Today, I experienced the most irritating traffic jam ever in my life. My

father was driving me to watch a movie with my friends from high school, who I

have not seen since graduation. I was hoping to have a wonderful re-union with

them. However, our car was stuck in the middle of ____ road because two drivers

were fighting and their cars blocked the way. Even with the help from local

policeman, the road was not clear until one hour later. As a result, I missed

篇3:澳大利亚之行作文800字

全文共 1014 字

+ 加入清单

暑假的一天晚上,我和爸爸妈妈一起出发去澳大利亚,我们乘了9个小时的飞机,平安地到达了澳大利亚墨尔本机场,开始了我们愉快的旅行。

我们在机场附近租了一辆汽车,这次的旅行是由我爸爸驾车带我们去的。到达酒店之后,我们放好行李,就出门去附近的超市买菜。超市里的物品琳琅满目,这里的蔬菜比肉还贵。

我们自己煮了饭,随后便开车去海边游玩。这里的海水真是清澈见底,隐隐约约地能看见几条小鱼自由自在地在水里玩耍,蓝蓝的大海让我们的心情一下子好了起来。玩了一会,天色渐渐地暗了下来,我们得回去洗澡睡觉了。明天不知道有什么好玩的等着我们呢,我好期待呀!

哈哈,第二天开始了,今天的天气真不错,我们吃完早餐收拾好行李,坐上汽车,开始了今天的旅途。

第一站,我们要去大洋路的沙滩玩沙子。因为现在的澳大利亚是冬天,所以我们不敢下海,海水太冷了。到了海滩,一眼望去,辽阔的大海不时泛起层层海浪,真是美丽极了!这里海滩非常的干净,一点垃圾都没有,如果在我们国内也能做到这么好就好了,所以我们要保护环境,保护大自然。

对了,澳大利亚还有一项规定,这里可以钓鱼的地方如果钓到了小鱼、小虾是要放回大海的。我脱了鞋子,卷起裤脚和袖子,和妹妹一起玩起了沙子。我负责挖沙坑,妹妹负责筑起围墙,不让海水冲毁。我挖坑的姿势看起来像是一只小狗在刨土。远处有几个外国小朋友在冲浪,他们不怕冷吗?但是看到他们玩得这么高兴可能已经忘记了寒冷。我和妹妹玩得不亦乐乎的时候,妈妈走过来对我们说要去下一站了,我们只好依依不舍地告别了海滩。

第二站,我们要去国家森林公园。可是我们在去的途中遇到了麻烦,一棵大树挡住了我们道路。爸爸和二爸爸一起下车想把树搬开,可是太重了搬不动,后来又来了几辆车,最后几位叔叔和爸爸一起,终于把大树移开了。不一会儿我们就到达了目的地,这里的森林公园有着千年大树,各种各样的植物,树木郁郁葱葱,空气也非常的清新,让人感觉心旷神怡,流连忘返。

第三站,我们来到了十二门徒,那里可以坐直升飞机。工作人员为我们系好救生衣,我们乘坐的是一架可以坐七个人的直升飞机,看到远处直升飞机缓缓降落,我们坐上飞机系好安全带,飞机缓缓升起飞向蓝天。我看到了辽阔的大海、十二门徒、伦敦断桥…这些优美的景色,一个个滑过我的眼底,从天空中欣赏这些景色也显得格外好看!

我们就这样在澳大利亚自由自在地玩了八天,依依不舍地回到了我们的祖国,我的家乡---宁波。如果下次还有机会,我还要到这么美丽的地方去游玩!

当我们呱呱坠地时就以经开始有责任感了。对父母,对社会上的所有,只有你负了责任,别人一定也在为你负责。下面是小编带来的是关于责任的英文作文,希望对您有帮助。

The moonlight shines in through the window, clean the floor, the floor if hydroscope, reflecting the gentle, pure as jade october. The shelves of books, at the moment, become a small soldier, a sentry in order to stand strict in demands. Is it because of the magic of moonlight that makes everything clean and tidy?

Who can think of, this clean room was messy "dog"?

"The room is so messy, it takes a lot of time to do it for you every time." The mother with her brows locked, sweeping and sweeping, and even a little confused.

"My big lady, usually you also clean up the room, OK?"."

"Oh, I see." I was waving impatiently.

In a flash, mom suddenly exploded: "every time its" I know ", but which one did you do? Just a slob!"

Im not happy when I listen to my mother. Its natural revolt. Family wars broke out.

The end of the war, both sides, mother angrily left. I am also the nose, reddish eyes. Silence for a while, I turned off the lights, ready to sleep. Outside the window, the bright moonlight flows into the room, infiltrates in my body, moist like water, gives the human feeling of comfort, resembles comforts, also appears in the instruction. Yes, it might be a good thing to tidy up the room as if it were moonlight or clean water.

Second days after the completion of the operation, I diligently will manageably desk have all a hideous mess of information. At the beginning, it was not suitable, and gradually, it was not so confused. Soon, the table was cleaned. Extracurricular books are extracurricular books, textbooks are textbooks, and learning materials and entertainment products have their respective fixed positions. Then fold the clothes scattered on the bed, put them into the wardrobe, and tidy up the schoolbag well. All pick up after, I wiped the sweat on the head carefully wiping the amount of fine, a surprise to see the finishing room, everything is so neat.

When my mother came in and gave me the apple, her eyes were pleasantly surprised, and she praised me with her thumbs up. I have some awkward to head off the past, the mouth of the slightly rising radian, but overflowing the pride and joy of my heart.

Night, moonlight, like songs, if in the language: perhaps responsible for the process will shed hard sweat, but the results are always sweet responsibility.

月光透过窗,照在干净的地板上,地板若水镜,倒映出温柔的、皎洁如白玉的月辉。书架上的一本本书,在此刻,化身成为了一个个放哨的小士兵,井然有序地,一丝不苟的站着。是否是因为月光的魔力才让一切变得整洁干净?

谁又能想到,这干净的房间曾是凌乱的“狗窝”?

“房间这么乱,每次帮你整理都要要花费很多时间。”眉头紧锁着的妈妈,边扫地边整理着,甚至有点手忙脚乱。

“我的大小姐,平时你也清理一下房间好不好。”

“哦,我知道了”我有些不耐烦的挥挥手。

一瞬间,老妈突“爆炸”了:“每次都是‘我知道了’,可是你又有哪次做到了呢?简直就是一个大懒鬼!”

听着老妈的话,我也不太高兴,自然是反抗,家庭大战爆发了。

战争结束了,两败俱伤,老妈气呼呼的走了。我也是鼻子发酸,眼眶微红。静默了好一会,我关了灯,准备睡觉。窗户外,皎洁的月光流进房间,浸润在我的身上,湿润如水,给人舒适之感,似在安抚,又似在教导。是啊,如果将房间整理得如月光、如流水般干净,说不定也是件好事。

第二天,完成作业后,我勤快地将书桌上摆得七零八落的资料收拾好。一开始还有些不适应,渐渐地,也不是那么手忙脚乱了。很快,桌子清理好了。课外书是课外书,教科书是教科书,学习用品和娱乐用品都有了它们各自固定的位置。再将散落在床上的衣服叠好,放进衣柜,将书包好好整理好。一切收捡好后,我抹了抹额头上细细细细的汗珠,惊喜地看着整理后的房间,一切都是如此整洁。

老妈进屋给我送苹果的时候,眼底也染上了惊喜,竖起大拇指表扬我。我有些别扭地将头别了过去,嘴角那微微上扬的弧度却溢出了我心底的自豪与喜悦。

夜晚,月色悠悠,似在歌,若在语:或许负责的过程会洒下辛苦的汗水,但是尽责的结果,总是甜的。

篇9:春节活动的英文作文

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China. Christmas cards become popular with students. People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts. A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on. Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing (有吸引力的)to youngsters. Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival.

This worry is fairly unnecessary. Why ?One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians,college students and joint-venture (合资企业)workers. Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic(带有异国情调的)festival. By contrast,the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.

I think,it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West,a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China. For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever.

我读过《鲁滨逊飘流记》、《爱的教育》、《福尔摩斯探索集》……但让我记忆最深刻的还是《荆棘鸟》。

书中有这么一个传说:有一种荆棘鸟,它从一出生开始就有一个使命——寻找荆棘树。就在找到荆棘树的那一刻,它要把自己的身体插入最长最尖的那根刺里,并放声歌唱,那一刻,百灵与夜莺都黯然失色,整个天地都安静下来,连上帝也在苍穹中微笑。直到它唱不出一个音符,反正那个传说是这样的。

之后,我看完了整本书,我的情绪久久不能平静,为何荆棘鸟知道自己是要死去的,还将荆棘插体内,我知道,它是为了完成自己使命,并倒在完成任务之中。

它一生只唱一首歌,并还要把歌奉献给人们,那是一种多么质朴无华、无私奉献的精神啊!我们应该学习荆棘鸟,应该无私奉献着自己的全部,并将自己的一切回报给祖国,回报给社会,回报给自己爱的家园。

没有一种品质比无私奉献更重要,它代表着人类社会的爱。奉献使我们的家园充满爱,让这种品质继续延续下去吧!

From small to large, I have a lot of wishes. What I want most now is that the world will be peace.

Though our Chinese children live in a peaceful area, I know that the world is not peaceful, some places are still in war, and many children are still suffering from the war. Whenever I saw the war on TV, the scene of blood splashing all over the earth was stained with red and clear river. When I saw children running around and homeless everywhere during the war, I cant see it. At this moment, I wish the world to peace! Why those invaders cant give up the greedy desire? Why cant they just for the sake of the future of the children and stop the war? The relentless war swept away their homes, looted their relatives, also swept away their future.

How I hope the world will be able to peace! By that time, everyone has extended the hand of friendship, and everyone is equal and free. No aggressor growl, nor angry rebel, nor callous bombing of the war, everywhere is full of sweet singing of children, how much better to the world! Overweeningly ambitious invaders, as long as you learn to give up, give up ambition and greed, there will be no war in the world, become full of happy world!

I hope my wish will come true.

When people’s consciousness is no longer belong to them, what will happen? Then things are predictable and they don’t feel anything They can’t feel the real happiness and sorrow, then life becomes meaningless.

篇20:香港旅游英文作文

全文共 4109 字

Hong Kong is one of the two special administrative regions (SARs) of the Peoples Republic of China, along with Macau. Comprising more than 260 islands, the territory is located on the eastern side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong province in the north and facing the South China Sea in the east, west and south.

Hong Kong was a Crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of sovereignty to the Peoples Republic of China in 1997. The Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Hong Kong stipulate that Hong Kong will operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least 2047, fifty years after the transfer. Under the policy of "one country, two systems", the Central Peoples Government is responsible for the territorys defence and foreign affairs, while Hong Kong maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy, and delegates to international organizations and events.

Hong Kong is frequently described as a city where East meets West, a meeting reflected in its economic infrastructure, education, legal system and street culture. On one street corner, there may be traditional Chinese shops selling Chinese herbal medicine, Buddhist paraphernalia or bowls of synthetic shark fin soup. But around the next, one may find theatres showing the latest Hollywood blockbuster, a British-style pub, a Catholic Church or Ronald McDonald inviting passer-bys to a Big Mac. The territorys official language is Chinese and English; signs in both languages are omnipresent throughout Hong Kong. The government, police and most workplaces and stores conduct business bilingually. British rule may have ended a decade ago but Western culture is deeply ingrained in Hong Kong and coexists seamlessly with traditional philosophy and practices of the Orient.

Hong Kong has an active nightlife centred on two major entertainment districts, Lan Kwai Fong (Central) and Wan Chai. Both areas are frequented by expatriates and locals alike. For a more quiet evening, a trip to Victoria Peak offers a spectacular view of the city. There is also a promenade along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, which is popular among young Chinese couples. Shopping, a form of entertainment for the people of Hong Kong, is even done at nighttime as evident in the Temple Street Night Market where one can also catch free performances of Peking opera.

The citys cosmopolitan flavour can also be seen in the wide variety of cuisines available. While different varieties of Chinese selections, especially seafood, are most popular, there are also many European, American, Japanese, Korean, and other restaurants. Ethnic dishes served in cha chaan teng and dai pai dong are also popular. The people of Hong Kong take their food seriously and many top chefs make their way to the city to show off their talents to these discerning diners.

While Hong Kong is a global centre of trade, perhaps the citys most famous export is its entertainment industry, particularly in the martial arts genre. Several top-notch Hollywood performers originate from Hong Kong cinema -- Bruce Lee, Chow Yun-Fat, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li and Leslie Cheung, to name a few. Behind the camera, Hong Kong filmmakers have also struck fortune in Hollywood such as John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Tsui Hark and martial arts choreographers who have designed fight scenes in the Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Back in Hong Kong, several homegrown films have also gained international recognition such as Chungking Express, Infernal Affairs, Shaolin Soccer, Rumble in the Bronx and In the Mood for Love. Acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has said hes strongly influenced by Hong Kong action cinema.

The Hong Kong government also supports cultural institutions such as the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Furthermore, the governments Leisure and Cultural Services Department also subsidizes and sponsors the bringing of international performers to Hong Kong.
