笑可以作为平易近人的一种表现。想象一下，你去一个公司参加面试。带着自信的微笑，你有可能会更好地回答问题。此外，微笑可以消除愤怒。一个哲学家说过，在你开始生气之前微笑。最后但并非最不重要的，当一个人处于危险或者麻烦的时候，微笑反映了一个人的镇定。

so. Art is everywhere. For example, the delicious food that is made by our

joy when they have a taste of it. The scenery around us is the visible art, when

When I returned from guilin, I made a plan to make me a full, happy summer vacation.

First, in terms of learning. Because there is so little time for reading, I will read a few extra books during the summer vacation, and make sure to read an hour a day and do "a book". Write an old poem every day, write a journal, and practice calligraphy for 20 minutes. In order to improve my English, I still have to read English for 15 minutes. On top of that, the end of the vacation is easier for me, and Im going to prepare for the fifth grade class.

Second, in other respects. I want to travel more, hoping to broaden my horizon in the second class, and learn something I cant learn in school. I also have to study swimming and visit friends and relatives. In addition to these, I will also insist on my special study, such as erhu will practice for an hour every day, the Latin dance prepares the test grade, the homework that the teacher assigns the teacher to do.

To do well, of course, the health is the most important, so in order to complete my plan, I want to insist to take exercise every day, or cycling, or swimming, or walking.

Now that you have a plan, youre going to do it as planned, and if it doesnt work out, its going to be white. So I must be careful to finish my plan and not go through the motions.

从桂林游玩回来后，为了让我过一个即充实，又快乐的暑假，我制定了一个计划。

首先在学习方面。因为平时读书时间太少，所以暑假里我要多读几本课外书，保证每天读书1小时，并及时做好“与书有约”。还要每天背一首古诗，写一篇日记，练20分钟书法。为了让我的英语水平有所提高，我还要读15分钟的英语。在做好这些基础上，假期末为了我的学习更轻松，我还准备预习一下五年级的主课。

其次在其他方面。我要多出去旅游，希望能在第二课堂里开阔眼界，学到一些在学校里面学不到的知识。我还要去学习游泳、拜访亲朋好友。除了这些，我还要坚持我的特长学习，如二胡要每天练够1小时，拉丁舞准备考级、画画做好老师布置的作业等。

当然，要做好这些健康是最重要的，所以为了完成我的计划，我要每天坚持锻炼，或骑自行车、或游泳、或散步。

既然制定了计划，就要按计划完成，如果不按计划完成，就等于白制定。所以我一定要认真完成自己制定的计划，不敷衍了事。

Its Sunday today. I got up early and did my homework on the table. All of a

sudden I remembered the mothers day, a picture of my mind, remembering a past

thing that moved me.

Thats the case. After coming home from school that afternoon, my mother came

back. I found that my mother was very tired, his eyes were squinting, and I

yawned. So she sent me to do my homework at home. But I felt very sad to see my

mother working so hard, so I decided to share the housework for my mother. I

began to pick up the stuff in my home, first fold the newspaper, and then the

glass was cleaned.

I put the glass on the pot filled with water, and then picked up the cloth, a

brush up. I found a little dirty in a cup, and I took some detergent to wash it.

Suddenly, the cup from the hand slipped, piercing sound startled me. I hastened

to pick up the pieces of glass on the floor. At this time, I found that my

mother was standing in front of me, and she said, "dont pick up the pieces with

your hands. Let me come." I stood up and bowed my head embarrassed and said,

"Im sorry, mom, Im too careless." I thought: this must be closed. Mother

walked over and touched my head and said, "kid, dont frighten you?" Let mommy

pack up, you go out and watch TV. " Mothers words are very gentle, but make me

more difficult, unwittingly I cry.

Looking back on this, I felt very warm. It told me that maternal love is

selfless and great, and I want to repay my mother on Mothers day.

导语：随着人们生活水平的提高，私家车数量不断增加。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Private cars have become an important aspect of people‘s life in many parts of our country, especially in large cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. While they bring much convenience to people, they are also widely criticized. There are some arguments for owning private cars. In the first place, cars allow people to move around freely, which greatly improves our living standard. We can easily drive cars for sightseeing on weekends. In the second place, cars are a comfortable way to travel, especially in bad weather. Last but not least, the car industry can boost economy by creating many job opportunities in production of steel, rubber, glass and so on. However, there are also many good arguments against cars. First of all, they pollute the environment by emitting harmful gases and giving out loud noises. In addition, cars cause a large number of traffic accidents, which bring great misery to the victims‘ families. As far as I am concerned, we should limit the number of private cars by providing better mass transportation and better service for the people. Everyone should sacrifice his or her own interest for the common good of the society.

【参考译文】

私家车已成为我国许多地区人民生活的一个重要方面，特别是在北京、上海和中国等大城市。虽然他们给人们带来很多方便，但他们也被广泛批评。有一些理由拥有私家车。首先，汽车可以让人们自由走动，这大大提高了我们的生活水平。周末我们可以很容易地开车观光。其次，汽车是一种舒适的旅行方式，尤其是在恶劣的天气里。最后但并非最不重要的是，汽车工业可以通过创造钢铁、橡胶、玻璃等的就业机会来提振经济。然而，也有许多好论据反对汽车。首先，他们通过排放有害气体和发出大声的噪音来污染环境。此外，汽车造成了大量的交通事故，给遇难者家属带来了极大的痛苦。就我而言，我们应该通过提供更好的大众运输和更好的服务来限制私家车的数量。为了社会的共同利益，每个人都应该牺牲自己的利益。

因为爸爸带我和小弟弟回到了我的老家------安徽桐城，那里有我敬爱的爷爷、奶奶，还有很多我最好的小朋友们，我非常想念她们。

5月1日早晨我起的很早，打扮得漂漂亮亮的，准备好给好朋友的礼物-----我画的五彩画，就到车站乘车了。车子在道路上飞驰，我的心早就飞到了老家和小朋友们在一起玩了。

车子开了3个多小时，就到了，下车往家走的路两边都是黄灿灿的油菜花，可漂亮了，在南京可看不到，我缠着爸爸给我拍照。爷爷、奶奶都在家门口迎接我们呢，我扑到奶奶的怀里亲了奶奶一下，奶奶乐坏了，一手搂着弟弟一手搂着我，在我的小脸上亲个不停。我的小伙伴姚瑶、婷婷她们也来了，赶紧拿出我的礼物给她们。

在老家我和伙伴们玩跳皮筋，还和她们一起爬山，我还教她们跳舞，玩得可高兴了，一直到很晚才回家，第二天上午我和奶奶一起到茶园采茶，奶奶采茶我和小弟弟就在茶地里玩挖蚯蚓玩，弄得我们像个灰老鼠似的。下午我和奶奶到田埂边采蒿子(一种野菜)回家做蒿子粑吃，可香了，我都两年没有吃过了，奶奶傍晚做好了，我一下就吃了3个，把小肚子撑得圆鼓鼓的才罢休。

时间过得真快，我们又要回南京了，又要和我的好伙伴们分开了，走的时候她们都来送我，我的眼泪都快流出来了，上车了，爷爷、奶奶一直送我们上车，在车上我和爸爸说：“爸爸：以后放假我还要回老家”。

日记是用来叙述一天中发生的有意义事件的文体。

第一，注意日记的格式：一般是左上角写当天的日期，右上角写当天的天气情况(cloudy/clear/windy/rainy/fine/snowy…)。日期通常采用两种写法：一种是按“月、日、年”顺序；另一种是按“日、月、年”的顺序。注意要在年份之前有一个逗号，而且月份通常可用缩写词（如：Jan.,Feb.,Mar.等）。如果需要写星期，可将其写在日期的前面或后面。如：Monday,May15th,2008或May15th,2008,Monday

第二，抓准日记的时态：日记记叙的时间通常是在当天的下午或晚上，因此所用的时态多为过去时态。但应灵活掌握，如果日记叙述天气、描写景色或为了描写生动，也可用现在时。

第三，日记一般按事情发生的先后顺序记述，所以常需借助一些表示先后顺序的词语，如atfirst,then,lateron,afterwards,finally,atlast等。一定要注意句与句、段与段之间的连接和过渡，适当使用一些过渡词语使其连接紧凑、过渡自然。

第四，确立日记的中心要点，尽量突出主题，可以通过对某个细节、某个侧面的描写来突出主题，千万不要写成一个流水帐。

In high school, Chinese students study very hard to fight for the future

college, while in western countries, students are spending time in taking all

kinds of activities. Though students from different countries have different

ways to spend high school time, they make the decision and take charge of their

life. This is the best age to learn knowledge, their brain can remember words

and numbers quickly. For making friends, they will probably meet their lifetime

friends. During three years, besides gaining knowledge and making friends, they

feature. They can make a lot of decisions without asking parents for help. When

they are equipped themselves with basic skill, then they can better get used to

the new environment, which is important for future life.

27th, September of every year is World Tourism Day.

Of course, it is to advocate people to travel often.

Nowadays, as people’s living standard improve, the number and frequency of people to travel is also increasing. Why? I think it may because of the advantage of travel. First of all, travel can make people relaxed. In today’s competitive society, everyone is under great stress.

They may be crazy if they are in that situation in the long term. Going travel, leaving all the troubles behind for a period of time, people will have a good rest and then fight again. Secondly, travel can broaden people’s vision.

People can learn more through what they see and hear.

This knowledge is good for them. Last but not least, travel can enlarge people’s social circle, because they can make new friends on the way of their trip. In conclusion, travel has so many advantages. It is no wonder that there is a World Tourism Day to encourage everyone to go travel.

每年的月二十七是世界旅游日。当然，这是为了提倡人们多旅游而设的。

如今，随着人们生活水平的提高，去旅游的人数和频率都随之增加了。为什么会这样呢？我觉得可能是因为旅游所拥有的优势。首先，旅游可以使人放松。

在当今竞争激烈的社会，每个人都承受着巨大的压力。长期处于这种状态下，他们可能会疯了。

去旅行，把所有的烦恼暂抛脑后，人们将会得到良好的休息，然后再奋斗。

其次，旅游能开阔人们的视野。人们可以通过他们的所见所闻而学习。这些知识对他们是有用的。最后但并非最不重要的，旅行可以扩大人们的社交圈，因为他们可以在旅途中结识新朋友。总之，旅行有很多优点。难怪会有世界旅游日来鼓励大家去旅行。

今天是五一劳动节，大家一家人都放假了。我家和姑姑家就约好两家人下午去海边玩。

可是，我那淘气的小表弟吃完中午饭就睡着了，大家一直等到下午四点多了还没睡醒。爸爸说：“算了吧！今天大家不去海边了，时间太晚了，下次爸爸一定带你去。”我一听就有点生气了，要知道，我老早就想去海边了，只是爸爸妈妈要上班没时间带我去，今天好不容易有个机会了却被小表弟给搅黄了。真遗憾！可是也没有办法，我家离海边是有点远。于是我就对爸爸说：“不去就不去，那你带我和妈妈去附近那边去爬山，行吗？那里又不远。”爸爸很好就答应了。

爸爸用摩托车载着我和妈妈，用了十几分钟的时间就来到了山角下。啊！山上的风景真优美，有很多的高大的树木，还有许多我不知道名字的野花呢！鸟儿在林中跳来跳去，叽叽喳喳地唱着歌，又好像在迎接大家说：“欢迎你们！欢迎你们！”上山的时候我并不觉得累，可是下山就麻烦了，那陡峭的石路，会让你来很多个四脚朝天。有的地方，我干脆就坐在地上往下溜，就像溜冰似的。等到大家从山上下来，个个累的满头大汗了。这看起来不算太高的山，爬起来可真不像我想的那么简单。这时候我早就不生小表弟的气了。

大家下山后，爸爸带大家去吃涮羊肉。等大家吃完饭后，天已经黑了。妈妈顺便去超市买了一点东西大家就回家了。今天，没去成海边，虽然有点遗憾，但是爬山一样让我很开心，很快乐!

If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. if we want light, we must conquer darkness. perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “there are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.”

if i were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; i would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. i would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. i often hear grown up people say “ i could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.

if I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. it takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. it only needs early cultivation to become a power.
