+ 加入清单People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.
My preference depends on the purpose of the travel. On a summer vacation I travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. When I use my feet and walk on a grass covered path along a river or among the hills I feel detached from the noise of the city and closer to the nature. And when I travel on foot I get more freedom. I can plan my own schedule. I can choose my own route. I can stop where I like. And I can see things and people that I might miss if I travel on a train or on a bus. net
When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I still favor using my own feet. I get much pleasure from it. People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

He couldn’t get along well with English and disliked joining in English classes because he thought his teacher ignored him on purpose. As a result, his score in each exam never added up to over 60.
His partner was concerned about him very much. She understood exactly what he was suffering from, but entirely disagreed with his idea. In order to calm him down and settle his problem, she talked with him face to face and swapped a series of learning tips with him. The items she set down helped him find the highway to studying English well.

Nowadays, more and more people prefer to travel quite often.By traveling, we not only can relax ourselves but also broaden our knowledge circles.From my aspect, I think we can make many friends and travel with them.
Firstly, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax ourselves.For modern life, we are busy with our work with high pressure.However, when we travel, we will be attracted by great landscape and forget pressure from both work and life.
Secondly, we can make friends by traveling.For most travelers, they tend to find many companions to travel with.If you check the internet, you will find that some people will call others to join them for travel.Through this kind of travel, we can meet many different people and make friends with them to broaden our social circle.
Thirdly, we can learn much knowledge form travel.Before you go to somewhere to travel, generally, you need to make plans for your travel.You can find lots of things you don’t know when you make a plan, such as, the origin of a certain area, the customs of different areas, local food and so on.
In conclusion, we can not only relax ourselves and make new friends but at the same time we can learn much from travel.

现在,越来越多的人会经常去旅游。通过旅游,我们不仅能够放松自己,并且也能开阔我们的视野。在我看来,我们可以在旅游中结识到新朋友和他们结伴同行。
第一,我们能在欣赏风景之余放松自己。现代生活中,我们整天忙于工作,压力很大。但是,当我们旅游的时候,我们会被美景吸引,暂时忘记工作和生活的压力。
第二,在旅游中能够交朋友。对于许多旅游的人来说,喜欢与人结伴同游。如果你到网上搜一搜,你会发现有很多人都会叫其他人加入他们去旅游。通过这种方式的出游,我们能见到各种各样的人,与他们交朋友,扩大我们的交际圈。

However, it happens quite often that people often ran into trafficjams on the way to travel. Some people think that we can relax ourselves bytraveling no matter of how many people there. Some people would rather to stayin home than going out to travel because they think there are too many people swarminto the scenic spots. In my point of view, I would rather to stay indoorsrather than going out to travel. Reasons are listed below.
Firstly, during holiday, so many peopleswarm into the travel spots that we can’t enjoy ourselves to the full. For mostpeople, they want to travel because during holiday, they can have several days torelieve themselves by traveling. However, so many people crowd together willmake their tour lose the original fun.
Secondly, during holiday, price will berising drastically. It is known to all that you need to spend much more to buythings or taking bus or any other transportation since many retailers will raisegoods’ price during this holiday to get fat profits.
All in all, travel during holiday is not agood choice for us since its inconvenience in traveling among a huge crowd ofpeople and also the dramatically high price for goods and transportations willlet us pay extra money.

篇20:旅行去美国的英语
全文共 2112 字
+ 加入清单The Culture of the United States is a Western culture, and has been developing since long before the United States became a country. Today the United States is a diverse and multi-cultural nation.
The types of food served at home vary greatly and depend upon the region of the country and the familys own cultural heritage. Recent immigrants tend to eat food similar to that of their country of origin, and Americanized versions of these cultural foods, such as American Chinese cuisine or Italian-American cuisine often eventually appear. German cuisine also had a profound impact on American cuisine, especially the mid-western cuisine, with potatoes and meat being the most iconic ingredients in both cuisines.Dishes such as the hamburger, pot roast, baked ham and hot dogs are examples of American dishes derived from German cuisine
The primary, although not official, language of the United States is American English. According to the 20xx U.S. Census, more than 97% of Americans can speak English well, and for 81% it is the only language spoken at home. Nearly 30 million native speakers of Spanish also reside in the US. There are more than 300 languages besides English which can claim native speakers in the United States—some of which are spoken by the indigenous peoples (about 150 living languages) and others which were imported by immigrants. American Sign Language, used mainly by the deaf, is also native to the country. Hawaiian is also a language native to the United States, as it is indigenous nowhere else except in the state of Hawaii. Spanish is the second most common language in the United States, and is one of the official languages, and the most widely spoken, in the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
There are four major regional dialects in the United States: northeastern, south, inland north, and midwestern. The Midwestern accent (considered the "standard accent" in the United States, and analogous in some respects to the received pronunciation elsewhere in the English-speaking world) extends from what were once the "Middle Colonies" across the Midwest to the Pacific states.
