去美国旅游的英语作文（优秀20篇）

The USA is the third most popular destination in the world, with over 45 million people travelling to the country every year. They’ve got good reason, too – few other places offer such a wide variety of activities, geographical diversity and rich, if brief, history.

America’s major cities buzz with energy and excitement, from cosmopolitan New York City, historic Boston, glamorous Los Angeles and gritty Chicago to extrovert Las Vegas and sultry New Orleans.

Venture out of the urban centres and you’ll find backwater gems full of small-town charm, tucked between miles and miles of open highway and spectacular scenery.

The landscape changes with dizzying speed, from the vast deserts of Nevada to soaring s-topped mountains, lush forests and white-sand beaches.

America is one of the easiest places to travel, whatever your plans. With fantastic transport services and a multitude of resources for tourists, visitors are never far away from high quality and reasonably priced accommodation, or somewhere decent to grab a bite.

[美国概况为题的英语作文

Last week my parents and I went to Europe for a visit. We had a wonderful time there.

It took us about ten hours to fly from Beijing to Budapest, Hungary. And then we visited France, Germany, Italy and other countries. Europe was really beautiful.

The sky was blue, and the sunshine was bright. There were not so many tall buildings there as we had expected. Most of the people there were polite and friendly.

I was glad that when I spoke a little English, they all understood. After we stayed there for half a month, I began to miss my hometown. I couldnt live there for a whole life, though it was beautiful.

To be an American is, as Henry James famously observed, a complex fate. But complexity was that rococo masters stock-in-trade, which may explain why he returned to his native country in 1904 after an absence of more than 20 years. To be sure, he was interested in a Jamesian walk down memory lane, with its full quota of meditative hairsplitting. Yet he also meant to take advantage of his hybrid status as a Europeanized American. I made no scruple, James explains in his introduction, of my conviction that I should understand and should care better and more than the most earnest of visitors, and yet that I should vibrate with more curiosity ... than the pilgrim with the longest list of questions. Vibrate he did, in the ornate and extraordinary periods of his late phase, and the result was a one-of-a-kind travel book, The American Scene.What appalls him the most, though, is the Almighty Dollar, which he perceives as the preliminary American postulate, the very bedrock of New World life: This basis is that of active pecuniary gain and of active pecuniary gain only--that of ones making the conditions so triumphantly pay that the prices, the manners, the other inconveniences, take their place as a friction it is comparatively easy to salve, wounds directly treatable with the wash of gold. Some will argue that the fussbudget author had spent too much time in England, where money remained a dirty word until after the Second World War. Others may find his diagnosis eerily prescient. In any case, The American Scene remains required reading for anybody interested in U.S. history, Henry James, or the incredible evolution of the compound sentence.

ghosts and goblins are more than halloween decorations or costumes for many americans who confessed they believe in the supernatural and returning from the grave。

thirty—seven percent of 2，100 adults questioned in a zogby interactive poll said they think ghosts are real， and 23 percent believe they have been visited by a deceased relative or friend。

even the 22 percent who said they have not had any ghostly experiences themselves know someone who has。

"more than a third of americans have this belief that ghosts do exist，" said a spokesman for zogby， adding that the findings were surprising。

nearly half of those questioned said if they could be a ghost， they would choose to come back as themselves。

but belief in the supernatural is not required to enjoy halloween。 eighty—seven percent of parents said their children would be dressing up for the holiday and 71 percent would be trick—or—treating。

but 41 percent of adults said they were not celebrating halloween， including 12 percent who cited religious reasons。

serial killers were deemed to be the scariest costumes， followed by the walking dead and zombies。

After a brief reunion with our American aunt, we soon embarked on a trip to the east of the United States. Our first stop was New York.

On July 21, we got up at 6:30 am and after more than half an hours drive, we came to Wall Street. There was a bull in the street, and I took many photos with my parents. After that, we went to the Empire State Building and passed through security. Then, lets go through the winding corridor to the elevator, and soon, a delicate elevator will we carry on the 80 layer, through the 80th floor of pictures and words, I understand the process of the Empire State Building construction in the 1830 s, the U.S. government in 400 days time built the 102th floor of the Empire State Building, is a miracle. Were on the 86th floor, and the 86th floor is a sightseeing layer that can get a full view of New York City. Then we went to the met and saw the Egyptian temple, the dunhuang murals, the longyan grottoes and so on

Then we followed the guide to the intrepid America and saw the American space agency NASAs space shuttle.

Finally, we went to times square, but I didnt buy anything I liked.

I love traveling. Traveling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my eyes to the world. Whats more, it refreshes me. You can go to Disneyland and experience what its like to be “a child again!” You can visit one of the “seven wonders of the world,” such as the Grand Canyon and feel the magnificence of nature! You can taste the “magicial” ice water on a glacier, which can help you become more beautiful and make you live longer. Just forget all trifles and burdens that you have in your mind. Experience is a type of living knowledge. Youll be sure to experience many new things when traveling. You dont even need a tour guide if you long for more freedom. Just dont forget to bring your backpack!

Beijing is our capital city which is famous for its long history. Now we have a one-day tour plan for you.

北京是我们的首都，以悠久的历史而闻名。现在我们为你制定了一天的旅游计划。

In the morning, you can start the day at the Great Wall. Its one of the greatest wonders in the world. Its so magnificent that you cant go to Beijing without visiting the Great Wall. At noon, you can go to the Summer Palace. There are so many interesting sites, such as Wanshou Mountain, Kunming Lake, Suzhou Street, and some other ancient palaces. So you can climb Wanshou Mountain first. The view on the top is so wonderful. Next, you can go boating on Kunming Lake, and then, walk on Suzhou Street to enjoy the life of regions south of the Yangtze River. In the afternoon, you can go to have a long walk on Tiananman Square, in order to see the city well, and then you can visit the Palace Museum. There you can see different objects of different periods. They are of great value. In the evening, the Front Gate Walking Street is a good place to go where you can buy various kinds of souvenirs and clothes. Most buildings there have the traditional Chinese styles. Maybe you can know some history of ancient Beijing.

早晨你可以从长城开始新的一天。它是世界上最伟大的奇观之一。太壮观了，壮观到去北京不能不去参观长城。中午，你可以去颐和园。有那么多名胜古迹，如万寿山，昆明湖，苏州街，以及其他的一些古老宫殿。你可以先爬万寿山。山顶的景色是很美丽的。之后你可以去昆明湖划船，然后，走在苏州街来享受长江以南地区的生活。下午，你可以去天安门广场上散步，为了更好的看清楚这个城市，接下来你可以参观故宫博物馆。在那里你可以看到不同时期不同的物体。他们是很有价值的。晚上，前门步行街是一个很好的地方，在那里可以买到各种纪念品和衣服。那里的大多数建筑物都是中国传统风格。也许你可以了解到一些古老的北京城的历史。

Wish you a nice trip.

祝你旅途愉快。

首先爸爸把我和妈妈送到了离我们学校不远的地方，蛇口码头，我们和爸爸告别了后就进大厅排队买票去啦!妈妈要我等他，我就等了一会。买完了票妈妈带我去入境检查，检查完了后我小声的的对妈妈说：“老妈，要等到什么时候呀”!妈妈说一会就好。果然，等了一会，我们就上船了。

半个小时后，我们坐到了香港机场，准备换登机牌，妈妈她们正在托运行礼，我就在旁边玩。玩了一会，我们就去登机口准备登机，过了二小时之后，终于登机了。我托着自己的小行礼箱进了飞机。飞机起飞了，我很高兴的想：“马上要到美国了，可以大开眼界!”轰，飞机离开了跑道，这时我有点累，妈妈说：“你前面有一个电视机。”我说：“咦，真的是。”我就开始看电影。

过了许久，我不耐烦了，我想睡觉，这时已经是晚上了，妈妈说要倒时差，不能睡觉，要睡也只能睡一会儿。过了坚难的15个小时，飞机终于停落在纽约肯尼迪机场，轰轰轰，巨大的响声把我吵醒了，我高兴地说：“终于到了纽约!”下飞机一看，已经是晚上了，我们就直奔酒店休息了。我期待能有一趟精彩的美国之旅!

The Americans are much in love with food. This is part of being American too. Baseball is Americans national pastime1, but whats a ball game without hot dogs, peanuts2 and Cracker Jacks (sweetened popcorn3)? Hollywood is Americas symbol of glamour4 and excitement all over the world, but who would watch a movie in America without asking for an extra large bag of popcorn? And the astronauts took instant orange drink [Tang] with them.

Americans love all kinds of food, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Greek, French, Japanese and many others. The Americans are in fact

“The UN of Food.”

To get familiar with the American eating custom, one must know two things. First, one must know the sequence5 of service. There is something special in terms of the sequence, or order, of dish service in America compared with ours. Here is the order:

1. Aperitif6—a small cup of alcoholic drink to increase ones appetite7. The host or hostess will ask: “Do you like a cup of aperitif?”

2. Hors doeuvre8—some tasty food offered in small quantities at the beginning of a meal.

3. Appetizer —or called starter, it is a small serving of juice, fruit or seafood or something else, at the beginning of a meal, to stimulate9 peoples appetite.

4. Now the main course is under way:

a) Soup—it is usually the first course in a dinner.

b) Fish—it is usually served after the soup and before the entree10 in a formal meal.

c) Entree—the third course of a meal, generally it is made up of a hot meat.

d) Savory11—the last course in a formal meal, it is something pleasant to eat but with a salty rather than sweet taste.

5. Dessert12 —sweet food served toward the end of a meal, usually it is a pudding, chocolate cake, or cheese and biscuits sometimes.

6. Coffee—thats the last stage in a formal present-day European and American dinner. Its served either at table or in the living room.

In a family treatment, the above-mentioned No 1-3 stage may be omitted13, though No 4 is the essential part. And the main course generally includes no more than 5 dishes of nutrient14 food. Ostentation15 is never under consideration.

Another thing to mention is that serving oneself from ones own plate is popular in Europe and America, except for the soup and bread which is taken and enjoyed according to ones need.

The second one we must know about the American eating custom is the taboos at table.

(1) Dont circle your plate with your arm. If you do so, you will become the focus16 of the table. Everyone would wonder: “Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a false message that you dont like the food or something like that.

(2) Dont push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you mean to remind17 the hostess that youve just completed a labor?

(3)Dont lean18 back and announce that “Im through” or “Im stuffed19.” Just put the fork and knife quietly across the plate, thats all.

(4) Dont cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites20 at a time.

(5) Never take huge mouthfuls of anything. Do you mean to show how hungry you are? Dont do that! Be gentlemanlike or ladylike.

(6) Dont crook21 your finger when picking up a cup or glass. That looks too affected22, far from ladylike!

(7) Never wear too much lipstick23 to the table. It may stain the napkins24 and look gaudy25 and embarrassing on the rims26 of the cup or glass.

(8) Its never acceptable to reach across the table for anything (a serving dish, for example). If the item you want is not at hand, simply ask for the nearest person for help, like “Mrs. Smith, would you mind passing me the butter (or a dish)?”

Today, Im a friend of my father and mother line 15 individuals in the van, mighty long visit to Shanghai fengjing ancient town tourism.

Because do not familiar with, please a tour guide, listen to the tour guide said fengjing town water everywhere around, most peoples houses are built around the lake, the house in the town that retain the previous features, roof tiles are made of, the wall is made of wood or stone, here is the most human yes a promenade, about two hundred meters or so, the original designers the corridor design is human nature to the summer without umbrellas, rain and not get wet shoes, brought a lot of convenience to people.

Here to sell most of the are ZhuGeLiangYong things everywhere, such as kongming fan, crossbows, and so on. Clear lake can reflect the reflection of the room, tricycle in narrow alley, willows in the wind like dancing, tourists in fishing, some play in the boat, can be fun.

It grew dark down, we close to home.

今天， 我和爸爸妈妈的朋友一行十五个人乘着两辆面包车，浩浩荡荡的来到上海枫泾古镇旅游区游玩。

由于不熟悉，请了一个导游，听导游说枫泾古镇到处水网遍布，大多数人的房子都沿湖而建，古镇里的房子都保留了以前的特色，屋顶都是用瓦片做的，墙都是用石头或木头做的，这里最有人情味的是的是一条长廊，大约两百米左右，当初设计师把这长廊设计的很有人性化夏天不用撑伞，下雨不会湿鞋，给人们带来了很多方便。

这里到处卖的大多数都是诸葛亮用的东西，比如孔明扇，弩等。清澈的湖能照出屋子的倒影，三轮车在狭窄的弄堂里行驶，杨柳随风摆动像在跳舞，游客在钓鱼，有的在船上嬉戏，可有趣了。

天色渐渐暗了下来，我们依依不舍的回家了。

To Live in an American Family

提纲

1. 留美学生与当地家庭生活在一起既有优点也有不足。

2. 不足之处。

3. 与当地家庭生活在一起的优点远超过其不足。

for the student who wants to improve his english quickly and learn about american customs firsthand, there is often an opportunity to live with an american family. there may be some disadvantages in this arrangement; however, i believe there are far more advantages.

first of all, the disadvantages may include lack of privacy and little opportunity to be independent. they will lose the chance of living on their own. another drawback to living in an american home involves the possibility that the family may treat the student like a child. for eample, the parents may want to decide who his friends should be and where he should go during his leisure time.

even though there may be some disadvantages in living with an american family, the advantage far overweighs them. by taking part in a home-stay program, the student has an ecellent opportunity to learn about american customs. also, he will learn about many other aspects about american way of life, such as the way schools are run in the u nited states. and the family will no doubt make cerlain that he becomes acquainted with this new way of life, and soon he will feel at home.

I hope to go on a trip to Beijing,but my mother always tells me "you cant".She thinks I am too young to go to Beijing,and I am too busy at school.This term is over,To my surprise,my mother will take me to Beijing.I am very excited!Then I have a traveing plan for this trip:firstly I will go to the tiananmen square,I will take many pictures,then I am going to the palace museum,I can see many old builds there.secondly,I am goingto the wangfujing street,we will buy many things,for example,foods,clothes and some books.then I will go home. I think I will have a great trip to Beijing.

Im going to Beijing tomorrow,so now I feel very happy.I will go there by plane and stay there for 10 days.This is my first time to go to Beijing,not only the Olympic Games is coming,but also I can learn more knowledges about the Olympic Games.And it is a great chance for me to communicate with foreigners,so I wont miit.Therefore,now I want to say:Beijing,Im coming!

On July 23rd my parents took me to Beijing. We stayed at YuTingqiao hotel. On the first day, we went to the Great Wall. The Great Wall is very long and old. It has millions of bricks. Each brick is very big and heavy. Lots of people from different countries like climbing the Great Wall. We felt very tired when we climbed to the top of the Great Wall.

We also went to the Palace Museum. The Palace Museum has 9999 palaces. It has a very long history. I bought a lot of souvenirs of the Palace Museum. What nice palaces these are! I visited the Palace Museum and felt excited. If you want to know more about the Palace Museum, you can go to Beijing and have a look.

The following days, we went to the Summer Palace, , North Lake and Xiang Hill. I know more about the history of China. I also like modern Beijing. The 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing. www.oh100.com

Later, I went back with my parents by plane. I really enjoyed the trip to Beijing.

If Sydney is crowned as New York of South Pacific Ocean,then,Melbourne can be said as London here.

This is an ancient city,and meanwhile a beautiful ‘garden city’,streets are orderly paved like chessboard,various buildings of both ancient and modern styles are harmoniously blended,there are quite a few operas and Broadway musicals on show here everyday.

This is also Australia’s residential center for immigrants.Most of the immigrants who flocked into Australia live in Melbourne and Sydney.Immigrants started their new life here but keep their own traditions and customs.Wanna taste Italian food and drinks?Just go to Lygon street.Wanna know Chinese culture?Then visit China Town.In China Town,there are not only Chinese restaurants,but also Malaysian,Thailand and Japanese restaurants,so this is not just a window for you to get to know Chinese people,but a best place to know East Asian people and South East Asian people as well.

Goods sold in China Town are quite unique.You’ll embrace a variety of choices and also reasonable prices,that’s why China Town is so popular among tourists.My companions all came back with large and small shopping bags,and reluctant to leave until they bought too much to carry.

What worth mention,traveling in Melbourne,the most forgettable experience is to watch the homing of the smallest penguins in the world.In a place 140 kilometers south of Melbourne,there’s a tiny island called Philip.Every dusk,groups of penguins stagger back to their home.Their teeter when stepping onto the bank is extremely lovely.
