[高考英语作文：给美国朋友的信

On job interviews when first conversing with an individual and when addressing small or

large groups, the first few seconds are critical in setting the tone for how youll be perceived. If she has an annoying regional accent, uses incorrect grammar, has a limited vocabulary, and if she has an irritatingly sharp piercing voice, sounds whiny or bossy or doesnt articulate her words clearly, it s an immediate turn-off. This isnt someone who you would hire or proudly introduce to your friends and business associates. This doesnt mean that everyone should try to sound like a professional actor or broadcaster. All of us have qualities unique to our own way of speaking, our individual voiceprint

as distinctive as our fingerprints. Our voice is very personal and an important part of our identity. Some natural characteristics of our voice may be very appealing.

The idea is to take the voice with which youve been gifted and give it the very best sound that you can. With the right type of practice, by paying attention to the quality of your voice and by knowing how to properly express yourself,you II almost immediately improve your opportunities in job interviews, social situations, in selling, and in azuoweng a meeting or addressing groups of people.

Let s say it again, it all begins with the instrument, your voice. If its sound and quality is flawed and needs improvement, that s where you start. That s what everyone hears whether in casual conversation or in making a major speech to a large audience. Pure vowel sounds, articulation, proper breathing, expressive speaking patterns, a pleasing vocal range, naturalness, all these will make you get twice the result with half the effort.

Today is the New Year’s Day. I have a three-day holiday, so I can go out have fun or stay at home to have a good rest. Today, my parents take me out. We go to the mall. Many things are cheap so my mother buys many. I have a new cloth and a pair of shoes. I am so happy. They are the gifts for the New Year. At night, we have a big dinner outside. The foods are so delicious. Today is a happy day.

With the development of informatization, people have more and more chances to choose the commodities they like. But the more goods exist, the more confusion people feel in choosing one. Therefore, advertisement stands out to take the responsibility for people to choose the products they prefer. But advertising has advantages and disadvantages. Some people are in favor of it, while some are on the contrary. As for me, I’m in the neutral place.

On the one hand, advertisements help people have a better understanding about products. Advertisements always tell people the advantages and functions of the products. People can buy the things they want by reading advertisements. By the way, advertisements are free for consumers. Moreover, advertising is much more interesting than the instructions on the packaging box, because advertisements contain various factors, such as pictures, videos, voice plots and so on. Don’t you think it is a good way for choosing a product?

On the other hand, sometimes advertisements are tempting and deceptive. In order to attract the target customers, the advertiser will fill the content of decorating expressions, regardless of the filthy measures they have taken or the severe damages they may bring about. The advertisements always exaggerate the advantages and functions of the products. As a result, they mislead consumers to buy things that are not deserved.

Teenagers like to computer games so much, some even drop out of the class and they hang around the street， going to the Internet bar, and are immerged themselves in the computer games. As we all known, Internet bar is not a good place for teenagers to come. First, there are all kinds of people in that places.It has been reported that many accidents have happened in the Internet bar, some people have fought each other and then cut people, even people died there. It is so dangerous. Second, as the teenagers are so innocent, they may be seduced by some bad people in the Internet bar, the teenagers may be adducted to other places and never come home again. Internet bar is not a safe place for teenagers, so they should learn protect themselves and stay away from it.

青少年很喜欢玩电脑游戏，一些人甚至旷课，他们在街上到处晃荡，去到网吧里面，沉浸在电脑游戏里面。我们都知道，网吧对于青少年来说不是一个该去的好地方。第一，网吧里面有形形色色的人。据报道，很多事故发生在网吧里面，一些人彼此间打架，然后砍人，甚至有人死掉。这是多么危险啊。第二，青少年相对比较天真，他们可能会在网吧里面收到坏人的诱导，也有可能被坏人绑架到别的地方，永远不能再回家。网吧对于青少年来说不是一个安全的地方，所以他们应该学着保护自己，远离网吧。

前不久，中央电视台“焦点访谈”栏目曾就“中国式过马路”现象进行了不少采访和评论。请用英语写一篇100-120 词的短文，结合自己的所见所闻或亲身经历描述“行人闯红灯”(pedestrians run the red light)引发的若干问题，并就此提出一些解决措施。 注意;短文的开头已给出(不计词数)。

Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena---“Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.______________________

参考范文：

Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena---“Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.

There is a very common phenomenon around us that people just run the light totally ignoring the running vehicles, which can lead to serious consequences. Last week a traffic accident happened near our school, a rushing car knocked down a student who was running the red light. And because of the car’s sudden stop, several cars behind crashed into each other. Of course this caused a terrible traffic jam.

In my opinion, effective measures should be taken to solve the problem. First, we can make good use of the media, such as TV, newspaper, magazine, to raise people’s awareness of obeying the traffic rules and road safety. Second, government must make severe laws to punish people who dare to break the law and run the red light.

优秀作文：

Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena---“Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.

Take one of my experiences for example. It was a Tuesday and it rained cat and dog. There was only a few minutes left for me to go to school on time. I was so hurried that I ignored the red light. It was so dangerous for me that the car hardly hit me seriouly. From then on, I never dare to run the red light. I think it can lead to many problems. There is no doubt that it will not only make the traffic heavier but also lose your own life.

As far as I am concerned, it has profound significance to take actions. For the government, they should make laws and appeal to the importance of safety. For the other people, we should cherish our lives and obey the traffic rules.

Dear George,

How is everythinggoing?

Dear George,

How is everything going?I’m glad to receive your letter, in which you asked about my plan for the coming summer holiday. And now I’m writing to tell you something about it.

To start with, I intend to read some books, ranging from famous Chinese literary works to original English novels. As is known, wide reading contributes to enriching our knowledge and broadening our horizons. Then what I’d like to do is (to) spend more time accompanying my parents by chatting more with them and helping do the housework, which I consider is a good way to repay what they have done for me. Additionally, doing a part-time job during the holiday is also included in my plan because through it, not only can I acquire practical skills, but also the experience will enable me to adapt to the future social life more easily.

Such is my arrangement, and what about yours? Hopefully, you can share it with me. I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

这是我的安排，你的呢？希望你能和我分享。我期待你的答复。

Dear Mike，

Thank you very much for your concern. Last months several places in Beijing were blanketed with thick yellow fog. Everything around disappeared from our sight. Some highways were closed. Traffic jams were commonly seen in the streets. Many people, especially children and seniors, even found it difficult to breathe. As a result, local hospitals were crowded with people who had problems with their noses and lungs. Part of the cause was the dry weather, but the severely damaged environment contributed a lot to this nightmare. Personally I didn’t get any health problems in the haze because I stayed mostly indoors. But to make a significant change we really have to do more to protect our environment. To live a better life we have to push on with the economy, but it wound be meaningless if we have to achieve it at the cost of our breathing air. Regards!

In recent years, people are developing aninseparable relationship with Internet. As is known toall, it is convenient for us to click the mouse whensurfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the works needs.

On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media inour daily life. As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are toomuch addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.

Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain fromoverindulgence. After all，Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiencyof our work rather than shackle us with a chain.

美国之旅作文1

为了让我的寒假生活变的更加丰富多彩，所以家长给我报了一个令我兴奋的冬令营活动“美国东西海岸夏威夷14日主题活动。”

第一天，我们来到了太平洋中最美丽的夏威夷檀岛，首先，我们去参观珍珠港。参观完我的感受是：“珍珠港有珍贵的历史照片及战舰模型的展览馆有关珍珠港历史介绍的图书馆，我们仿佛亲眼看到了日军战舰偷袭珍珠刚的情形及亚利山号被击沉的实况……我也深深的感到和平的珍贵。”

第二天，我们去了玻利尼西亚文化中心，英文是“Polynesian Cultural Center。”这个地方位于本岛的东南方向，夏威夷土著民族共有七个，他们居住的地方分别是：“萨摩亚群岛SAMOA、奥特爱瑞阿群岛AOTEAROA、斐济群岛FIJI、夏威夷群岛HAWAII、玛贵斯群岛MARQUESAS、大溪地群岛TAHITI、东加群岛TONGA”。各岛有自己的语言。在那里我们度过了一个愉快的傍晚。

第三天，我们的主要任务是购物。买一些比较有纪念意义的东西、夏威夷的特产等等。

第四天，我们来到了美国西海岸最适合人类居住的城市——旧金山。英文是“San Francisco”。参观Nasa太空中心、Intel公司总部、感受现代科技的震撼，了解航天知识。

第五天，我们去了许多地方，如：九曲花街、金门大桥、海湾大桥、渔人码头。那九曲花街曲曲折折，而且是个斜坡，车从中间走，行人在两旁。我认为只有车技好的人，才能开过去，否则会发生事故。

这个九曲花街，不就像我们的人生吗?充满了曲折、坎坷，我们只有勇敢的去面对才能克服困难。

我们还欣赏了由德国设计师设计的建于1937年的金门大桥，在欣赏的同时，我又学到了许多知识……

第七天，我们去了美国的政治中心、首都——华盛顿。在那里我们看到美国各大政府机构，白宫、国会山、林肯纪念堂、杰佛逊纪念馆、华盛顿广场、二战、韩战纪念馆，在无声中重温历史。我们还去了航天航空博物馆，看到了航天史的发展历程。走进艺术纪念馆，又细细品味了人类艺术发展的历程……

后来，我们驱车去了纽约。途中，我们遇到了美国百年不遇的大堵车，耽误了许多时间。途中还经过了曾经是钢铁城市的巴尔第摩港、美国第一个都城——费城。直到晚上才到达纽约。

第九天，我们去看了自由女神岛。9月11日已经过去五年之久，但是人们不会忘记恐怖事件给这个国家带来的恶果。废旧钢铁搭建的十字架似乎大声地呼喊着和平。华尔街的拥挤、铜牛旁的人群、洛克斐勒广场的人头攒动，让我感到了经济大都会的繁荣。

法国在美国独立100周年时赠送的自由女神毅然伫立在岛上，我们乘船观望她的雄姿。我们还步入了联合国总部大楼，亲临为世界和平作出贡献的环境……

第十一天，是最令我兴奋的一天，我们来到了洛杉矶。驱车前往已经有五十一年历史的迪斯尼游乐园，在这里我和米老鼠近距离接触并合影留念。我和几个同学一起在这里玩耍，乘坐雪山滑车、过山车、漫游小人国历险，在古老的故事里感受现代的科技组合，我们天真的笑声荡漾在迪斯尼游乐园的高空。

第十二天，我去了好莱坞明星大道、奥斯卡金奖的颁发地、中国大戏院。遥望了好莱坞全景。好莱坞影城具有时代的高科技，我们回顾世界顶级大片拍摄的实地现场感受高科技给人带来的巨大财富和精神享受。

第十四天，我们乘坐飞机回到了小别的故乡首都——北京。

假如我在美国作文2

我正非常舒服的睡在床上，做着一个梦：我正吃一个冰激凌，突然，冰激凌掉进了悬崖中，我一失足，也跟住一起掉了进去。

一阵眩晕过后，我昏沉沉的想：我正哪儿啊?难道是一个60年代的国家，我穿越了?我真的穿越了?!随即映入眼帘的是一排排葱翠的树木整整齐齐的排列着，远处有一个大牌子写着：“Wellcom to Amer——”我惊叫道：“天啊!我梦寐以求的美国啊!”地道的美式英语和好吃的风味烧牛排，还有一窜窜复古的衣服——太好了!终于到美国了!我太幸运了!我满心欢喜的踩在柔软的泥土上，扑面而来的清新空气让我感到舒适无比。我走在街上，看到一些黑皮肤的人，他们却用非常惧怕的眼神扫了我一眼，迅速逃开了，这是怎么回事?我奇怪的自言自语。“不管了，反正好不容易到美国，我就当一回旅行者，饱览饱览异国风情吧!

我一边走着，一边哼着歌。我走进一家餐厅，香浓的烤牛排味令我无法呼吸，我的视线不禁往前挪，贪婪的看着周围的一切。很多人，他们衣着华丽。我慢慢的咽着可口的牛排，一边回想起那群黑皮肤人，等等，我好想联想到了什么，充满幸福感的瞬间立刻消失的无影无踪，原本温暖的目光也变得严肃，我充满厌恶的看了看那些白人。正好，这时餐厅外出现了一对黑人母女，他们手里紧紧握着三十美元，这刚好可以买一份小号牛排，我本以为他们会理直气壮地进来像常人一样点牛排吃，可是，事情却与我想象的相反。

这对母女先是小心翼翼的透过玻璃朝内探望，随即低着头，把腰弯了九十度快速走过来，我看到，黑人母亲的脸上滚下了一串晶莹的泪珠，她把小女孩紧紧搂在怀里，生怕她出事似的，”扑通“一声跪在了门槛上，她们哭泣着哀求道：”善良的主啊!我们实在饿得没有力气了，就让我们母女，不不不，让我们这些贱民吃一些肉，不不不，让我们闻闻吧!“黑人母亲双手撑在地上，不断磕头，有一些人仍有说有笑，而有些，则一挥手：”无耻的贱民，你们不配来这儿!这里是贵族的游乐场所——“话没说完，我愤怒的一拍桌子，怒吼道：”为什么，为什么，黑人不能进来，黑人也是人，甚至比你们白人还优秀，人人都该平等!“说完，我扶起那对母女，并为她们点了一份牛排，我把手伸过去，可这时，有个白人说：”你怎么可能帮她们!“我的愤怒再一次被激起，我严肃的说：”因为她们也是人，我们应该爱他们，把她们当做白人对待，难道看人只能看肤色吗?这个世界不应该有种族歧视，不应该排斥她们，应该倡导人人和平相处，这样生活才更美好。“这些话显然起了一点作用，那些白人的眼神由惊讶变成愤怒，她们飞快的交流着，终于一个白人站出来：”妹妹，我们不想用武力解决这个问题，歧视黑人，我们开始也不想，但迫于政府等各种权贵压迫，我们不得不——所以，我们不可能短时间内接受你的想法，这对母女你们仅此一次破例与我们共餐。“那些白人眼神黯淡下来，低头吃牛排，心里有许多复杂的事，种族歧视，似乎不那么简单——

我走着，前面有一个草地，我走过去，睡着了。

”啪——“我又回到了现代，睡在床上的我一个激灵醒了，我望着蒙蒙亮的天空，再次回忆着——

经过了13小时的长途飞行，我们乘飞机来到了美国第二大城市——洛杉矶(Los Angeles)。车子从机场开往城里，一路上洛杉矶给我的第一印象就是整个城市几乎看不到高楼大厦，所有的房子都是矮平房或两三层的，不愧是传说中的“趴下来的城市”。

为了倒时差，午饭后，我们直接开始游玩。第一站来到好莱坞最著名的制片厂之一的“环球影城”。“环球影城”是以大量出产恐怖片和科幻片著称的。4D电影《史莱克3》第一个吸引我们。“啊——嚏!”突然史莱克打个一个打喷嚏，虽然戴了立体眼镜，还是搞得我脸上全是他的“口水”“鼻涕”，所有人笑了;突然，一群蜘蛛从树上掉下来，爬到我的脚边身后，让我乱起鸡皮疙瘩——原来都是利用喷气和喷水制造的效果!之后我们徒步穿越一个真人+声光效果制造恐怖的鬼屋，真的把我吓得半死!最后排队参加观光车环城的电影奇幻旅行。看到许多逼真的恐怖和科幻场景，以小见大和真枪实弹的电影特效，比如：喷着火燃烧的翻车，从水中突然跃起攻击我们的“大白鲨”，被洪水冲垮淹没的地铁站等等。我还了解到了突然闪电下雨导致山洪暴发，以及飞机失事等灾难的电影特效是怎样制造出来的，真的是大开眼界啊!这是我在其他地方都从来没有看到体验到过的。

早就听说拉斯维加斯(Las Vegas)是个赌城，有很多的高级饭店和赌场。因为是个沙漠城市，拉斯维加斯夏天的气温常常高于40摄氏度，所以，拉斯维加斯才会有那么多的室内休闲活动场所，包括赌场，希望人们都留在室内玩。今天我们一早就搭乘车子开往赌场去见识见识。

途中，我们在著名的棕榈城小镇停歇，去奥特莱斯购物。这里很大，东西也很多，可就是太热!

晚上终于到了拉斯维加斯，吃过饭，我们去看了场逼真的火山喷发表演，热热的熔岩喷出，红红的火也烧的高高的，连水都是烫烫的……换一个酒店，又看了长真人表演的海盗秀，真的有大炮打出了，火把门都烧了，船的桅杆被轰断掉，大船也被打沉了……非常紧张。可是后来导游才跟我们说这些不同的表演都是高级酒店们免费提供的，就是为公益和吸引人气。这里的高级酒店可真是多啊!个个都金碧辉煌，而且还都有自己的特点和主题。听导游说世界顶尖的10家酒店有7家就在拉斯维加斯!

来美国的第三天，我们去举世闻名的美国大峡谷。大峡谷其实的平地裂开来形成峡谷。它横跨四个州，我们去的只是亚利桑那州的那一段的南峡，从拉斯维加斯开过去大约四百多公里。

途中路过美国最著名的水利工程——胡夫水坝后，我们经历了一个小插曲：一辆看不出是警车的警车示意我们的车子停下来，导游有点慌张的下车，我们全都不知道是怎么回事。原来，我们的车子前面有一段路超速了，可是爸爸和叔叔都分别被叫下车去接受“盘问”，再原来，警察叔叔还在怀疑我们乘坐了黑车，要排除嫌疑，也是对我们负责。最后，警察叔叔给了我们导游一个“warning”，爸爸和叔叔还和帅哥警察合了影，我们被放行了。紧张过后觉得还挺刺激的。

一路看到很炎热的隔壁和秃秃的山，突然，眼前一片绿绿葱葱，原来，是“大峡谷——国家公园”到了。哇，真壮观呀!平地裂开的大口子，岩石像台阶一样一层层地的往下铺;蜿蜿蜒蜒的，根本望不到头;在正午的太阳照射下，不同地方的不同形状的岩石反射出不同的颜色，有深红色，有暗黄色，有粉红色，有灰紫色……导游还告诉我么，这大峡谷南峡部分最宽的地方要有18英里(1英里≈1.6公里)呢!这种大峡谷地貌是我从来都没有见过的。

拉斯维加斯和大峡谷的天气都很热，可是奇怪的是我几乎没出汗!

今天早上，我们5点多就起床了，目的只有一个——赶飞机。我们搭乘的是UA(美联航——美国联邦航空公司)拉斯维加斯—旧金山8：20的飞机，可是，已经晚点了半个多小时登机过后，我们又在飞机上干坐了近两个小时的时间还不起飞。我急了。妈妈说广播里通告的原因是旧金山当地雾太大了，飞机不能冒险飞过去。我更急了。可是，据我观察，飞机上的美国当地人完全没有慌张和着急的样子。

终于，飞机12 点多抵达了位于北加州的旧金山国际机场。导游为我们介绍，圣弗朗西斯科也叫三藩市，华人称“旧金山”是美国著名的“雾都”和“山城”。它三面临海，有很多高高低低的山，并且超过90%的房屋都建在山坡上，有的坡甚至超过45°，整个城市给人感觉像中国的重庆;因为水汽很重，气温不高(今天最高只有22°左右)这里不管晴天雨天、夏天冬天，每天早上9点之前雾绝对不会散去，只是有时浓有时淡而已——难怪美国当地人人和来过这里的人都不会奇怪大雾会延误飞机了!

我们坐车看了看有名的开放的“同性恋街区”、旧金山市政厅，还有早就在杂志和其他图片上看到过的金门大桥。金门大桥是世界上第一座悬索桥，还是一座跨海大桥，后来世界上出现非常多同原理的大桥，像南浦大桥、青马大桥等等。金门大桥被涂成“国际橘黄色”(注意：是国际橘黄色不是红色哦!)，是因为建造这座桥是考虑当地常常雾太大，又是通往城外的唯一通道，怕汽车通过时看不清，而国际橘黄色是颜色中可见性和穿透力最强的颜色。所以，这个鲜艳的颜色成为了金门大桥的标志。

晚上我们在著名的“渔人码头”吃螃蟹大餐。妈妈说，真美味!

坐了一个多小时的车，我们到达了美国的“酒乡”纳帕。一路都是灰蒙蒙的天和枯黄黄的山(导游说旧金山就是因为这个地方到处都是长满黄草的山，看起来像金山才叫旧金山的)，可是进入纳帕后马上像换了一块天一样，晴天!这里的气候太阳天多，温差大，好的气候才能产出好的葡萄，好多葡萄才能酿出好酒。

我们选择了一家1885年建立的家族式酒庄参观。很大的酒窖里有很多装酒的橡木桶和制酒的工具，还有小型的博物馆。橡木桶据说都是手工扎的，可是为什么它会这么多年也不会漏和坏掉呢?接着我们去纪念品商店里买好吃好玩的，妈妈买些奶酪和烧烤酱什么的，爸爸还品尝了绝对正宗的产地葡萄酒。我也学到了一点小常识：用来酿酒的葡萄其实不好吃，酸得很!

今天早上，我出发到世界闻名的斯坦福大学。大学周围的环境真好，行人特别的少。整个大学是没有围墙，完全开放式的。我们参观了校园的主要部分，还在著名的“胡夫塔”(美国总统胡夫就是从这里毕业的)前合影留念。斯坦福在最新的美国高校综合排名是第六，爸爸说让我先见识一下自己未来的大学，看看是否喜欢——我知道，他也一定希望我能加油努力考取这所名校。

“十七英里海滨公园(seventeen miles drive)”我之前完全没有听说过，看完斯坦福大学，我们来到公园。导游说让我们看看真正美国富豪的度假区，幢幢都是豪宅!海滨公园有一大片森林，许多小动物出没里面;有十几个大大小小的高尔夫球场;还有很多海豹和海鸟的私家海滩。

之后，我们开车上了5号公路(Fifth Highway)，我们将在这条公路上往洛杉矶开。开了大约两个小时，就在离洛杉矶还有100英里的地方，突然我们听见很响的类似枪声的爆炸声，马上感到我们屁股下面“突突”地震起来，我的第一意识就是爆胎了!果然，导游很沉着地把车停靠在路边，下车一看，我们车子的右后轮胎炸得不成样子，路上还有好多被炸飞出去的轮胎碎片。我们车子上虽然有备胎，但没有找到工具，更糟糕的是，排气管居然被卷进轮胎和轮胎罩之间，卡住了。导游不停地打救援电话，烈日炎炎下，我们等了又等，始终没有看到救援拖车。爸爸和叔叔都有点不耐烦了，但还是一直帮坐着和站在草丛中的我们小朋友遮挡太阳。我们每个人的脸都晒得通红，妈妈一直担心我们会中暑。我的心里也在想：这美国人的救援速度怎么那么慢?完全低效率嘛。就在我们正在拨打911电话求救的时候，救援车真的到了。这时已经是下午6点，也就是我们在太阳下面烤了足足3半小时!救援车司机拿出工具，三下五除二就把备胎换好了，排气管也弄直了，这样就算好了，可以开了。我们跟他道了谢，继续上路。两个多小时后，我们终于狼狈地抵达洛杉矶。

你知道沃特·迪士尼吗?他就是米老鼠的爸爸，迪士尼乐园的创始人。让我们回到1955年……一位朋友对他说：“这么大的地方，还没有一个真正的乐园呢。你有钱，就建一个吧。”于是，迪士尼乐园就这样被慷慨和有远见地产生了。我们今天去的迪士尼乐园是全球第一个迪斯尼乐园，建于1955年，所以比较小。在迪士尼先生的铜像前合影后，我们开始了洛杉矶迪士尼乐园的冒险之旅。惊险刺激的激流勇进、有点阴森可怕的印第安琼斯(这可是这家迪士尼乐园的第一招牌呢)、新奇的鸟儿天地，我们在乐园里玩的很开心，还在“明日世界”里考取了自己的汽车驾照呢!

我已经去过香港的迪士尼，也去过日本东京的迪士尼，相比之下这个已经有55年历史的乐园，可还真是一点不陈旧不落后!

圣迭戈(San Diego)是美国南部的边境城市，它拥有美国最大的海洋世界，还是美国最大的军港——这点让我很向往。早上，我们就向着圣迭戈出发了。在这个最大的海洋世界里，我看到了从未真正看到过的白鲸、白海豚、海象等等海洋动物，以及海底丰富多彩的鱼类、珊瑚和其他生物。看过了海洋世界，我们来到军港。

远远就能看到停在码头的已经退役41号“中途岛号”，和现役的68和74号航空母舰以及大大小小的许多军舰，港边还有一个好大好大的雕塑，名叫“胜利之吻”。据说是二战同盟国取得胜利后，凯旋回家的士兵在刚下船的码头就与爱人热吻庆祝胜利和生还。战争真叫人害怕。我们乘船绕着整个海湾参观了一圈，很近距离的靠近一排的军舰，有登陆舰、驱逐舰、另外还有一些我不知名的军舰都整齐地停靠在港湾，可以清楚地看到站在舰艇上站岗的美国大兵!

墨西哥边境小城蒂华纳与圣迭戈就一个界碑划开来。我们过境到墨西哥去转转，在美墨界碑前合影。明显地感觉墨西哥和美国这两个国家的差距很大：一个严格地汽车让行人，规规矩矩看红绿灯过马路，一个人行红绿灯就像摆设;一个整齐干净，一个乱哄哄的。也许这就是人的素质不一样造成的吧。所以才会有这么多的墨西哥人往美国挤。

告别的日子终于到了，我们就要回家了。再见了，美国。

在机场，我们跟导游照了相，告了别，谢谢她，登上飞机，离开了美国。

从飞机窗向外看，都是蓝天白云的，跟中国一样，都很美。

点评：这篇日记描绘了一幅美丽的“美国旅行”图。小作者善用比喻、拟人等修辞手法，生动形象地向我们展示了美国几个重点城市的场景，一词一句中我们不难感受到小作者对美国的喜爱之情!

导语：酒后驾车引起的惨痛教训并不少见。酒能助兴,也能坏事。为了他人与自己的健康，切不可酒驾，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Nobody could have failed to notice the fact that drunk driving has become a grave problem in China in the past few years. Reports are often heard about deaths and injuries resulting from drunk driving. Actually, the phenomenon has been so widespread that it has caused nationwide concern.

A number of factors might have led to this problem, but the following are the critical ones. First, as a nation known for wine and drinking, Chinese have the custom of urging guests to drink more and regard it as a sign of hospitality. Some even encourage

drivers to drink. Secondly, the boom of Chinese economy in the past decades has brought along a sharp increase in the number of private cars in this country. However, many drivers are not fully aware of the danger of driving after drinking. Last but not least, laws and regulations regarding drunk driving were not severe enough in the past.

To our relief, we can see pertinent laws and regulations have been worked out and enforced to punish those who drive after drinking. However, I believe that more can be done to eliminate drunk driving. For one thing, severer laws can be made and put

into effect. For another, the public should be educated about the harmfulness of drunk driving and the importance of traffic safety.

没有人能有没有注意到这些年来有酒后驾车的事实，过去几年中国在成为一个严重的问题研究。报告常常听到人死亡，酒后驾驶造成的伤害。其实，这种现象已非常普遍，它已引起全社会的关注。一个因素可能导致对这个问题，但下面的是关键的。首先，作为一个国家和饮用葡萄酒的认识，中国有热情好客的习俗，敦促客人喝越来越多的方面，它作为一种标志。有些人甚至鼓励司机喝酒。其次，几十年来蓬勃发展的中国经济在过去一直沿着这个国家带来了急剧增加的私家车的数量。然而，很多司机都没有完全意识到饮酒后驾驶的危险。最后但并非最不重要，法律和法规酒后驾车并没有严重到足以在过去。为了我们的救援，我们可以看到有关法律，法规已制定并执行，以惩罚那些酒后驾驶谁后。不过，我相信可以做得更多，以消除酒后驾车。一方面，严厉的法律和效果，可投入。另一方面，要教育市民对酒后驾驶的危害性和安全交通的重要性。

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of

rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of

the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep

springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the

appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60

more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old

by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of

wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of

living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station;

so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and

from the infinite, so long as you are young.

When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of

cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as

long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may

die young at 80.

译文：

青春

青春不是年华，而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。

、

一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

When it comes to honesty, quite a lot of people believe it is essential to a person’s character and success.

They base their idea on the following reasons: on one hand, successful business owes much to mutual trust; on another hand, great people in history such as Abraham Lincoln and Genete Washington set us good examples of being honest, they are great because they are honest.

But some people think differently. They believe honesty is becoming out of date.

Their reasons run as following: to begin with, cheating on exams is becoming more and more popular; in addition, some singers and movie stars cheat on taxes; last but not the least, if you are not careful enough, you’ll buy some defective goods and fake products.

It is high time we emphasized and encouraged honesty. We can take effective measures to restore it.

For example, kids should be taught to tell truth, strict rules and regulations should be carried out to stop cheatings on exams and taxes, etc.

Aducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.

In some modern countries it has been fashionable to think that free education for all can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough.We find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refusing to do what they think is "low"work, and. in fact, working with ones hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.

But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor~ we can live without education,but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.

In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work is suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

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.

Different people have different views on success. Some hold that making a great deal of money means success. Others argue that holding an important post in the government means success. Still others believe that having a high academic title at a famous university or a research institute means success.

In my opinion, success means brilliant achievement in our work. In other words, no matter what we do, making outstanding contributions to the development of our country and bringing help and happiness to others is success.

To achieve success, we should, first of all, have a clear long-term goal in our life. Besides, we should have short term goals in different periods of life. As we know, it is these short term goals that make our long-term goal possible. Second, we should be both perseverant and hardworking. Whatever we do, there are always two possibilities: success and failure. We should never lose heart when we come across difficulties or when we are confronted with failure. Instead, we should learn from our experience, build up our confidence and work even harder and smarter towards our purpose. Third, we should follow the examples of those who are successful and learn from them. Finally, we should try to get along well with our classmates and colleagues. We should care for each other and help each other in our study, our work and our life, because team work is of great importance in the realization of our dream.

If we can follow these principles, we will certainly achieve remarkable success in our life.
