Travelling much， you will not only enrich your knowledge and experiences， but also be aware of the vastness of nature.
Travel may also relieve person of boredom and gloom. Travel brings you enjoyment and attraction. It gives you a pleasant experience， which will disperse your boredom and make you forget whatever annoys you. Travel broadens your mind and leaves you good memories. Later， you may go over these memories and enjoy your past experiences， thus keeping a fresh and sunny mind.
文章二：旅游英语作文
The field's his study， nature was his book.
Travelers can choose different modes of transportation which have advantages and disadvantages. Airplanes are the fastest but also the most expensive. Buses and trains are less expensive， but they soon make you feel cramped and uncomfortable. Ships provide you with comfort unless you get seasick. Most people can afford traveling by bicycle， which， although slow， can limber up your muscles and get you closer to nature.
文章三：关于旅游的英语作文
I love traveling. Traveling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my eyes to the world. What's more, it refreshes me. You can go to Disneyland and experience what it's 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. You'll be sure to experience many new things when traveling. You don't even need a tour guide if you long for more freedom. Just don't forget to bring your backpack!

This kind of things happened in China more often than any other countries. What can we do to prevent those actions? Though we have advocate education of the tourists for years, the situation was not better than be imagined. In my opinion, we still have to encourage the education of our tourists, but with some change. For example, we should not only disseminate “Don’t Do Sth.”, but also with the reason and an explanation that it is not cool to sign names or words everywhere, in the contrary, we have to ashamed of that. Make a comparison between foreigners and us can also increase our consciousness.

2、7天长假好吗 （旅游途中人满为患的拥堵等）？{旅游经历英语作文}.
Some people can use the seven days reading books or studying, and you know when they are working, they don't have time to do it.
Since most people don't have other vacation time, everybody is travelling during the week-long holidays, so at the beginning and the end of the holidays, place such like airports, train station, long-distance bus station are often over-crowd, for example, in last labor day holiday i went to beach. I want to enjoy the beauty of the seashores and was planning to swim, but when I reached the long-distance bus station, I found that people were everywhere. I swore I would never go travelling in a week-long holiday again.
3、自助游还是报团游
With people's living standard raised more and more in the recent years, they tend to choose travelling in their spare time. Some people like to choose package tour, while others prefer independent tour.
Actually, both package tour and independent tour have their own advantages and disadvantages, which is largely dependent on people's time, money, and the number of people who plan to be on a tour.
As for me, I am in favor of package tour, because the travel agency will help me arrange for anything about the tour, including the tickets for the train or airplane, for hotels, and for sightseeing. And what I should do is just enjoy the whole journey without worrying about the details.

篇五:《高考英语话题作文导与练—观光旅游》
观 光 旅 游
观光旅游是高考重要话题之一。该话题作文主要涉及到旅游准备及注意事项、旅游的交通方式、食宿咨询与预订、指路与问路以及描述旅程过程等。
【例题展示】
假设你是新华中学的学生刘畅，父母答应你今年高三毕业后去英国作10天的观光旅游，请你给你的英国网友Tom写一封电子邮件，咨询以下事情：
1. 不随旅游团的食宿、交通等问题；
2. 必看的景点与时间安排；
3. 邀请他到中国观光。
注意：1. 词数：120～150；
2. 可适当增加细节。
Dear Tom,
How’s everything going? _____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Liu Chang
【思路点拨】
1. 人称时态。该作文体裁为电子邮件，生活邮件的人称一般为第一人称，如该作文应该以“我”的口吻来表达。（电子邮件多用现在时态、一般将来时，但个别地方根据表达的需要可用一般过去时等，该试题中应该采用一般现在时、现在完成时以及一般将来时。
2. 语言特点。邮件的语言要亲切，要有礼貌，口语化的语言在邮件中比较受欢迎，本题目可用句型It will be a good chance for sb. to do sth, I’d appreciate/be grateful it if you…, I’d like /love to等。
3. 作文要点。本题属于提纲式文字命题，试题中比较醒目地给出了三个要点(咨询随旅游团的食宿、交通等问题，打听必看的景点与时间安排，邀请对方到中国观光)，但要注意试题隐藏语言点。试题中信息“父母答应今年高三毕业后去英国做10天的观光旅游”在邮件中应该交待清楚，这也是该作文绝对不可缺少的要点，否则会造成因要点不全而过多失分。
4. 组句扩句。题目中只是些纲领性的信息，写作中要注意不要逐条简单的翻译要点，要合理地进行扩句，将要点组成通顺的短文。同时要适当加些与要点相关系的信息，比如：去英国观光是练口语、体验英国文化的机会。
5. 题材体裁。观光旅游这一题材的作文，命题人可从不同角度来命题，不同角度的试题及体裁也不同，不同地题材要采用相应的写作方法。旅游计划的拟订、准备、注意事项以及酒店、景点、票务等的订购及费用为事理说明文化；对旅游方式、交通安全、太空旅游、生态旅游等的讨论为议论文，描述旅游经历为记叙文等。该作文为事理说明文。
【范文展示】 promised me to take a 10-day tour of England after my graduation from senior high school this
summer. That will be a really good chance for me to experience English culture close up, meanwhile to practise my oral English.
I have learned English for many years, but after all it is only book knowledge. As I don’t like to join in a group, could you please offer me some advice on where to stay, where to eat and how to travel in such a short time?
I’d appreciate it if you could tell me the must-see tourist attractions and arrangement for the tour. I’m sure your advice will surely make my visit enjoyable and worthwhile.
I’d like to invite you to visit china in your convenient time.
【习作点评】
短文完成了试题规定的任务，覆盖所有内容要点 ；结构完整，逻辑严密；用词委婉而合理，读起来朗朗上品，让人看起来顺眼，想起来顺心；同时短文运用了较高级的词汇及语言结构，为文章增添了采分点及亮点。
1. 文中长短句结合好，文中第二句是个比较复杂的复合句，该句中that引导同位语从句，解释说明它前边名词news的具体内容。
2. 文章不但了并列句、同位语从句、原因是状语从句等，还采用了一般疑问句、特殊疑问句(How’s everything going? could you please…in such a short time?)，让句式变化而不呆板。
3. 短文运用了较高级的语言结构及词汇，如：I cannot wait to tell you the good news…以及I’d appreciate it if you could tell…为较高级句型；where to stay, where to eat and how to travel为平行结构；close up, meanwhile, must-see, attractions, arrangement, enjoyable and worthwhile, convenient为较高级的词汇。
【实战演练】

注意：1．词数100左右，信的格式及开头已为你写好（不计人总词数）。

篇六:《一封给旅游论坛介绍自己尴尬经历的信=英文》
你刚经历了一次槽糕的外国旅行，你给一个英语在线论坛发布信息。
1）告诉其他游客一些你的糟糕的经历 2）给他们一些关于旅行的建议。 字数100个单词，不要在你的留言结束时写上自己的姓名，请使用“wang lin”这个名字。 Dear friends ,
Today I’m writing to share some special and terrible traveling experiences with you. And I hope you can learn from my experiences and avoid such embarrassment.
At first, I’m very happy to take a trip to England. The boarding time was 10 o’clock, so I set out at 8 o’clock. But on my way to the airport, there was a serious traffic accident, and i was late. So I didn’t catch the original plane and i had to wait eight hours for the next flight because of the bad weather. Finally, i got on the plane. As soon as I arrived at the destination, I hurried to the hotel, because the hotel only reserve a room for 12 hours. Unfortunately, I failed to check in. So I was spending a whole night in the hall of the hotel because I was unfamiliar with the city.
In order to have a happy travel, in my opinion, you should start off as early as possible to catch the airplane. Second, you should ask the hotel to reserve your room for longer time in case you are late. Hope this never happens to you. Best wishes.
Yours ,
Wang Lin
篇七:《英语作文一次可怕的经历》
英语作文一次可怕的经历
A Horrible Experience
I used to be fond of skating. But now things have changed because of a horrible experience.
One winter, the weather was so cold that water turned into ice. One day on my way home, when seeing a frozen lake, I thought that the ice must be thick enough to support me. Being so interested in skating, I couldn't help going down and sliding on the ice. Suddenly, I heard a sound of crack. Looking down, I saw the crack on the ice surface. I was frightened out of my life and didn't dare to move. But nobody could help me. I had to move toward the bank carefully.
As soon as I got onto the bank, the ice broke. How horrible it was! Even ifit has been a long time since then, I can still feel the fear. And I no longer like skating since then.
一次可怕的经历
我曾经非常喜欢滑冰。但是因为一次可怕的经历，事情发生了改变。
一年冬天，天气 卜分寒冷，湖水都结了冰。一天在回家的路上，看到结冰的湖面，我想这冰厚得足以支撑得住我。因为喜欢滑冰，我忍不住跑到湖面上滑起来。突然我听到一丝开裂声，向下一看，我看到冰面上出现了裂纹。我被吓得要命，不敢动。但是没有人能帮助我，我只能小心翼翼地向岸边挪动。
我刚一上岸，冰面就裂开了。太可怕了!即使过去了这么长时间，我仍然感到恐惧。从那时起我就不再喜欢滑冰了。

How glad we were to see the cross and vegetables growing well! At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, but the
time passed quickly. Before we knew it, we had to say goodbye to the workers.
Best wishes for you!
