+ 加入清单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 example, 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 excellent 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.

+ 加入清单浦东转机抵美
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。
篇5:美国英语作文
全文共 1338 字
+ 加入清单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.

+ 加入清单When I visited Beijing last year,
my friend there arranged for me a campus visit to Beijing University,
which left a deep impression on me. From my point of view, campus tourism can greatly benefit people and the society as well.
To begin with, universities are holy palaces of knowledge to common people. Campus
tourism offers a good chance to them to come near their dreamland, realizing their dreams which didn’t or haven’t come true. Touring around the university campus can satisfy people’s respect for science, culture and humanism, which is well worth doing.
Furthermore, campus tourism will do a lot of good to our society without any investment. Sample 3
Now it is common to see a lot of parents and grandparents showing their children, even toddlers, around the university campus, which is becoming more and more popular in our society. The phenomenon has generated a heated debate. As far as I am concerned, all tour groups should be banned from the campus. My reasons for this are as follows:
First, we should maintain order on campus. A university should be a place for students and professors to learn and study. If it is crowded with photo-snapping tourists, talking loudly near
classrooms, a quiet study enviroment will be disturbed, thus causing many complaints from students and teachers.
Second, security is also an aspect we should take into consideration concerning campus tourism. If a university becomes a tourist destination, people of different kinds will flock to the campus. Perhaps not only will some public or teaching facilities be damaged, but the security of personal property can not be guaranteed.
All the disadvantages considered, we should close the doors of universities to public visitors.
A quiet and peaceful place should be given back to the professors and students in the university.

+ 加入清单before the 1850s, the united states had a number of small colleges, most of them dating from colonial days. they were small, church connected institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moral character of their students.
throughout europe, institutions of higher learning had developed, bearing the ancient name of university. in german university was concerned primarily with creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. between mid-century and the end of the 1800s, more than nine thousand young americans, dissatisfied with their training at home, went to germany for advanced study. some of them return to become presidents of venerable colleges-----harvard, yale, columbia---and transform them into modern universities. the new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty.
professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for disciplining students. the new principle was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it on, and this called for a faculty composed of teacher-scholars. drilling and learning by rote were replaced by the german method of lecturing, in which the professors own research was presented in class. graduate training leading to the ph.d., an ancient german degree signifying the highest level of advanced scholarly attainment, was introduced. with the establishment of the seminar system, graduate student learned to question, analyze, and conduct their own research.
at the same time, the new university greatly epanded in size and course offerings, breaking completely out of the old, constricted curriculum of mathematics, classics, rhetoric, and music. the president of harvard pioneered the elective system, by which students were able to choose their own course of study. the notion of major fields of study emerged. the new goal was to make the university relevant to the real pursuits of the world. paying close heed to the practical needs of society, the new universities trained men and women to work at its tasks, with engazuowenng students being the most characteristic of the new regime. students were also trained as economists, architects, agriculturalists, social welfare workers, and teachers.

+ 加入清单the average family income of the u.s.a. has increased from 20,000 dollars per year in 1992 to 25,000 in 20xx. along with this considerable increase in people’s income, the way in which the average family spends its income has also varied to some extent. the average expenditure of family income is divided into several sectors, namely, housing, clothing, food and drink, transport, medical care, entertainment, savings and other items.
from the table, it is quite interesting to find that the money spent on some sectors such as food and drink (2%) and entertainment (6%) in 1992 and 20xx remains the same. for transport, the percentage of 20xx is only 1% larger than that of 1992. it is also worth mentioning that in 20xx, people tend to save less money than in 1992 because people deposit only half the money they used to in 1990. there is a greater increase in the expenses on housing and medical care, increasing by 8% and 6% respectively. on the other hand, people tend to spend less money on clothes, for there is a 5% decrease in 20xx compared with that in 1992. as far as other items are concerned, there is a sharp decrease in the percentage of family income spent on them, accounting for only 7% of the total.
it can be seen from the statistics that in american people’s life food and drink, entertainment and transport had always been important. with family income increasing, american people began to give first priority to housing and medical care, thereby improving their living conditions and invigorating health. by saving less, they presented to us the implication that they expected a fairly secure prospect.

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。

+ 加入清单The American tour is over, and a little bit of the American swim through time and space tunnel, drip in my heart, printed in my mind.
America is an independent country. As for education, in China, we are all the baby in the family, holding hands in our hands, a little hurt is not willing to let us, more reluctant to stay away from our parents arms. American parents are more relaxed about their children and let them succeed with their own efforts. I saw such a scene in the United States, a baby fell down, and the babys mother didnt have as much pain as her parents in China, but taught him how to get up. At the sorran school in Los Angeles, there are many big brothers and sisters who are doing volunteer work to get credits, and they create their own world with their own hands. Our Chinese students may be little princess princesses at home. But in the United States, our landlady has made us experience our own dishes and the joys of labor. Thats how two parents of different countries have different approaches to education kids. Perhaps, the pain is some, but only temporary, but the cowardice in the heart once formed, is permanent, cannot change. This is worth learning.
American thrift is more worth learning. In China, we may be a little wasteful, but in the United States, most of the meals are buffet. There are some Chinese students who have been watching for a while. Many students take a lot of food, but many of them are wasted, and americans eat as much as they can and never waste food. My MOM is a woman who knows her life well and doesnt live in a wealthy neighborhood, but her family has always been frugal. They have three cars, an armored car, a sports car and a car. Two of them are luxury cars, and one is a Mercedes Benz in the eighties. In China, people tend to drive luxury cars, and they usually drive old cars. They have a pool where they often hold parties, so that we have the privilege of meeting more foreigners.
On the first day to Los Angeles, Xu Mingjie very lucky and I attended a local wedding, it was a very romantic wedding, under the illuminate of lamplight, a couple looks very bright. Little girls and small, well-fitted dresses add another look to the wedding.
Christianity was the bishop of the United States, and in the soslan school, it was the propaganda of Christianity. In that, although we believe in Buddhism, we respect their Christian culture, which is the highlight of Chinese students abroad. Our family still goes to church on the weekend.
In the United States, we went to shopping malls, and the shop assistants were very enthusiastic about us, and we were in that crazy shopping, invisibility, which promoted the economic development of the United States. To think about, and why the salesman students enthusiasm for China, which is not Chinas continuous development, continuous increase in the national economy, despite this, we dont it is for the welfare of the United States?
After a week of study, we went on to the east, the White House, congress, the United Nations, Wall Street, Broadway... Let us experience another American amorous feelings.
I dont think americans are as gentlemanly as British people, but there are still places to learn, and Ive benefited a lot from this trip to America.

当我第一次见到乔纳森·斯威夫特的作品之一——《格列佛游记》时,我以为是像《鲁滨孙漂流记》那样的历险小说,但当我翻开书,看了书的前言部分才知道,原来这是一部充满童话色彩的讽刺小说。但小说的童话色彩只是表面的局部特征,尖锐深邃的讽刺才是其灵魂。
看完《格列佛游记》之后,我们不能不审视自己,看看我们身上有没有这些顽疾劣根的影子,看看我们是否像作者描述的耶胡那样。
我们的社会虽然不像当时英国那样败落,但也好不到哪去。小偷小摸、乱扔乱丢、破坏公物,都是我们身边随处可见的事。杀人放火、贩毒走私、残暴疯狂。也是我们在电视中经常见到的事,都已经不足为奇了。这么一个浑浊的社会,是要靠我们来澄清的。现在的我们虽然不一定做出什么轰轰烈烈的事情来,但是我们至少可以做我们能做到的事。就算是低下头拣起一片垃圾,扶老人过马路,在公共汽车上让座……这都是我们的举手之劳。
看完此书,我感慨颇深。我希望我们的社会能在我们的努力下,成为像慧因国那样的社会。我愿为此付出,从我做起,从小事做起,从现在做起,让这个社会多一点阳光,少一点黑暗。
