美国游记英语作文（合集20篇）

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The writer O’Henry called it the one day that is purely American. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. But it has ritual meaning. Some Americans attend religious services on the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. Others travel long distances to be with their families. They have a large dinner which is the main part of the celebration. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of the family gather. The holiday is a time of family reunion. Thanksgiving week is generally one of the busiest travel times of the year. However, experts say this year probably will be different. On September 11th, thousands of people died when terrorists hijacked airplanes that struck buildings in Washington D.C. and New York City. Many people now say they are worried about flying on a plane. Travel experts say almost 6 percent fewer people will make long trips this Thanksgiving compared with last year. Many Americans who usually visit family and friends by plane are driving shorter distances instead this week. Some mental health experts say the attacks have frightened people. They say people feel safer and happier close to home. More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is a celebration of family and home. Many people say that this year they are especially thankful for their families and friends and the good things in their lives. On Thanksgiving, people enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal almost always includes the turkey with a bread mixture cooked inside. Other traditional Thanksgiving food served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Stores are said to sell more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year, and many people eat more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year. Over the years, Americans have added new traditions to their Thanksgiving celebration. For example, a number off professional and university football games are played on Thanksgiving Day. Some of the games are broadcast on national television.

五月份我们一行十人一起开车来到了美国著名的国家公园—黄石公园，在公园里，我们沿着宽阔的公路行驶，突然看见了一群北美牦牛在悠闲地散步、有的小牦牛跟着妈妈在吃草，有头大牦牛大摇大摆得走到了公路上，大家都停下来等他过去，我们也开始跟他们合影留念。

我们沿着公路继续游玩，看见最多的是温泉。我们看见了最著名的老忠实泉，它很忠实，它每隔一个小时会准时喷发一次，能喷40—50米高。我们到的时候是11点20分，它刚刚喷发完，我们等了一个小时，果然看见了它精彩的表演：先是浓烟、慢慢地有了小水柱，过了不一会儿，小水柱变成了大水柱，它非常高，感觉有六层楼那么高，非常壮观。空气里弥漫着一股臭鸡蛋的味道，大人们说是因为泉水含酸才是这样。

在黄石里面还有很多很多的泉，泥泉、蓝色的温泉，数不胜数、美不胜收。

黄石公园里还有一个很大很大的湖，就叫黄石公园湖。我们到的时候，就住在湖边的旅馆，从大堂看出去，湖水很蓝很蓝。我们到了湖边，发现湖里有的地方下面也是温泉，咕嘟咕嘟地冒着热气，但在不远处，我看见了湖面结着很厚的冰，这个地方真的是很奇怪。

晚上，我们在附近听到了熊叫和狼叫，我很害怕，不敢出去看。

第三天，我们沿着公路走出美丽的黄石公园，远远的看着大提顿雪山，我们踏上了回去的路。

To Live in an American Family

提纲

1. 留美学生与当地家庭生活在一起既有优点也有不足。

2. 不足之处。

3. 与当地家庭生活在一起的优点远超过其不足。

for the student who wants to improve his english quickly and learn about american customs firsthand, there is often an opportunity to live with an american family. there may be some disadvantages in this arrangement; however, i believe there are far more advantages.

first of all, the disadvantages may include lack of privacy and little opportunity to be independent. they will lose the chance of living on their own. another drawback to living in an american home involves the possibility that the family may treat the student like a child. for eample, the parents may want to decide who his friends should be and where he should go during his leisure time.

even though there may be some disadvantages in living with an american family, the advantage far overweighs them. by taking part in a home-stay program, the student has an ecellent opportunity to learn about american customs. also, he will learn about many other aspects about american way of life, such as the way schools are run in the u nited states. and the family will no doubt make cerlain that he becomes acquainted with this new way of life, and soon he will feel at home.

今天一大早，我们就驱车赶往了世界七大奇景之一的美国大峡谷国家公园。

一路上，我看到了著名的沙漠植物骆驼刺和蜡树，。

骆驼刺的根长可以达到它整个植物的十到十五倍，这样它就可以方便地吸收到地下水，从而存活下来;蜡树树枝的末端有一层白色的蜡，所以人们叫它蜡树，听导游说，只有在拉斯维加斯的这种沙漠环境中才能看到它。

到了那儿后，我们坐着大峡谷的专用观光车，参观了老鹰岩。老鹰岩是经过亿万年的风雨磨练而形成的巨大的、像老鹰的岩石，它的中间部分凹了下去，而凹槽中又有一个棱状的岩石突起，仿佛就像一只老鹰正张开它那硕大无比的翅膀，正向我们飞来。我们在老鹰岩下了车，随后走上了一座巨大的玻璃桥。它以马蹄形横越大峡谷上方，我和妈妈走上去以后，妈妈一直在喊：“姚泽程，你赶快往旁边靠，我不敢往下面看!”一开始，我也有点害怕，因为玻璃桥是透明的，从中间往下看，仿佛就像是一个无底洞，随时要把我们吸进去，而且桥体还在微微颤抖着，所以我不敢往下看。

直到后来，一位和我们同行的大姐姐告诉我说：“不要害怕，这座玻璃桥很坚固的，你试着往玻璃上面走走看，很快就会恢复自信的。”我听了她的话后，试探地往前走了一步，我惊讶地发现，自己竟然没有摔下去，于是我迈出了第二步、第三步……之后我们还在玻璃桥上拍照留念呢!

下了玻璃桥后，我觉得这真是一次有趣的冒险。太high了!

接下来，我们又来到了大峡谷里的印地安保护区。我看到了许多印地安人穿着现代服装，在一个由巨石和木头搭起来的棚子里表演，我还看到一个印地安小朋友和老爷爷说了几句我听不懂的语言后，那个小朋友就高高兴兴地拿着棒棒糖跑开了。

路上我们又看到了貌似一只大蝙蝠的蝙蝠岩，它也是经过亿万年的风雨磨练而形成的。夕阳西下，我们带着依依不舍的心情离开了这美丽又宏伟的大峡谷。

再见!大峡谷!

美国纽约的胜利女神象征着胜利,但是又有谁知道她在变成塑像前过着怎样的生活.是美好的?不是是邪恶的``````胜利女神是地狱魔王的小女儿,理说当然也继承了父亲的邪恶.魔王很疼爱她,总是和蔼的叫她“丽茜”。丽茜在父亲的呵护下过着无法无天的生活，每日的功课就是到人间选择“该死”

的人，而她选的人往往是一些过着快乐生活的人。每当看见目标的死去，她不仅不感到惋惜，而是计划着下个即将死去的人``````日子一天一天的过去了，丽茜的笔记本里密密麻麻的写满了一个个名字。今天她又要去找该死的人了，这是特殊的一天，她希望能换一个目标。因为以往死去的人都是一写年过半百的老人。她想，如果死去的是一个小孩子，那该是多么的有意思啊!

于是她开始寻找自己中意的目标。

当她路过一家正在办生日会房子时，她顿了顿，因为她讨厌这样的气氛。于是便锁定了目标，决定让在过生日的小天使在明天死去，不久就若无其实的回到了地狱。到了那天，她去又去看自己的“杰作”。只见那小女孩奄奄一息躺在的床上。她的妈妈坐在床边抽泣着，因为医生们无法查出小女孩的病因，这突发病给小女孩带来了很大的影响。小女孩艰难的叫着“妈妈，妈妈”。丽茜听到了“妈妈”这个词，心里突然一颤。“妈妈，多么陌生的一个词啊!”丽茜不禁想到。

她马上跑回地狱，问父亲：自己的妈妈在哪里?父亲很是惊讶!他惊讶自己的女儿会问这件事情。虽然他不愿意说明，但在女儿的坚持下他还是说了。原来魔王以前也和丽茜一样做着一样的“功课”直到他遇见了丽茜的妈妈。但魔王的父亲不赞成他们在一起，并下了隔杀令。从此，丽茜失去了妈妈。

丽茜听完后一个劲的往外冲，她后悔了，她要救那个小女孩。但是，丽茜以往下的都是隔杀令，从来没有好心救过人。于是为了救那小女孩。丽茜必须付出很大的代价甚至死亡`````在天与地之往往是护不过问的除非恶魔们自愿去手死。看着小女孩那苍白的脸，丽茜又下定了决心，一定要救她。于是她独自一人上了天界。以魔界公主的名誉见了天使国王。国王一点也不给丽茜面子，说定了如果要救小女孩就必须用她的命来换取要不然就滚回去。丽茜答应了，毫不考虑的答应了``````她再次去了小女孩的家，站在窗口默默的说到：“放心吧，我会救你的，我真的会救你的!”说完就回去向父亲告别，她没有告诉父亲自己的决定，只是说时间要去办一件事情。告别完就匆匆的走了。天使王给了丽茜一罐药，只要她一服下就回变成一尊塑像，再也没有恢复的一日。里午夜12点还有5分中，在那之前他必须和下药才能救小女孩。这时，魔王来了，他从魔镜中知道了一切。

他向丽茜大喊：“我的宝贝女儿，你在干什么，你要为了一个普通的人类牺牲自己吗?不要这样做，你会后悔的!”时间在倒计，丽茜别无选择了，她打开死亡的册子，一手举起胜利的火焰。喝下了毒药``````魔王痛不遇生最后命令整个魔界沉入地下深处，从此不问世事。从那以后，世上只有天使在主宰。而丽茜却依然屹立美国纽约的港口，和魔王父亲一起为人们祝福着。

After a brief reunion with our American aunt, we soon embarked on a trip to the east of the United States. Our first stop was New York.

On July 21, we got up at 6:30 am and after more than half an hours drive, we came to Wall Street. There was a bull in the street, and I took many photos with my parents. After that, we went to the Empire State Building and passed through security. Then, lets go through the winding corridor to the elevator, and soon, a delicate elevator will we carry on the 80 layer, through the 80th floor of pictures and words, I understand the process of the Empire State Building construction in the 1830 s, the U.S. government in 400 days time built the 102th floor of the Empire State Building, is a miracle. Were on the 86th floor, and the 86th floor is a sightseeing layer that can get a full view of New York City. Then we went to the met and saw the Egyptian temple, the dunhuang murals, the longyan grottoes and so on

Then we followed the guide to the intrepid America and saw the American space agency NASAs space shuttle.

Finally, we went to times square, but I didnt buy anything I liked.

The USA is the third most popular destination in the world, with over 45 million people travelling to the country every year. They’ve got good reason, too – few other places offer such a wide variety of activities, geographical diversity and rich, if brief, history.

America’s major cities buzz with energy and excitement, from cosmopolitan New York City, historic Boston, glamorous Los Angeles and gritty Chicago to extrovert Las Vegas and sultry New Orleans.

Venture out of the urban centres and you’ll find backwater gems full of small-town charm, tucked between miles and miles of open highway and spectacular scenery.

The landscape changes with dizzying speed, from the vast deserts of Nevada to soaring s-topped mountains, lush forests and white-sand beaches.

America is one of the easiest places to travel, whatever your plans. With fantastic transport services and a multitude of resources for tourists, visitors are never far away from high quality and reasonably priced accommodation, or somewhere decent to grab a bite.

[美国概况为题的英语作文

寒假终于到了，我们因为有演出任务，可以顺便去美国旅游一趟，坐了一天的飞机，终于到达了美国！我们先到达了风景宜人的夏威夷，还去了所有孩子梦想的乐园"迪士尼"，并且参观了耶鲁大学等，这趟出游不仅开阔了我眼界，还让我感受到了很多不一样的民族文化和放假的轻松愉快！

参观的第一个地方是夏威夷，小时候总听大人们说夏威夷漂亮，今日一见果不其然！那里风和日丽，景色宜人。然后到了珍珠港，并在那合了影，还看了历史记录片。第二天我们去了威基基海滩。这次比第一天更有趣。在沙滩上我们听老师讲完注意事项，迫不及待的集结了5个人一起玩儿"对抗海水"。有的用手，有的用脚，有人挖沙子，有人加固沙堡，可谓是调配得当啊！可是看上去坚固的沙堡在海水面前却显得很脆弱：海水一冲上来沙堡的底部就少了很多沙子，这时我们就要用大量的干沙子来填充弥补！这样海水刚冲上来几次我们就忙的手脚并用了，该补的补，该修的修，但最还是没有海水的速度快，很快海水胜利了。我们的城堡在海水中慢慢消失了，但是这份美好的记忆却留在了我们的心里。我们要走了，要离开威基基海滩，要离开夏威夷了，心中很是不舍，带着心中的不舍我们走了！

第三天我们从夏威夷走了，坐飞机还去了洛杉矶，波士顿，纽约，纽黑文，和华盛顿。但是最令我留恋和喜欢的地方就得数洛杉矶的迪士尼乐园啦！盼望着，盼望着，洛杉矶来了，迪士尼的脚步近了！经过了漫长的颠簸终于到了迪士尼了，全车人都沸腾了，唯独老师还那么淡定，还不忘叮嘱我们："别一会儿玩的忘了时间，守时最重要啊！"，老师刚发完票，我和我的好朋友就一起冲进了迪士尼。当我们看好多人都往一个方向走时就使了一个小聪明：反方向走！果然不出我们所料，我们到地方没有那么多人排队，还没有一个小时，我们就玩儿了好几个项目，比其他人快很多，我们同行四个人连连称赞这条路选的好。就这样我们来到了矿山车这里，"矿山车，玩儿这个吧！"我提议说。四人一致通过，我们向矿山车进发！到了那儿，我们谁都没说话，只是互相对视了一眼，立刻默契的像箭一样冲了过去。说着，笑着，走着，我们兴奋地坐上了车，大家都很期待，每个人都想体验一下矿山车，我们坐下后都很轻松的说笑着，突然车子以迅雷不及掩耳之势冲了出去，我"啊"的大叫出来，这时只看到两边的物体和人飞一般的闪过去，耳旁的风也呼呼的，所有的物体都几乎看不清了！车子不断地急转弯，我们的身体也跟着车子一起倾斜，感觉好像要飞出去了。"哇，好快啊！"同学们都被惊住了，"抓好啦，一个大斜坡儿！"我们所有人都忍不住尖叫起来，车子带着我们在空中不断的飞翔，有一种要飞向天空的感觉，我的围巾随着风左摆右摆，要飞出去了我下意识的伸手把它抓住了，我吓出了一身冷汗。一只手抓着扶手，一只手高举拿着围巾，它在空中飘舞着！车上的叫喊声一次高过一次，虽然开始很害怕但是我们慢慢适应后感觉很爽，就在我们沉浸其中的时候，矿山车停止了，车子平稳了。我们有些意犹未尽。从车上下来我们四人异口同声的感叹着："爽"！接着我们又去玩了其它的项目，美好的时光总是过得很快，转眼间，黄昏来了，我们要走了"迪士尼"，再见吧！

美国之行结束了，但是那里的人们那里欢笑，还有一路上的同学情谊，都让我难以忘怀，通过这次美国旅游我感受到了不同国家的文化差异，切身感受了夏威夷美丽的威基基海滩......坐飞机回到了中国，心里默念着：再见吧！美国！再见吧，寒假！

今天，是寒假第一天，我和妈妈要去美国旅游了，好期待啊!

先去香港国际机场，一个叔叔把我们送到了那里，没怎么堵车都要了2个小时呢。

到了飞机场，我和妈妈在洗手间外面，我忽然看见了一个人跪着，手放在胸前的牌子。我很好奇，就拉着妈妈的手去看。哦!是祈祷室!原来有些国家的人每天都要祈祷，他们就可以来这个房间。

我们先值了机，然后吃饭。在麦当劳吃的，吃了汉堡和可乐，好好吃呀!

去纽约的飞机3点55分开始检票，可是现在才1点多呀，干什么呢?我玩IPAD2，妈妈在网上工作。

不知不觉，2个小时一下子就过去了，飞机开始检票了!真是快!

飞机很快就起飞了，我和妈妈躺着睡觉，但睡不着。

我不时打开窗户看。有一次，我看见窗户上有许多针叶一样的小东西，仔细一看：呀!原来是结了冰花呀!好漂亮!外面真是very very的冷!

早上7点多，也就是美国的晚上6点多，飞机快到了。

最后我再看时，竟然已经飞到了纽约后面的海上，难道飞过了?果然，飞机开始掉头，真有趣!后来我才知道是交通管制。

7点多，飞机到达了目的地——纽约。

下了飞机，我们就开始找一个已经在网上预定好了的酒店。

先是在门口问了两个人，他们告诉我们：先乘机场快线到一个站，然后再转7号线到Quneens bora plaza站就到了。果真，我们到了酒店。好不容易有时间看表了，一看：呀!10点半了!赶快睡觉吧!

今天就这样结束了，看我们能不能把时差倒过来!

TINY ghost—like dolls hang from trees， big plastic spiders sit on rooftops and bloody plastic hands reach out from gravestones…Are you ready for the scariest night of the year？

October 31 is Halloween， one of the most popular festivals in the US， Canada and Britain。 The festival began as a day to remember the dead。 But nowadays its all about the carnival atmosphere when people can enjoy dressing up and scaring each other。

Halloween is one of childrens favourite nights of the year。 They dress up as monsters and go to their neighbourshouses。 Knocking on the door they shout： "Trick or treat！" Of course， usually people give them "treats" － a like sweets and chocolates。 But， if you dont， you can expect a prank such as having your car windows soaped or your garbage cans turned over。

Halloween is also a time for masquerade parties。 Witches fly in on broomsticks， while ghosts and skeletons chat on the dance floor。

You can even dress up as a famous monster like Dracula！ The motto is： "The scarier， the better。" 。”

Even making Halloween food should be like casting a spell or mixing a magic drink。 In Britain， people drink "Witchs Mix"， made with apple， orange， grape and berry juice。 Children also enjoy "Halloween Worms，" made from egg noodles。 And how do you like the sound of "Eye—Balls"？ Dont worry， theyre made with scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream， shaped like human eyes。 Skeleton—shaped cookies are equally popular。

A well—known Halloween tradition is to make lanterns from pumpkins， called "Jack—o—lanterns"。 First， the inside of the pumpkin is removed。 Then， a face is cut into the pumpkin， traditionally a smiling， devil face。 Finally a candle is placed inside， and the lantern is put at the front of the house to keep evil spirits away。

Besides pumpkin cutting， "apple—bobbing" is another popular game。 Several apples are put floating in water in a big bucket。 Children have their hands tied behind their backs。 They have to try to pick the apples out of the water using only their mouths。 Of course， people get very wet and it is very funny to watch。

[美国万圣节英语作文

Last year, my parents and I arrived in the United States on the other side of the ocean, living in Chicago, the third largest city in the United States. The city life there is very different from the city life in China.

Special one: building

Most people in China live in public housing or apartments, and there are not so many people in the United States. People usually live in semi-detached houses. The left half of the family, the right half the other family, or up and down two families, the economy many people live in the independent house. The two houses are not large, usually made of beautiful bricks, and the first floor has steps to connect the ground and houses, and the houses are numbered with metal. There was a small garden around the house, with lush trees and green grass, and some tables and chairs. There is a fence outside the garden, a password lock on the fence, someone with a key to the password can go in, so its safe to live in it.

Special 2: traffic

Car penetration in China is lower than in the u.s., where most Chinese residents take public transportation, and almost every home in the United States has a car. Why? Thats because the United States was designed as a big car in the first place. The roads are designed to be spacious and the garage is so much designed that there are few traffic jams or parking Spaces in the United States. Back in China, there are no seats left for the training courses, and the half way is still stuck on the high shelf, so it must get up early to be not late.

Winter in the United States, people dont have to wear thick wool pants and a sweater, because indoor central heating in the winter, go out is given priority to with the car, go out just get in the car, the car also has air conditioning, so dont feel cold. Its kind of like our northeast China.

Special 3: diet

You must be very fond of pizza and cookies. These are the snacks that everyone enjoys during the break. But why eat well and sometimes not to eat? Thats because americans eat high-calorie foods, such as a pizza, so they eat them for dinner. Americans pay more attention to the nutrition of food, like to eat high-protein things, and also like to eat very sweet snack, so you cant burn Chinese food in the United States can only eat these things all day long!

You see how different Chinas urban life is from the American city life!

Author: fourth grade Chen

Comments: the author introduces the life of the United States and China in the way of small title, which is clear and emphases. If you can express your feelings in the introduction, it will bring you closer to the reader.

the american revolution was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in france and russia, when both were already independent nations. significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. what happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. during the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.

america＇s war of independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. one was canada, which received its first large influ of english-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the united states. another was australia, which became a penal colony now that america was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. the third newcomer-the united states-based itself squarely on republican principles.

yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. in some states, notably connecticut and rhode island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already eisting. british officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and parliament.

Maybe the Spring Festival is much more important and interesting than Christmas, but I like Christmas Day better. Because we can spend time with our friends and classmates during Christmas. When it is snowy,

Christmas becomes much more lovely, just like in fairytales. I can imagine I am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. What a beautiful place! So we can also call Christmas “Snowy Lovely Day.”

On Christmas Day, shops are red and green. There are so many Christmas cards, Christmas hats, Christmas dolls and many colourful things. So shops look very beautiful. We can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “Merry Christmas.” By the way, I think studying can also become much more interesting.

Christmas is coming, it also means a new year will come. Let’s study harder to welcome the new year!

也许春节比圣诞节更加重要和有趣,但我更喜欢圣诞节。因为我们可以花时间和我们的朋友和同学在圣诞节。当它下雪了,

圣诞节变得多可爱,就像童话。我可以想象我在一个童话般的`,女孩谁出售了比赛是我的朋友,丑陋的鸭子变得越来越美丽了等等。多么美丽的地方!所以我们也可以通知圣诞"雪白美好的一天。”

在圣诞节,商店是红色和绿色。有这么多的圣诞卡,圣诞帽、圣诞节玩具和许多色彩鲜艳的东西。所以商店看起来很漂亮。我们可以给卡或玩偶来我们的朋友和说“圣诞快乐,“顺便问一句,我觉得学也可以变得更有意思。

圣诞即将来临,这也意味着新年会来的。让我们更努力去迎接新年!

Different social attitudes: The british are, in some ways, less conservative than Americans - the drinking age is 18, not 21, homosexual civil unions are legal, and abortion hasnt been a serious political issue in years. Mixing religion and politics is extremely rare in the UK. On the other hand, there are stricter controls on some things - its much harder to get a driving licence, and the age requirement is higher than in most states, there are speed cameras everwhere, CCTV cameras in many public places (although they may or may not be working), and carrying weapons or other objects for "self defence" is illegal (in particular, note that pepper spray is illegal).

Getting into a debate about the right to bear arms will be very time consuming, and may also lead people to think that youre a gun-nut before theyve got to know you properly.

Smoking in enclosed public places is illegal - that includes pubs, the underground, train stations... more or less any non-residential building actually... (similar to New York, so not so much of a cultural difference there).

the name christmas is short for "christs mass". a mass is a kind of church service. christmas is a religious festival. it is the day we cele

ate as the birthday of jesus. there are special christmas services in christian churches all over the world. but many of the festivities of christmas do not have anything to do with religion. exchanging gifts and sending christmas cards are the modern ways of celeating the christmas in the world.

the birth of jesus had a story: in nazareth, a city of galilee. the virgins name was mary was betrothed to joseph. before they came together, she was found with child of the holy spirit. joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. while he thought about these things, gaiel, an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take mary as wife. and mary willing forth a son, and he shall call his name, jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.

before jesus births, joseph and mary came to quirnius was governing syria. so all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. joseph also went up out of galilee, out of the city of nazareth, into judea, to the city of david, which is called bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of david, to be registered with mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. so it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to bedelivered. and sheought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

浦东转机抵美

闹铃的响声将在梦中熟睡的我叫醒，随后妈妈驱车将我送达合肥新桥机场，随即我们飞往上海浦东机场，经过一个中午的等待，我们终于登上了a-340飞往美国洛杉机的飞机，十二小时的飞行时间让我这个急性子很着急，终于我们平安到达了翘首企盼的洛杉机机场。洛杉机给我的第一印象是清凉、舒适、安逸，没有喧闹，没有许多高楼大厦，一切都是那么的美好，仿佛进入了仙境。

参观加州大学ucla

刚下飞机还没好好休息，又帅又酷的陈导就带领我们马不停蹄地赶往ucla(加州大学洛杉机分校)。首先印入眼睑的是一个大型足球场，据陈导介绍，我最喜爱的皇家马德里曾在此训练过呢!!!不知不觉中我发现我们已进入了校园区，也难怪，美国的大学是没有围墙的。ucla的吉祥物是一只熊，名叫bruins，既可爱又十分庄严，它站在ackermanunion的门口。学校的报纸中作dailybruin，学生证叫bruincard，网络系统又叫bruinonline，bruins也象征了ucla学生们的能力和力量。接着我们又参观了图书馆，里面的馆藏非常丰富，包括《哈利波特》等这类我们喜爱的图书。结束加州大学的参观旅程，我们驱车前往着名的星光大道

星光大道之旅

大约经过一个小时的车程，我们到达了星光大道，在我的想像中星光大道应该很壮观，很气派，到了才发现并不是我想像的那样，不过是在一条街道的两边“刻”了星星，如果不是明星闪耀，这条街道一点也不起眼。我们跟随陈导首先来到了柯达剧院门前，每年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼都在这里举行。我率先找到吴宇森导演的“星星”，他的“星”和其它星有些不同，他的名字刻的是中文而不是英文，十分显人眼目，随后我们又找到了李小龙、成龙和汤姆克鲁斯的“星”。对了，还有一颗特别的“星”，它在墙上，没错，他就是打不倒的拳王泰森的“星星”，由于泰森在职业生涯的拳击大赛中从没倒下过，所以没有放在地上，却独一无二的放在了墙上。

这星光大道虽不怎么壮阔，但是它承载了许多明星们毕生的梦想，为了获奖他们经历千辛万苦却毫无怨言。

畅游迪士尼

说到迪士尼，大家就会情不自禁地想起米奇、米妮——，而说到迪士尼乐园，就会自然而然地想到香港，但是这次去的可是正宗的美国迪士尼乐园!我们上午在鬼屋惊悚了一次，在飞溅山峦尖叫了一次，在泰山树屋欣赏了一次，还在海盗船里吓到了一次——，中午我们饱吃了一顿“汉堡王“，下午又开始疯玩，过了把赛车手的瘾，打了一次”巴斯光年“，又观看了一次游行，在“明日世界”里驾驶星际飞车，在星际间躲避石头，急速下坠，一阵眩晕又返回了地球。在经历了一天的疲劳后，我们终于下塌酒店休息。

好莱坞的传奇

伴随着洛杉机的徐徐海风，我们驱车前往好莱坞环球影城制片厂，我们先去了“变形金刚”，通过了4d感受使我们起了一身鸡皮疙瘩，接下来又去了“侏罗公园”，连续的高空腑冲令我有些魂飞魄散。后来我们又坐电车经历了一场惊险刺激的旅途，一路睛我们遇到了大地震、洪水、木桥坍塌、大白鲨追尾、与金刚对峙等种种意外，还亲身体验了“摩西过红海”、《速度与激情》中街头赛车等电影情节

，让人回味无穷。

惊心动魄的转机之旅

凌晨两点，我们前往洛杉机机场，告别了陈导，告别这个美丽的城市，乘坐飞机飞往哥伦布(合肥友好城市)，由于没有直达的飞机，我们只能先飞到休斯顿，然后再飞往哥伦布，可是由于时差有两个小时，12点46分的飞机，12点21分才到达，下飞机时已经是12点30分了，本以为16分钟可以登上飞机，可逆天的事情发生了。知道休斯顿的外号吗?“航天城”!难不成机场还和新桥一样大么?仔细一翻询问，我们登机口离我们的位置还有好儿千米远啊!还需要坐电车，我们跟着老师经过了近三十分钟的“挣扎”终于登上了飞机。

借宿外国人家

刚下飞机，只见一些老外和本次哥伦布游的大使杷鳞微笑着欢迎我们的到来。我和哥们刘子旭分在了一个外国家庭。主妇杰妮和她的两个孩子驱车将我们接到她家里，一路上，哥伦布这座小城留给我的印象是美、美、美。这儿的绿化保护工作做得十分不错，到哪都是草地，有一种小清新之感，兴许是住在城市久了的原故，我竟再一次沉醉其中，眯睡着了——“welcometoourhouse!”就这样，我们走进了杰妮弗的家，杰妮弗的家和周围其他人家一样是一座小别墅，家里播放着akon激昂的歌曲(谁让我是akon的歌迷呢?)，一切都是那么美好。杰妮弗带领我们参观了他们的房间，介绍了她的家庭。原来她有5个孩子，老大23岁，已经参加工作;老二20岁，正在读大学;还有3个住在家里，屋子后面有个很大的花园，随后我们和她的几个孩子踢了会足球，晚饭比萨十分的美味，脆软香浓，吃一口就知道是必胜客。饭后闲聊了一会，了解到杰妮弗夫妇他们最小女儿是前些年去中国领养的，难怪长得小巧灵珑，一看就象中国小女孩。也许我们太累了，一觉醒来竟是第二天的下午三点钟，我们还不知情，并很有礼貌地说“goodmorning”吃完午餐后我们看了cus的football的训练课，听了一场音乐会，并参观了美国警局!!原来cus父亲是一位警长。美国警局并不像中国的派出所，这儿十分安静，人十分稀少，还有图书馆、博物馆——第二天早晨，我们便告别了杰妮弗一家，开始新的旅程。

俄亥俄州立大学的魅力

告别了杰妮弗一家，我们便跟随杷鳞参观了全美最大的校园——俄亥俄州立大学(ohio)，我们参观了全美最先进的osu体育馆rpac和橄榄球场，还有thomson图书馆、招生办——到哪都能看见学生们捧着书在细细地品味，不像中国学生只知道玩游戏，也许这就是中外学生的差别吧!吃完了拿破伦比萨，我们又马不停蹄地赶往哥伦布议会大厅，一路上想像着大厅有多么地壮观，可到了才知道这个大厅十分简单，一张会议桌和几个办公室，哥伦布的一名议员向我们介绍了哥伦布的历史、城市长展等等。接下来，令人激动的事情发生了，杷鳞博士带着我们去了alumcreek水库公园，到公园去烧烤了!水库边的环境十分优美，水天一色，躺在山丘上一种幸福的感觉忽然涌了出来，脑海中仿佛现出儿时美好的故事，就这样我沉浸在美好的回忆中，久久无法自拔，边烤的汉堡、热狗都不顾了，一个人就这么躺着，呼吸着大自然的芳香。

看飞机体验大自然

我们在太阳的引导下奔向了哥伦布美国航空基地，不仅见到了黑鹰战斗机，还看到了我拉偶像战机——在日本投下原子弹的b-2隐形轰炸机。不看不晓得，一看才知道，美

国好几十年前研发的战斗机跟现在的飞机技术也差不到哪里，这让我十分费解，只能说明美国十分伟大!中午一顿汉堡大餐后，我们前往darby河自然生态环境保护区，区内有一座房子，这不是一般的房子，是监控整条河以及其保护区的地方，房内设施十分先进，还有条darby河模拟水缸，里面有龟、鱼、小虫小虾等等，就如同真的一样。参观结束后，真正的考验来了，我们得下河捉鱼，然后现放生，下水的第一感觉就是凉、爽。由于我们迎着逆流捉鱼，不少人跌倒在水中，进行了消暑。我十分努力地寻找着河中生物，可我的运气就是差一点，总共才捉住了一条鱼，还是很常见的种类，真是太不尽人意了。通过这次亲身体验，其实大自然是那么的体贴，只有去亲身体验，才能感受到那一种独特之美。

观光美国都城

告别了那个让人无法忘记的城市，我们历经了8小时的一路观光，抵达国都——华盛顿。弗吉尼亚州不像俄亥俄州，它濒临大西洋，有高原山脉，温度要比俄亥俄州高，但时不时伴随着凉爽的海风，毕竟大海就在不远处嘛。上午我们参观了discovery航天飞机，udvar-hazy宇航中心飞机多得吓人，在这里我看到了中国抗日时期的飞机和陈纳德飞虎了队的飞机，这让我突然想起了一首经典老歌“雄赳赳，气昂昂，跨过鸭绿江——一时激起了我爱国情怀——接下来，随着飞机的“咆哮”，我们参观到了国会山庄、白宫、林肯纪念堂，在林肯纪念堂中一个人坐在椅子上，目视着正前方，没错，他就是林肯，是一位鞋匠的儿子，他不怕他人的暗杀，不怕白人对他的反对，用宣言来解放了黑奴，从此开启了新的时代。

中转费城抵纽约

早晨，阳光明媚，我们离开了景色优美的美国首府。在我的脑海里，华盛顿树木葱茏，哥伦布就好比一个孤立的小国家，里面有国会大厦，住着当今的美国总统奥巴马，一切都是那么得肃静，就这样，在这种回忆中转眼间我们已来到了曾经的美国首都——“友爱之城”费城，天空中弥漫着久久无法散去的炊烟，和那有些呛鼻的马尿味，有认会想到在二百多年前，在这里通过了独立宣言，珍藏着着名的自由钟呢?参观独立宫之后，我们缓缓地来到了宾夕法尼亚大学的沃顿商学院，学院并非想象中的那么的庞大、壮观，虽然外表十分普通，但这里曾出过巴菲特，雅诗兰黛的总裁等人，这让我心动了，下定了决心一定要上沃顿商学院!可是导游(对了，还没介绍呢，自陈导后的第二位导游张导)的一番话可有些打击我。“上沃顿的条件是：高考成绩各门几乎满分，托福要118分以上(满分120分)，要有省长、市长写推荐信后，并且还要有州长的推荐信，就这么样也不能保证能被录取，只是可能会考虑考虑。”(不过，我以后一定要奋斗，沃顿不行，其它好大学又不是不行)最让我惊呀的在纪念品商店里无意间发现美国大学一年级才开始学习解方程!真让人费解啊!

最后一站——纽约

我们前往纽约，要在这里度过最后的三天，我忽然感觉到十分珍惜，难忘，舍不得，不想回去了，带着这种感觉我们踏上了纽约之旅，伴随着徐徐海风，我们乘坐游轮前往自由岛，去瞧一瞧那高大巍峨的自由女神像，不看不觉得有多么美，一看惊讶极了，女神的右手高举着象征自由的火炬，左手捧着刻有1776年7月4日的《独立宣言》，脚下是砸碎的手铐，脚镣和锁链，头上戴着皇冠，仿佛她在把自由照耀世界。后来又去了华尔街、第五大道等地。最后参观的是普林斯顿大学，学校充满着19世纪中叶时的那种味道，整所学校都弥漫在书香的氛围中，欲浓欲烈，有些使人痴醉，在这，我们结束了本次美国之旅。第二天中午，我们悄然离开了纽约，迎接我们的是新的学期。加油，努力吧。

When meeting someone for the first time it is customary to shake hands both for men and for women. Hugs are only exchanged between close friends. Kissing is not common and men never kiss other men.

Americans will usually introduce themselves by their first name and last name (such as “Hello I’m John Smith”) or if the setting is very casual by their first name only (“Hi I’m John”). The common response when someone is introduced to you is “Pleased to meet you.” Unless someone is introduced to you with their title and last name (such as Mister Smith or Miss Johnson) you should address them by their first name. Americans normally address everyone they meet in a social or business setting by their first name. However you should always address your college professors by their title and last name (such as Professor Jones) unless they ask you to do otherwise.

第一次见面的时候，男人和女人都习惯握手。拥抱只是亲密朋友之间的交换。接吻并不常见，男人从不亲吻其他男人。

美国人通常会介绍他们自己的名字和姓氏(如“你好，我是约翰·史密斯”)，或者，如果设置很随便，由他们的名字只(“嗨，我是约翰”)。当某人被介绍给你时，通常的反应是“很高兴见到你”，除非有人向你介绍他们的姓和姓(如史米斯先生或约翰逊小姐)，你应该称呼他们的名字.。美国人通常用他们的名字称呼他们在社交或商务场合遇到的每个人.。然而，你应该总是称呼你的大学教授的头衔和姓(如琼斯教授)，除非他们要求你做其他的事情.。

浦东转机抵美

闹铃的响声将在梦中熟睡的我叫醒，随后妈妈驱车将我送达合肥新桥机场，随即我们飞往上海浦东机场，经过一个中午的等待，我们终于登上了A-340飞往美国洛杉机的飞机，十二小时的飞行时间让我这个急性子很着急，终于我们平安到达了翘首企盼的洛杉机机场。洛杉机给我的第一印象是清凉、舒适、安逸，没有喧闹，没有许多高楼大厦，一切都是那么的美好，仿佛进入了仙境。

参观加州大学UCLA

刚下飞机还没好好休息，又帅又酷的陈导就带领我们马不停蹄地赶往UCLA(加州大学洛杉机分校)。首先印入眼睑的是一个大型足球场，据陈导介绍，我最喜爱的皇家马德里曾在此训练过呢!!!不知不觉中我发现我们已进入了校园区，也难怪，美国的大学是没有围墙的。UCLA的吉祥物是一只熊，名叫BRUINS，既可爱又十分庄严，它站在AckermanUnion的门口。学校的报纸中作DAILYBRUIN，学生证叫BRUINCARD，网络系统又叫BRUINONLINE，BRUINS也象征了UCLA学生们的能力和力量。接着我们又参观了图书馆，里面的馆藏非常丰富，包括《哈利波特》等这类我们喜爱的图书。结束加州大学的参观旅程，我们驱车前往着名的星光大道

星光大道之旅

大约经过一个小时的车程，我们到达了星光大道，在我的想像中星光大道应该很壮观，很气派，到了才发现并不是我想像的那样，不过是在一条街道的两边“刻”了星星，如果不是明星闪耀，这条街道一点也不起眼。我们跟随陈导首先来到了柯达剧院门前，每年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼都在这里举行。我率先找到吴宇森导演的“星星”，他的“星”和其它星有些不同，他的名字刻的是中文而不是英文，十分显人眼目，随后我们又找到了李小龙、成龙和汤姆克鲁斯的“星”。对了，还有一颗特别的“星”，它在墙上，没错，他就是打不倒的拳王泰森的“星星”，由于泰森在职业生涯的拳击大赛中从没倒下过，所以没有放在地上，却独一无二的放在了墙上。

这星光大道虽不怎么壮阔，但是它承载了许多明星们毕生的梦想，为了获奖他们经历千辛万苦却毫无怨言。

什么是唐人街呢?它是中国的一个街道吗?当然不是!它是在其他国家中的由很多海外的中国人居住在一起形成的唐人街。

美国有很多的唐人街，其中最大的就是纽约的唐人街。这里有近150000个人住在这里。唐人街也是一个很好的地方去旅行，去游玩。

在唐人街购物是很好玩的，你可以在这里找到很多东西。大部分的东西都是由中国制造。它是最好的购物场所，因为那儿的东西真的非常便宜。

唐人街有超过200个的饭店，你可以在这里享受传统的中国美食。最著名的饭店就是新银地方饭店。你可以在依然绿色饭店吃到一些上海的食物。

在唐人街居住的人真的很便利。你可以在周围找到医院，学校，银行，图书馆和超市。在一些学校里学生必须学习中文。在沿海地区的中国人也把自己的孩子带到这种学校里来，他们希望自己的孩子能多学一些中国历史以及中国的文化。

The topic like“what’s a university?” or “what a university should do?” has been discussed many times in every age. Not only educationalists but also students take into it. Is it necessary to give priority to skills and knowledge in university education as they are essential to employers? Or students in universities should have access to all of knowledge just as they have their own sake? Chose A or B, this is a problem.

The value of knowledge itself need to be considered first in university education even though the course is not as practical as skills and technology. In Chinese culture, morality education is always took at first. It said that the way of real learning is to develop and expand virtue, to innovate peoples’ opinions, to get the best goodness. In addition, there are four stages in the success of a gentleman: first, to cultivate his moral characters; second, regulate his own family; third, rule the state successfully; forth, let the world get peace. In Chinese traditional value, students in

university need to develop his morality firstly, though these knowledge is not as useful as other skills after they get a job.

On the other hand, the practicability of a university course is also worth considering, especially in the age when our government call for the attention to skills and technology in university education and when the employees prefer to capacity and practical knowledge of employers. The time in university is limited and conditions and aims of students are different. When students chose which course to learn, it is inevitable for some of them prefer to those which are more needed in workplace.

Universities give equal access to all of knowledge, including the practical courses and others. What’s more, they need give more chance to students to choose what to learn. Congratulate on diversity!
