I am pleased to serve as your guide today.

This is the palace museum; also know as the Purple Forbidden City. It is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in China today. Under Ming Emperor Yongle, construction began in 1406. It took 14years to build the Forbidden City. The first ruler who actually lived here was Ming Emperor Zhudi. For five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate the throne .In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization recognized the Forbidden City was a world cultural legacy.

It is believed that the Palace Museum, or Zi Jin Cheng (Purple Forbidden City), got its name from astronomy folklore, The ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan(North Star). The constellation containing the North Star was called the Constellation of Heavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace. Because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence. In folklore, the term ”an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, LaoZi, to the Hanghu Pass. Here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. The word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people.

The red and yellow used on the palace walls and roofs are also symbolic. Red represents happiness, good fortune and wealth. Yellow is the color of the earth on the Loess Plateau, the original home of the Chinese people. Yellow became an imperial color during the Tang dynasty, when only members of the royal family were allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture.

The Forbidden City is rectangular in shape. It is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west. It has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters .A 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9.9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex. Octagon —shaped turrets rest on the four corners of the wall. There are four entrances into the city: the Meridian Gate to the south, the Shenwu Gate(Gate of Military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate(Gate of military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate(Western Flowery Gate )to the west ,the Donghua (Eastern Flowery Gate) to the east.

Manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the Forbidden City. A total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers were employed. Marble was quarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian County in Hebei Province. Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province. Paving blocks were fired in kilns in Suzhou in southern China. Bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in Shandong Province .Timber was cut ,processed and hauled from the northwestern and southern regions.

The structure in front of us is the Meridian Gate. It is the main entrance to the forbidden City. It is also knows as Wufenglou(Five-Phoenix Tower). Ming emperors held lavish banquets here on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar year in hornor of their counties .They also used this place for punishing officals by flogging them with sticks.

Qing emperors used this building to announce the beginning of the new year. Qing Emperor Qianglong changed the original name of this announcement ceremony from ban li(announcement of calendar)to ban shou(announcement of new moon )to avoid coincidental association with another Emperor` s name, Hongli, which was considered a taboo at that time. Qing Dynasty emperors also used this place to hold audience and for other important ceremonies. For example,when the imperial army returned victoriously from the battlefield ,it was here that the Emperor presided over the ceremony to accept prisoners of war.

(After entering the Meridian Gate and standing in front of the Five Marble Bridges on Golden Water River)

Now we are inside the Forbidden City.Before we start our tour, I would like to briefly introduce you to the architectural patterns befour us .To complete this solemn, magnificent and palatial complex, a variety of buildings were arranged on a north-south axis, and 8-kilometer-long invisible line that has become an inseparable part of the City of Beijing. The Forbidden City covers roughly one –third of this central axis. Most of the important building in the Forbidden City weree arranged along this line. The design and arrangement of the palaces reflect the solemn dignity of the royal court and rigidly –stratified feudal system.

The Forbidden City is divided into an outer and an inner count.We are now standing on the southernmost part of the outer count. In front of us lies the Gate of supreme Harmony .The gate is guarded by a pair of bronze lions ,symbolizing imperial power and dignity. The lions were the most exquisite and biggest of its kind. The one on the east playing with a ball is a male, and ball is said to represent state unity. The other one is a female. Underneath one of its fore claws is a cub that is considered to be a symbol of perpetual imperial succession. The winding brook before us is the Golden Water River. It functions both as decoration and fire control .The five bridges spanning the river represent the five virtues preached by Confucius :benevolence, righteousness, rites, intellence and fidelity. The river takes the shape of a bow and the north-south axis is its arrow. This was meant to show that the Emperors ruled the country on behalf of God.

The autumn wind swept the Jinan, with a layer of dark yellow and Zhu Hong. The autumn wind is invisible. You cant touch it, but you can only feel it sings in a fine voice. With the autumn leaves roll up, they seem to have become a light dancing girl, finger toward the sky, whirling and dancing, skirt flying in the air, not what can let them stop. The world seems to have disappeared, from the beginning to the end that only the autumn wind and the autumn leaves are dancing.

Jinan spring and summer sun, while the winter sun is early hidden, ending is also very bad. The sky is a gray, and it is more deep compared to the other. After a long time, the rain fell. The sky seemed to sink, but the air became much lighter. Look at the sky, a layer of light green, from it to the next day, from it to the ground, slowly rendering on rice paper.

The autumn rain in Jinan is said to come.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Its my honor to tell you about the changes of my school.

When you walk around our school, you can see various flowers and trees everywhere. At the same time, you can smell the taste, breathe fresh air. Its a nice place for us to study.

女士们，先生们，大家早上好！我很荣幸告诉大家关于我学校的变化。当你行走于校园的时候，你随处可以看到各种各样的鲜花和树木。同时，你可以闻到味道，呼吸新鲜空气。这是我们学习的好地方。

Please look at the new building over there. Its our library that was painted white again this year. It not only looks more beautiful, but also has increasingly more books than before. Reading different kinds of books can enhance our horizons and increase our knowledge. I still remember I entered the school two years ago, the library was old enough and I always couldnt find my favorite comic books. Therefore, I often complained to my classmates that the library was out of fashion that we were not able to learn fresh knowledge in it.

请大家看那边的新楼，那是我们今年重新刷白的图书馆。它不仅看起来更漂亮了，而且书本也比以前多了。阅读不同种类的书籍可以开阔我们的视野，增长我们的知识。我仍记得两年前我进校园的时候，图书馆很老，我总是找不到我最喜欢的宇宙书籍。因此，我常常对同学抱怨图书馆已经过时了，我们学不到新的知识。

What was even worse, as a member of school basketball team, my partners and I had few chances to practice, as the playground was too small to play and full of so many students after school. Luckily, I dont have to worry about that anymore, because our playground is large enough for all of us to play games, and basketball court is also bigger. Thats wonderful!

更糟糕的是，作为校篮球队的一员，我的队友和我很少有机会去训练，因为课后很多学生，操场太小了不能玩。幸运的是，我不用再担心那么多了，因为我们的操场足够大，我们可以玩游戏，篮球场也更大了。真是太好了“！

My school has changed a lot, for it is more beautiful and modern. I love my school.

我的学校改变了很多，因为它更漂亮更现代化了。我爱我的学校。

星期四的下午，我们学校举行春游活动，我兴高采烈地乘着汽车，带上零食，到南郊公园去春游，南郊公园游记作文。到了南郊公园，我下了车，走进大门。只见那里的花花草草迎面招手，像欢迎我们似的。进了大门走了一段路，眼前出现了一个大湖，湖水清澈见底，湖面上还有几只小船浮在水面上，真是美丽极了！哇！那是什么好玩的？是“浪圈珍珠”，上面有个大转盘，转盘上有些巨大的“鸡蛋”，上面破了一个洞，里面可以坐人。

我先看是怎么个玩法，等别人坐在“鸡蛋”里时，“鸡蛋”转来转去，真是好笑，我笑得合不拢嘴。轮到我们了，等我坐到“鸡蛋”里时，转盘开动了！我心里想：“这算什么”！我还没想完，整个“鸡蛋”都转了起来，我大声尖叫，心里又害怕又好笑，笑得我眼泪直流，终于停了！可“鸡蛋”还在慢慢地转，吓得我不敢下去，真刺激！我们又走了一段路，那又是什么？噢！是“金龙滑车”，一个龙车在几十米高的地方，从铁索道上滑下去。“这算什么”！我自言自语地说。我先看别人玩，等他们坐到龙车上时，开动了！龙车象箭一样！轮到我了，龙车一开动，像风一样地冲过去，像似在天上飞。一个急转弯！龙车像翻了似的，真是可怕！接下来是玩“海盗船”，只见一艘巨大的船吊在上面。我看别人玩，船一开动，像摇篮在摇，而且一次比一次高！轮到我了，开始我还觉得没什么大不了，后来越来越高，我有一点紧张，上去没什么可怕，可下去心就非常冷。

真是好玩！接下来是玩“转马”，我一上去，坐到一匹粉红色的马上，马转了起来，一上一下真好玩，我想追上前面的那匹马，可怎么也追不上！我们接下来时去看动物表演，那里的动物很多，有猴、马、羊、狮子、老虎……那里的人非常多，我也看不见，我只好到树下乘凉。我们准备去趣乐园，半路中，有一座铁索桥，扶手是铁索，桥板是用木头做的，我心里想：“这难不倒我”！我飞快地跑了过去，只见有一些人不快不慢地走，有的非常害怕，用手扶着铁索，一步一步往前走。到了趣乐园，只见里面的东西都是用木头做的，我们找了一块空地坐下，吃着自己带的食物，吃饱了就去玩。时间到了，我们依依不舍地回校了，但这次春游我永远忘不了。

​导语：白宫有着独特而迷人的历史。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!

For almost two hundred years, the White House has stood as a symbol of the Presidency, the United States government, and the American people. Its history, and the history of the nations capital, began when President George Washington signed an Act of Congress in December of 1790 declaring that the federal government would reside in a district "not exceeding ten miles square...on the river Potomac." President Washington, together with city planner Pierre LEnfant, chose the site for the new residence, which is now 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. As preparations began for the new federal city, a competition was held to find a builder of the "Presidents House." Nine proposals were submitted, and Irish-born architect James Hoban won a gold medal for his practical and handsome design.

Construction began when the first cornerstone was laid in October of 1792. Although President Washington oversaw the construction of the house, he never lived in it. It was not until 1800, when the White House was nearly completed, that its first residents, President John Adams and his wife, Abigail, moved in. Since that time, each President has made his own changes and additions. The White House is, nts private home. It is also the only private residence of a head of state that is open to the public, free of charge.

The White House has a unique and fascinating history. It survived a fire at the hands of the British in 1814 and another fire in the West Wing in 1929, while Herbert Hoover was President. Throughout much of Harry S. Trumans presidency, the interior of the house, with the exception of the third floor, was completely gutted and renovated while the Trumans lived at Blair House, right across Pennsylvania Avenue. Nonetheless, the exterior stone walls are those first put in place when the White House was constructed two centuries ago.

Presidents can express their individual style in how they decorate some parts of the house and in how they receive the public during their stay. Thomas Jefferson held the first Inaugural open house in 1805. Many of those who attended the swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol simply followed him home, where he greeted them in the Blue Room. President Jefferson also opened the house for public tours, and it has remained open, except during wartime, ever since. In addition, he welcomed visitors to annual receptions on New Year’s Day and on the Fourth of July. In 1829, a horde of 20,000 Inaugural callers forced President Andrew Jackson to flee to the safety of a hotel while, on the lawn, aides filled washtubs with orange juice and whiskey to lure the mob out of the mud-tracked White House.

After Abraham Lincolns presidency, Inaugural crowds became far too large for the White House to accommodate them comfortably. However, not until Grover Clevelands first presidency did this unsafe practice change. He held a presidential review of the troops from a flag-draped grandstand built in front of the White House. This procession evolved into the official Inaugural parade we know today. Receptions on New Years Day and the Fourth of July continued to be held until the early 1930s.

President Clintons open house on January 21, 1993 renewed a venerable White House Inaugural tradition. Two thousand citizens, selected by lottery, were greeted in the Diplomatic Reception Room by President and Mrs. Clinton and Vice President and Mrs. Gore.

近二百年来，白宫一直是总统、美国政府和美国人民的象征。它的历史，和历史上的国家的首都，开始的时候，乔治·华盛顿总统签署了一项国会法案在十二月1790宣布联邦政府将居住区”不超过十平方英里…波托马克河上。“华盛顿总统，连同城市规划师彼埃尔朗方，选择了新的住所网站，就是现在的宾夕法尼亚大道1600号。当准备开始为新的联邦城市，举行比赛找到一个建设者的“总统府”九项建议被提交，爱尔兰出生的建筑师James Hoban获得金牌，他的实际设计和英俊。

1792十月开始铺设第一座基石时，建筑就开始了。尽管华盛顿总统监督这座房子的建造，但他从未在里面居住过。直到1800，当白宫已近完成，它的第一批居民，约翰·亚当斯总统和他的妻子，阿比盖尔，感动。从那时起，每个总统都有自己的变化和补充。白宫是新界的私人住宅。它也是一个国家元首的唯一私人住所，免费向公众开放。

白宫有着独特而迷人的历史。它在1814的英国手上幸存下来，1929在西翼发生了另一场大火，而Herbert Hoover则是总统。在哈里·S·杜鲁门的总统任期，这所房子的内部，与第三楼外，完全被烧毁和翻新而trumans住在布莱尔家，在宾夕法尼亚大道的权利。尽管如此，外墙石墙是在两个世纪前建造白宫时首次出现的。

总统可以表达他们的个人风格，他们如何装饰房子的某些部分，以及他们在入住期间如何接待公众。托马斯·杰斐逊在1805举办了首届就职公开赛。在美国国会大厦参加宣誓仪式的许多人只是跟着他回家，在蓝色房间里迎接他们。杰佛逊总统还开放了公众参观的房子，它一直开放，除了在战争期间，从那时起。此外，他欢迎游客在元旦和七月四日举行一年一度的招待会。1829、一大群听众20000就职总统安德鲁·杰克逊被迫逃往安全的旅馆，在草地上，身边充满washtubs橙汁和威士忌吸引怪物的mud-tracked白宫。

在亚伯拉罕.林肯就任总统后，就职人群变得太大了，白宫无法舒适地接待他们。然而，直到克利夫兰的第一任总统这样做不安全的做法改变。他举行了总统检阅部队从国旗覆盖看台建在白宫前。这一行列演变成今天我们所知道的正式就职游行。元旦和七月四日的招待会一直持续到1930年代初。

1993年1月21日，克林顿总统的公开会议重申了白宫悠久的就职传统。二千名公民被抽签选中，在外交接待室受到总统和夫人克林顿和副总统Gore夫人的欢迎。
