Great, thats great! At last I was looking forward to the holiday of national day. I can always relax and relax. My parents and I had an early appointment to travel by train during the national day. On this day, I got up early, and when everything was ready, my family set out. When we arrived at the square in front of the train station, it was already a sea of people, and we were crowding the railway station with the endless stream of people.

Into the waiting hall, here is a racket, crowded, we managed to find a space to sit down, I drink slobber, rest for a while, restless eyes began to look around. Not far away, a pair of silver - haired old couple helped each other, slowly sitting on their seats and talking in a small voice. On the other side, a few middle school students were laughing loudly. A tour guide, holding a small flag, is talking to the tourists of the tour group... "Why?" Suddenly, a sound of childish sound attracted me, I looked back, a chubby little girl sat on her mothers lap, "why together and we cant go out and play dad?" The little girl innocent eyes full of doubts, long eyelashes glitter, mother lovingly stroked the girls head, said softly: "your father is a traffic policeman, in order to ensure the safe travel, to the holidays will be more busy, can not go out to play with us." The little girl Sidongfeidong nodded, nestled in her mothers arms. I listened quietly, eyes unconsciously fall in the busy distance from time to time flashed, cleaners are carefully clean the ground, wiping tables and chairs, the policeman is patrols, warily watching the situation around the station staff smiling, patiently answer questions of passengers. It is their hard work that makes our trip safer and more convenient.

This picture, I have been deeply remember in the heart, when we celebrate the holiday with my family, we have to wonder whether this happy, how many people need to work to pay, and the family when we have a joyous gathering, to wonder whether and how many people still insist on work, not and your family reunion? These honorable men, let me say, "thank you!"

太好了，太好了！我终于盼来了国庆节长假，总算可以放松放松了，我和爸爸妈妈早就约好了国庆节期间坐火车去外地旅游。到了这一天，我早早地起了床，一切准备就绪后，我们全家出发了。到达火车站前广场时，那里早已是人山人海，我们随着川流不息的人群挤进了火车站。

走进候车大厅，这里更是人声鼎沸，热闹非凡，我们好不容易才找到空位坐了下来，我喝了口水，休息了一会儿，眼睛开始不安分地四处打量起来。不远处，一对满头银发的老夫妻互相搀扶着，慢慢地坐到座位上，小声地交谈着。另一边，几名中学生在大声地说笑着。一位导游举着小旗子，正在向旅行团的游客们说着什么……。“为什么？”突然，一声稚嫩的童音吸引了我，我回头一看，一个胖乎乎的小女孩儿坐在妈妈腿上，“为什么爸爸不能和我们一起出去玩而呢？”小女孩儿天真无邪的大眼睛充满了疑惑，长长的睫毛忽闪着，妈妈爱怜地抚摸着小女孩儿的头，轻声说道：“你爸爸是一名交通警察，为了保证大家的出行安全，到了节假日会更加忙碌，就不能陪咱们出去玩儿了。”小女孩儿似懂非懂地点点头，依偎在妈妈的怀里。我静静地听着，目光不觉落在了远处不时闪现的忙碌的身影上，清洁工人正在仔细认真地打扫地面，擦拭桌椅，警察叔叔正在四处巡逻，警惕地注视着四周的情况，车站服务人员面带微笑，耐心地解答着旅客的疑问。正是他们的辛勤工作，使我们的出行更加安全、便捷。

这一幅幅画面，都被我深深地牢记在心中，当我们和家人一起欢度国庆假期时，是否想过，我们拥有的这份快乐，需要多少人为之工作，为之付出，当我们和家人欢聚一堂时，是否想过，又有多少人还要坚持工作，不能和家人团圆呢？这些可敬的人啊，让我真诚地说一声：“谢谢您们！”

Yes, the book has good, evil, ugly, beautiful, there are many wonderful stories. I am a "bookworm", little of course not long holiday book this friend!

I read the "scream", was read "Kong Yi several". Although had read this article, under the "scream" atmosphere created by the pathetic and ridiculous Kong Yi few seemed to added a lot of sad color again. Read again the jiashuyuan package ma small jump, humor humor and wit only laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. The book is really a spiritual sustenance!

Voltaire said: "life is movement". Long summer vacation, in order to get my body are sexy, must do more exercise. My favorite sport comes in to play table tennis, I cant miss this good opportunity, ready to go to the gym in the summer vacation "killed" on time, and the real "table tennis" training, learning how to play table tennis, to bring to them, and find their own shortcomings, study hard, strive for table tennis technology has a qualitative leap. I looked at the little yellow ball jumping up and down, although sweating like a pig, but the emergence of say a joy in heart.

The holiday at home, on the Internet is little not. This the "net insect" of course I want to have the addiction. Open the "xiao-he net", see, pack a bag of pleasure, and then to the BBS infuse water, have a post, understand the understanding of novel and interesting. Play tired, close your eyes and listen to a melodious music, let the mind rest for a while, cadence of music, feel the whole people immersed in music, is really a pleasure! Since yue: at any time to hear music, excel living immortal. Clicked on "baidu", hot news immediately appear in the eyes, hey, its so much! The whole country, big and small things immediately show, it is endless! The Internet has a lot of encyclopedic knowledge, I am in the ocean of knowledge, sucking knowledge of nutrition, adding some extracurricular knowledge. Is: rich Internet, holiday good partners.

My ideal life in the summer, may not be one of the most abundant, but is the most suitable for me, I believe that I will have a best, the most meaningful holiday.

丰富多彩的暑假生活，离我们越来越近了，怎样才能过一个充实、有意义的假期吗?我来给你说说我理想中的暑假生活吧!

高尔基曾经说过：“书是人类进步的阶梯”，读书，不仅丰富了知识，而且使人明白人生哲理。是啊，书中有善、恶、丑、美，有许许多多的精彩故事。我是一条“书虫”，漫长的假期当然少不了书这个朋友拉!我准备每天去新华书店看书，校园故事、举世名着、儒家经典、童话故事、侦探故事……我都喜欢。哈哈，暑假里可以大包眼福了。我读名着《呐喊》，正读到《孔乙几》。虽然先前读过此文，但在《呐喊》所营造的气氛下，那个可悲又可笑的孔乙几仿佛又增添了许多凄惨的色彩。又读了《淘气包马小跳》，幽默风趣只笑到肚子疼。书真是精神食粮啊!

伏尔泰说过：“生命在于运动”。漫长的暑假中，为了让我的身体倍儿棒，一定要多做一些运动。我最喜欢的一项运动莫过打乒乓球了，我可不能错过这么好的机会，准备暑假里去体育馆“杀”上一回，和真正的“乒乓球高手”过招，向他们学习学习打乒乓球的要领，并找出自己的不足之处，努力学习，争取让乒乓球技术有质的飞跃。我看着小黄球上下跳跃，虽然汗流浃背，但心里涌现说不出的喜悦。

放假在家，上英特网是少不了。我这条“网虫”当然要过个瘾。打开“小荷网”，看看，包一包眼福，然后到BBS上去灌灌水，发发帖子，了解了解新奇趣事。玩累了，闭上眼睛，听一会儿悠扬的音乐，让思绪休息一会，抑扬顿挫的音乐高低起伏，感觉整个人都沉浸到音乐之中了，真是一种享受啊!自曰：随时聆音乐，赛过活神仙。点开“百度”，热点的新闻报道马上出现在眼前，嘿，真多啊!全国上下大大小小的事情马上呈现眼前，真是数不胜数啊!英特网还有许多百科知识，我就在知识的海洋吮吸着知识的营养，补充一些课外知识。可谓是：丰富英特网，假期好伙伴。

我理想中的暑假生活，也许不是最丰富的，但是是最适合我的，我相信，我会过一个最充实、最有意义的假期。

随着人们生活的提高，交通工具的发达，暑假出游是常事，对于现在的人来说，旅行已经不是奢侈，更多是释放身心压力的好方法。暑假可用去的地方有很多，你都去哪里游玩了呢？

光阴似箭，转眼间，暑假就到了。爸爸妈妈遵守诺言带我去苏杭和上海旅行。同行的还有可爱的雅雯妹妹一家。

上了火车，经过了十几个小时的摇摇晃晃终于来到了杭州，我们马不停蹄的赶到了西湖边，我们游览了花港观鱼、曲院风荷、三潭映月、雷锋塔、河坊街……杭州那灯火辉煌的夜景最为迷人，那里的夜晚让我觉得杭州更加繁华美丽了。

我们游过了杭州的灵隐寺、西塘的古镇、游过了苏州的拙政园，但是最让我记忆犹新的还是上海的世博会。

我们一家凌晨五点出门，我们如愿用偿的拿到了中国馆的预约券，我兴奋极了！我们顶着高温酷暑来到上海世博园，这里热闹非凡、人潮涌涌、人们丝毫没有被三十多度的气温给难住，纷纷的走进这一座座形态各异、主题不同的场馆。

进入了中国馆，我想立马到处转转，但是密密麻麻的人令我吓得马上抓住了妈妈的手，钻进了渐渐移动的人群中。很久很久用后，我开始嘀咕了：“不是拿到了中国馆的预约券了吗？怎么还要一、两个小时啊？我要疯了！我站不住了！”

终于轮到了我们进去了。一副巨大的清明上河图展现在我们的眼前，画里的人儿栩栩如生，我仔细看了看，画中的人走来走去，而且幅度特别大，有打铁的、开酒家的、照看小孩的、赶马的、划船的……最有意思的就是--这副画还分早上和夜晚，画里的人似乎要从画里走出来一样，细微之处令人赞叹不已(电脑制作的)。

上到顶层，小巧的电动汽车，手动的太阳能板、各种古董、彩绘陶俑……从走廊走过，过道旁边那各式各样的画令紧张的人们赏心悦目，最后一个游戏叫寻找春天，是坐车游览，车带我们经历了仿真的春、夏、秋、冬四个节气就到站了。我真为自己做为一名中国人而感到自豪、骄傲！

好！我也不多说了，我相信，我还有许多细微致极的地方没有看到，但是，如果你去了，有了新的发现，就请和我与大家分享分享，交流一下吧！

travel is a very good means of broadening a persons perspective。 it makes you come into contact with different cultures， meet people of different colors and go through peculiar rites and ceremonies。 travelling much， you will not only enrich your knowledge and eperiences， but also be aware of the vastness of nature。

travel may also relieve person of boredom and gloom。 travel brings you enjoyment and attraction。 it gives you a pleasant eperience， which will disperse your boredom and make you forget whatever annoys you。 travel broadens your mind and leaves you good memories。 later， you may go over these memories and enjoy your past eperiences， thus keeping a fresh and sunny mind。

the fields his study， nature was his book。

travelers can choose different modes of transportation which have advantages and disadvantages。 airplanes are the fastest but also the most epensive。 buses and trains are less epensive， but they soon make you feel cramped and uncomfortable。 ships provide you with comfort unless you get seasick。 most people can afford traveling by bicycle， which， although slow， can limber up your muscles and get you closer to nature。

For most people, they will choose to travel during holiday because they

want to relieve themselves from the high pressure of work. However, it happens

quite often that people often ran into traffic jams on the way to travel. Some

people think that we can relax ourselves by traveling no matter of how many

people there.

Some people would rather to stay in home than going out to travel because

they think there are too many people swarm into the scenic spots. In my point of

view, I would rather to stay indoors rather than going out to travel. Reasons

are listed below.

My holiday is very interesting!

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.
