介绍家乡食物的英语作文（汇编20篇）

我生活在安徽省六安市的一个小村庄里。那里，鸟语花香，四季如春。唯一的不足之处就是路，路是是家乡的缺陷，家乡的“肿瘤”，是家乡的致命要害！现在，人们正在改造这路，给这路做了“整容”手术，让它变得更美丽！打开记忆的闸门，回忆起之前家乡的路，再细视映入我眼帘的路，不觉呀然一惊，真的是今昔对比呀！路，发生了翻天覆地地变化。

余忆童年时，我和伙伴们一起去学校，经常跟大人地谈论着这路。我清楚地记得，一次我和伙伴们与这漓淋的路顽强斗争，可最后，路是赢家。

后来，路渐渐地有了改善，被一些好心的人铺上了石子。这条石子路只便于人们在雨天行走；待到晴天，车辆飞驰而去，留得尘土飞扬，让我们这些路过的学生都变成了“吸尘器”。岁月在流逝，我在不知不觉中长大。随着年龄的增长，肩上书包的增重，我不再贪恋于步行的乐趣了，反而崇尚骑自行车的享受。原先以为自行车可以帮助我很快捷、很舒服地到学校，可是实在没有想到，与前者步行相比，骑自行车反而更加地使我难受。自行车在这石子路上颠簸，我好几次都摔在这零零落落的石子路上。

前几年，常听人提及修路、修路。修路的工人们修着停着，停着修着，我以为还要修上几年才能完全竣工。可是出乎我的意料，就在今年，通往家乡的路终于修好了！

放眼望去，两座桥梁架起了纵横交错的马路，一副崭新的、和谐的风情画展现在人们的眼前。虽不是富丽堂皇，但是和以前的石子路、泥巴路相比，已是天壤之别。现在我的家乡可算是名副其实地人间仙境了。

如今，我和伙伴们在桥上漫步，同伴意味深长地说：“我爱中国，我感谢中国，我因我是中国人而骄傲，我因中国是我的家而喜悦。”我们不禁会心一笑。是建设幸福中国这个意愿让我的家乡从贫穷走向富饶！

故乡在文昌。苍翠的行廊山下，偎依着一个远离城市喧闹的小山村，放眼望去，静静的小河边，是一排排青砖白瓦的房子和一片片郁郁葱葱的树林。

每年夏天，小河就是我们欢乐的全部！在河里拾起的石头又冰又滑，仔细一看，河里还有小鱼哩！它们摇头摆尾，好不自在。我淌过去，卧在浅浅的水里，手脚并用乱踢乱打。鱼儿们被吓慌了，在水里乱窜，可前面就是阿爸撒的渔网呢。带着收获上了岸，爸爸烧鱼，我换好衣服，捧着一本《上下五千年》奔出家门……

不一会儿，到了我的“秘密丛林”。我像猴子一般，找到一个树丫，在中间坐下来看书，直到眼睛酸胀之后，这才痛快地站起来。前面那片挺拔的竹林是那样的绿，仿佛是一块无瑕的翡翠。黄昏渐至，余晖西下穿过树梢，落下斑斑点点细碎的日影……

家乡的水那么清，家乡的竹林那么绿，家乡的鱼儿那么肥，家乡的人们那么和善！啊，家乡！我赞美你那令人神往的美景、清新的空气、和煦的阳光、温暖的春风。

在古老的“九州之一”的徐州市郊，有一座云龙山，是游览胜地。它虽没有怪石嶙峋的奇峰，没有层峦迭障的山峦，但它却以自己秀丽的风景和众多的文物古迹，吸引着无数游人。

晨曦给山罩上了一层薄薄的轻纱，远处山丘若隐若现，不由使人想起古老的民间传说来：有一年，徐州九十九天不下雨，地干裂了大口子，庄稼枯黄了，人都要渴死了。天上有条小青龙知道了，为了解救徐州人民，它腾云驾雾，私自降了一场大雨、徐州人民得救了。可是玉皇大帝发了怒，把它贬到人间，变成石头，这便是云龙山。”

太阳出来了，金色的阳光给山岭渐渐地脱去了那层轻纱，显露出一幅壮观的景象，莽莽苍苍的云龙山宛如一条蛟龙。一条崎岖的石阶路蜿蜒而上，石阶两旁挺立着松柏，枝繁叶茂，遮天蔽日，形成一条天然的绿色通道。树林里不时传出叽叽喳喳的鸟叫声，沿着这蜿蜒崎岖的通道，即可攀上山顶。

山顶有放鹤亭，它姿态奇丽，有浓郁的古建筑风味。诗人苏东坡与好友张天骥在一起饮酒赋诗，写下了“云龙山下试春衣，放鹤亭前送落辉，一色杏花红十里，君郎归去马如飞”的佳句，流传后世。放鹤亭前花圃内，繁花点点，争芳斗艳，淸香四溢，亭子四周数株千年古柏奇丽壮观，有的象团团烟云，仿佛随时都可飞向蓝天，有的象撑开的雨伞，伸出长臂遮云挡雾……穿过太阳门便到了兴化寺。大雄宝殿倚山而建，前髙数丈，后墙仅三砖高，大佛端坐殿内，金碧辉煌、令人赞叹不已。寺内东厢房里，十八罗汉塑象姿态各异，栩栩如生。有的捋胡须，有的搨扇子，有的仰面朝天，有的闭目养神，有的盘腿而坐，还有的手托顽皮的猴子玩耍……

近看，美丽的徐州尽收眼底，只见那公路纵横，烟囱林立，车水马龙，高楼毗连耸入云端。银光闪的云龙湖明亮如镜，灿烂的阳光仿佛给它镶上一圈金色的花边，宛如姑娘多褶的衣裙。高大的建筑和挺拔和大树倒映在湖中，随着荡漾的碧波，时而聚时而散……暮霭升起，晚风习习，山上奇花异草随风送来缕缕清香。微风好象是母亲的手抚摸着你，阵阵松涛声又象在为你奏出一曲雄壮的交响乐，使人流连忘返，陶醉在人间仙境之中。

I have a lovely little white rabbit. Its hair white as snow, even a hairy are not. From afar, as if wearing a white satin made T-shirt. People look at the oil and love. Especially its two ruby-like eyes and the red flies of the three mouth, it makes it more handsome.

Little white rabbit can be naughty. It is not honest to come to my house for just a month. Whoever teases it, its not catching you, its bite you

Little rabbit is also very greedy. Once again, I pulled back two carpets from the ground to prepare for cooking. The two carrots are big, the water Lingling, let people see will be greedy White rabbit that is to eat it, happy to jump, saliva almost flow into the river. I see it very poor, give it a few pieces, it eat with relish.

If the rabbit is happy, and lively and naughty. Once I was writing homework, the rubber was accidentally cleared by me. The white rabbit will run like a string of arrows, proud to play up.

How much do I like my little white rabbit! It brings fun to my life.

说起我的家乡，他虽然不是名城，但这里也有迷人的景色。

春天，树枝抽出了嫩绿的枝条，小草懒洋洋地睁开眼，花儿们也纷纷盛开了，红的、黄的、蓝的、紫的、千奇百怪，五光十色。花儿们发出阵阵醉人的芳香，引来一大群蝴蝶，蝴蝶在空中翩翩起舞，那景色可真美！

夏天到了，树叶更绿了。清晨，蜜蜂忙着采蜜。午后，知了在树上长鸣。夜晚，蟋蟀在草地上高歌。荷花池里，荷花也开了，荷花是绿的，荷花是淡粉红的，真美啊！

秋天，大雁往南飞一会儿排成人字形，一会儿又排成一字形，天空下是一片金黄色的，树叶也是黄的，农民伯伯在这个季节可乐了，也很忙，因为为他们辛勤的汗水培育的麦子成熟了，他们都忙着割麦子呢！

冬天到了，一颗颗雪花从天上飘落到地上，整个世界一片洁白，雪花是花状的，白白的，一捏在手中就融化成晶莹的小水珠了。

我的家乡真美丽，我爱我的家乡！

我的家乡有许多富有特色的特产，有清甜爽口的芳林马蹄；有鲜嫩多汁的富川脐橙；有肉厚味香的信都红瓜子……然而，我最爱吃的，还得数外酥里嫩的大宁豆腐了。

大宁豆腐可煮、可炒、可焖，可加酱油、可撒辣椒，百吃不腻，美味无穷！传说，这香喷喷的大宁豆腐，还是封建社会时朝廷的贡品呢！其他地方做出来的大宁豆腐，而且味道感觉总是没有当地做出来的纯正，那是因为大宁豆腐必须使用大宁当地的宁江水制作而成，才会别具风味。

大宁豆腐的美味享誉中国，每天都会不断地有厂家购买大宁豆腐，而每年卖了上千万箱大宁豆腐，每个做大宁豆腐的人利润都上万！大宁豆腐使家乡人民走上了致富之路，是他们的大福星呢！有人还从大宁豆腐中吃出了大道理：“焦赤皮肤白玉身，神仙施惠济山民。他乡兄弟多空洞，我以实心待众人。”怎么样，是不是很有趣？快来我的家乡品尝这美味的大宁豆腐吧，保准让你回味无穷！

Everyone:

Hello!

I am a third year master major in automation at ×× University, P. R. China. With tremendous interest in Industrial Engineering, I am writing to apply for acceptance into your Ph.D. graduate program.

Education background

In 1995, I entered the Nanjing University of Science & Technology (NUST) -- widely considered one of the China’s best engineering schools. During the following undergraduate study, my academic records kept distinguished among the whole department. I was granted First Class Prize every semester,In 1999, I got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission test.

At the period of my graduate study, my overall GPA(3.77/4.0) ranked top 5% in the department. In the second semester, I became teacher assistant that is given to talented and matured students only. This year, I won the Acer Scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department, which is the ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university. Presently, I am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of Excellent Graduation Thesis.

Research experience and academic activityWhen a sophomore, I joined the Association of AI Enthusiast and began to narrow down my interest for my future research. With the tool of OpenGL and Matlab, I designed a simulation program for transportation scheduling system. It is now widely used by different research groups in NUST. I assumed and fulfilled a sewage analysis & dispose project for Nanjing sewage treatment plant. This was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.In retrospect, I find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and experience, which has prepared me for the Ph.D. program. My future research interests include: Network Scheduling Problem, Heuristic Algorithm research (especially in GA and Neural network), Supply chain network research, Hybrid system performance analysis with Petri nets and Data Mining.

Thank you!

大家好：

我是××大学一名大三的学生因为对工业工程这个行业的巨大兴趣,我正在申请博士研究生课程。

教育背景

1995,我进入了××大学的科学与技术专业，这是被广泛认为是中国最好的工程学校。在接下来的本科学习期间,我的学术记录在整个专业中一直很杰出。我每学期都被授予头等奖,1999,我有幸进入研究生课程的入学考试。在我的研究生学习期间,我的总平均成绩(3.77 / 4)，在所有的学会说呢过中排名前5。在第二个学期,我成为了老师的助手,这个在我们学校只给有才华和成熟的学生。这一年,我获得了宏碁奖学金，作为唯一的候选人，这是杰出学生赋予我的大学的最高荣誉。目前,我正在准备我的毕业论文,并试图获取优秀的毕业论文的荣誉。

大二的时候，凭着自己的经验和学术研究,我加入了人工智能爱好者协会,并开始缩小我的兴趣我的未来研究。随着OpenGL和Matlab的工具的发展,我设计了一个仿真程序的运输调度系统。现在已经有不同的研究小组在学院广泛应用。我承担并完成了南京市污水处理厂的污水分析处理项目。这是我第一次把一个实验室的想法转换成一个商业产品,回想起来,我发现自己站在坚实的基础上,在理论和经验,这为我准备了博士课程提供了很好的便利。我未来的研究方向包括:网络调度问题的启发式算法的研究(特别是在GA和神经网络),供应链网络的研究,混合动力系统的性能分析与Petri网和数据挖掘。

谢谢大家！

我的家乡是个美丽的地方，绿树茂盛、 花儿飘香。

春天，花儿盛开，蝴蝶蜜蜂都出来采蜜 ，可爱的小燕子也从南方飞了回来。   夏天，阳光明媚，很多人都去公园里的 游泳池游泳，湖里的荷花也绽放了，粉红粉红的， 像是一盏宝莲灯。

秋天，秋风飒爽，红红的枫叶落了下来 ，水果也成熟了，农民都赶着丰收。

冬天，北风呼啸，雪花从天上慢慢的飘 落下来，孩子们在花园里打雪仗、堆雪人、溜 冰，玩得兴致勃勃。

我爱我的家乡，我爱它四季美丽的景色 。

我的家乡在重庆，那里风景优美，景色x人，是个可爱的地方。就让我们一起去领略一下“重庆”的魅力吧！

春天，万物复苏。美丽的玉兰花，樱桃花在春天里尽情的绽放。小草好似千万个禄色的卫士，守护着那些五彩斑斓的花朵。她就像是一朵生命之花，带来生机，种下一颗颗希望的种子。芬芳迷人。

夏天，太阳刚一出来，地上已经着了“火”，一些像云又不是云、像雾又不是雾的灰气，低低地浮在空中，使人觉得闷气。小鸟不知躲藏到什么地方去了；草木都垂头丧气，像是已经奄奄一息；只有那知了，不住地在枝头发出破碎的高叫；真像是在敲锣打鼓替烈日呐喊助威！果树上都结满了香甜的果实，让人见了真是垂涎三尺啊！

秋天，黄叶飘零。落叶就像金黄色的蝴蝶，在秋风中自由自在地飞舞着，给大地铺上了一层金色的地毯。她也是一个丰收的季节。万物成熟，硕果累累，喜上眉梢，乐在心头。橘红滚圆的柿子，挂在树上；金黄硕大的梨果，结满枝头……真是一个诗情画意的季节。

冬天，寒冬腊月。让我想起了那朵朵腊梅花，在冬天只有这一种花才能在冰雪中傲然绽放，虽说他没有绿叶衬托，却比绿叶衬托的花还要精致。一刹那，我想起了一首诗：“偏是社来还社去，年年不见腊梅花。"

我爱家乡的美景，春天是一首儿歌，夏天是一副多彩的画，秋天是一曲丰收的歌，冬天虽然十分寒冷，但他有着无可比拟的希望。

记忆中家乡的四季都美得欢愉，美得丰硕，美得圣洁，美得铭心刻骨。

春——小河

春姑娘迈着轻盈的步伐，一路走来，唤醒了沉睡中的小草，抚摸着诸树的小脑袋，万物都活跃了起来，充满着生机。

河边春风吹过，鸟儿停留在柳枝上，照着河水精心打扮，柳树被鸟儿逗笑了，弯下了腰，枝叶轻轻柔柔地撩拨着河水，河水害了羞，发出“哗哗”的声响，匆匆向远方跑去了，只留下还傻乐着的柳条。小草和竹笋都被河水少女般的声音所唤醒了，个个探出了小脑袋，好奇地看着外面的大千世界。

天空下起了绵绵细雨，像牛毛，欣然地投进了河妈妈的怀抱，可把河妈妈乐得绽出了如花般灿烂的笑容。

夏——黄昏

夏姑娘赶走了春姑娘，迫不及待地主宰了大地。

傍晚，一阵阵凉风和人们撞个满怀，吹的刚劳动完的人们心情舒畅，吹的树叶直发“哗哗哗”的声响，吹的不知名的小草听了什么笑话似的，笑得前仰后合。

渐渐的，渐渐的，一缕红的像火，黄的橙汁般的霞光照在人们的脸上，把农人们的脸映成金色，旁边层层叠叠的云彩，似乎也被这黄昏感染了，白里透紫，紫里透红，红里透黄，仰望天边，就像一幅意境深远的油画。渐渐的，画面里多了摇着蒲扇的乡村人，多了嬉戏的孩童和欢快的小狗，不知何时，月亮也爬上树梢，静静听着孩子们的欢笑声。

秋——田野

秋是一位魔术师，两手轻轻地摆动一下，高粱迎风点头，麦穗弯下了腰，柿子涨红了脸，落叶如舞女般从半空盘旋而下，农民们盼望着，盼望着，收获的季节终于到来了，他们挥舞镰刀，任汗水在喜悦中尽情挥洒，忙得不亦乐乎，原野的上空回荡着他们欢愉的笑声。

冬——雪

雪一片一片地飘了下来，簌簌的，沙沙的，河水拉上了拉链，预防着冬天的寒风，视野里，到处都有白花花的一片，远远看上去圣洁得如梦中世界。

我爱不一样的四季，更爱四季都美丽的家乡。

我的家乡在南京。你是否去过南京你了解南京吗假如你没去过、不了解，就让我来给你们介绍一下吧!

南京的风景名胜区很多，有中山陵、太平天国天王府遗址、梅园新村、孙中山临时大总统办公处、雨花台、明孝陵、明故宫遗址、石头城等。但是，留给我印象最深的还是“中山陵”。中山陵是中国民主革命伟大先躯者孙中山先生的陵墓。

小时侯，妈妈带我去中山陵，我一蹦一跳地把三百九十二层台阶全部爬完后，已是气喘吁吁，大汗淋漓了!在高处远望中山陵，就能看见那连绵起伏的紫金山，也能看见一层层台阶上人山人海。

中山陵每个季节的景象也各不相同。春姑娘来到了中山陵，人们都到这里来欣赏五彩缤纷的梅花，有黄的、白的、粉红的这些梅花给人们带来了许多欢乐。秋姑娘来到了中山陵，人们被这些桂花吸引了。诱人的香气弥漫了中山陵，就像走进了桂花的天地。中山陵是漂亮的。四季的改变，就像一位魔术师，变化着各种美丽的景象，而且总是那么引人注目。

听了我对南京的介绍，你是不是很想来这儿玩儿一玩儿呀!假如动了心，那就赶紧行动吧!
