the way is difficult,it cant reduce the urgent feeling of going home.I cant

the Christmas in everywhere they like or with anybody.This diversity is
occasioned by different culture between two countries.

the tour guides. They will take you to all the places of interest. They will
tell you stories about the interesting places and help you to learn local
culture. This is called a package tour.

the deck, watching the blue sky, the white cloud and the bright sun, and you

discover the interesting places and know more about the local cultures by

travel. When you have a slow travel, you had better spend at least one week
living in one place, stay with a local family and visit interesting sites near
your living instead of rushing around for a long day to see the must-sees. In
this way, you can make more local friends, taste local food, and know the local
traditions and customs deeper. Only so can you become more knowledgeable and
widen your experience.

篇8:有关压力英语初二
全文共 1492 字
+ 加入清单As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of
relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go
from morning till night,it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for
a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is
no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to
be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose
to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control can it lead to poor
performance and iiihealth. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends
very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such
characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others
lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,
in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make a
choice between "flight or fight"and in more primitive days the choices made the
difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so
extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is
when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that
health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and
heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress
from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find
ways to deal with it.

+ 加入清单A good book not only brings happiness to people, but also comforts; it can
not only make you think deeply, but also enlighten you. A good book is a wise
man, a mentor, a friend, and a partner. My favorite thing is reading.
books also bring me much joy. I remember one time, my mother bought me
"Insects", the book records many insects and their habits. I couldnt put it
down, and when I got home, I picked up the book and read it with interest. When
I read the firefly insect, a beautiful scene immediately appeared in my mind: On
a summer night, I was walking in the park, and at this time, many fireflies were
flying around me. Illuminate the way forward... The more I think about it, the
more excited I am, and I read it more seriously. When I read about ants, an
insect, I couldnt help but be shocked by its unity. Together, ants can move
things that are several times heavier than them. I also feel that we must learn
from the spirit of ants. Reading and reading, I forgot the time. It wasnt until
my mother came to ask me to eat, I reluctantly put down the book and swallowed a
spit, as if swallowing wisdom into my stomach, my heart was still in the
colorful world of insects.
Gorky once said: "I am on books, like hungry people are on bread." Food
feeds only our bodies, and books feed our souls. Books can increase our
knowledge, broaden our horizons, and improve our writing skills; they can bring
us inspiration and happiness. "When the book is used, we hate less", so I think
we need to read more and read more books to make our achievements bloom like
sesame seeds.

means of transport in Chinese cities. Compared with the bike and the car, the

the authorities concerned simplify the procedures and reduce the cost of the
license plate, the motorcycle will be accepted by more people.
篇15:有关交流英语作文初中
全文共 1956 字
+ 加入清单Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must
communicate with other people.
A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by
the simple means of speech.
If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are
likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news
or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of
society.
Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and
during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one
of the dominating factors of contemporary society.
Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,
photography, radio and television.
Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of
communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,
which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.
No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged
minority.
In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed
fortunate, but today there are public libraries.
Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people
sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into
millions of homes.
Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of
information.
The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society
and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and
entertainment.
The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with
informing, educating and entertaining.
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is
very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the
vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.
However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no
turning back.

+ 加入清单The tomb sweeping day is one of the traditional festivals in China. On
April 5th, people start to visit their ancestors’ tombs. Generally speaking,
people will bring the home-made food, some fake money and paper-made mansion to
their ancestors. When they start to honour their ancestor, they will light up
some candles and incense, put some flowers around the tombs. The most important
thing is to put the home-made food in front of the tombs. The food, also known
as sacrifices, is usually made up with a chicken, a fish and some pork. It’s a
symbol of the offspring’s respect to the ancestors. People believe that the
forbears will share the food with them. The children dedicate the food and money
to their forbears in order to show their love and caring. The young offspring
will go down on their knees and pray for their ancestors. They can say their
wishes in front of the tombs and the ancestors will make their dreams come
true.
In some provinces of China, people use different activities to commemorate
this day, for instance, spring-outing, swinging, tree planting and making
special food. One special food is Ay Tsao rice balls. It looks like Tang-yuan,
but its colour is green. Mix the ay tsao juice with the rice powder, then make
it into small balls. The Ay Tsao rice ball is done. People believe that eating
ay tsao rice balls can get rid of the bad luck and everything will go smoothly.
Other activities such as spring outing, tree planting are the other ways to
commemorate the forbears. For one thing, it is a sign that people should look
into the future and embrace the hope; for another thing, we do hope our ancestor
rest in peace.
