英语老师,我要向您诉说一件事。这件事一会埋藏在我的心底。

那是去年的一天上午,到了7点整,闹钟便“叮一叮”的催促我快快起床去上英语补习班,我只好不情愿地离开小被窝。一切准备就绪后,我刚要出门肚子便痛了起来,我立即走进了厕所,过了好一会儿我才出来,这是一看时钟,天啊!还有几分钟就要上课了!我大惊失色,以最快的速度赶往补习学校,可还是迟到了……

当我轻轻地推开教师门时,同学们的目光“刷”一下子全移到了我身上,我的脸顿时一阵红,一阵白。在看到老师利箭般的严厉目光投向了我,我更是有口难言,只好硬着头皮回座位。过了一会儿,老师发了一张练习卷让我们做,我很快完成了所有题目。这时,坐在我后面的马陈翼向我发出了“求救信号”,我连理都不理他,他见我无动于衷,便再三哀求,我转过头刚想回绝他,却被老师发现了,您把我批评了一顿……说我跟他学坏。

When you come to xi an, you will see the world-famous walls. As I reached the foot of the wall, I looked up and saw that the Great Wall was like a warrior of a full-body armor, guarding the ancient city.

Xi an has a variety of delicacies. Walking back in the street, you can taste the delicious meat, bread in the soup, oil chili sauce... Guests can fill their mouths.

Xi an is also a tourist attraction. My favorite is the big wild goose pagoda music fountain plaza. On the night of the summer, when you come here, you will see countless springs of water, in the sound of music, in the light of the colors of the light, and dancing to the beat of the beat. Sometimes like flowers, sometimes like willow... I am barefoot and jump into the water, the pearl drops on my body, very cool!

I love the old xi an!

西安有各种各样的美食。走在回民街,你能够品尝到好吃的肉夹馍、羊肉泡馍、油泼辣子面……客人们可以大饱口福。

西安还是一个旅游胜地。我最爱去的是大雁塔音乐喷泉广场。夏日的夜晚,来到这里,你会看见无数的泉眼,在动听的音乐声中,在五光十色的灯光下,合着节拍偏偏起舞。有时像绽开的花儿,有时像垂下的杨柳……我光着脚丫,跳向水中,那珍珠般的水珠洒落在我的身上,甚是凉爽!

Everyone should walk. This makes the place very quiet so that music played by the violin or the piano can be heard here and there. It is the famous "Home of Music".

介绍厦门鼓浪屿的英语作文三

Gulangyu, separated from Xiamen by the 500-metre-wide Egret River, with an area of 1.77 square kilometres, enjoys a lauditory title Garden on the Sea. The original name of the islet was Yuan Zhou Zi. In the Ming Dynasty it was renamed Gulang, meaning drum waves, because the holes in the southwestern reefs hit by the waves make sounds like the drum beating.

Overlapping peaks foil the blue water, white clouds, green trees and bright flowers. The air in the islet is fresh. The entire place is free from any sorts of vehicles and is particularly quiet. All these render an atmosphere of a fairyland.

The roar of the waves breaks on the rocks. Impressive melodies surrounding and lingering on this island make famous for its piano-laden past. As a place of residence for Westerners during Xiamens colonial past, Gulangyu is famous for its architecture and for being home to Chinas largest piano museum. It is known as the piano island because people here love the piano. As early as 1913, students in schools run by foreigners started learning the piano. The enthusiasm for music later spread to more ordinary people on the island. Many piano families have since then come into being and produced accomplished musicians. And the number of the pianos possessed is in the leading place in the nation, though there is only a population of 20,000 people.

No tourist can afford to miss one attraction located on the island —— the nations largest piano museum. Divided into two exhibition halls, the museum guides visitors through a vivid history of the instrument with displays and illustrations. All different types of pianos such as miniature pianos, automatic pianos, accordion pianos and round-shaped pianos, are on display.

The architecture in the islet varies greatly in style, Chinese and foreign. Thus the islet has a laudatory title the World Architecture Museum Covered in green all the year round, its charming, elegant, secluded and serene. A great variety of villas stand shrouded by lush wood resembling numerous jadeites embellished upon a piece of verdant silk brocade. Hundreds of flowers grown on the Riguang Rock (Sunlight Rock) vie with one another for beauty. With the caressing sea breeze, its a quite cool place in hot summer. At the foot of the rock, theres the Memorial Hall to honor the national Hero Zheng Chenggong.

Today, Gulangyu is listed as one of the nations major scenic spots. The main sites of interest here include the Sunlit Rock, Shuzhuang Park, Gangzihou Bathing Beach and Memorial Hall to Zheng Chenggong, which are visited annually by millions of people from all parts of the country and the world. For people living in the hustle and bustle of todays metropolis, citizens on this island seem to live in a paradise with a relaxing, healthy and placid lifestyle. Find more in our detailed introduction of the major attractions in Gulangyu Tourist Area.
