向别人介绍自己的城市厦门英语作文
向别人介绍自己的城市厦门英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Hometown - XiamenHi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm ten years old. I live in a really cool city called Xiamen. It's located on the southeast coast of China, right across the Taiwan Strait. Xiamen is famous for being one of the most beautiful cities in my country. Let me tell you all about it!First of all, Xiamen has the most amazing weather. It's nice and warm all year round because we're pretty close to the equator. The summers can get really hot, but it's perfect beach weather. And in the winters, it just feels like spring or fall in other places. We hardly ever need warm coats or boots. Just t-shirts and shorts!Speaking of beaches, Xiamen has some of the best in China. My favorite is Gulangyu Island Beach. Gulangyu is a tiny island just off the coast that you can reach by ferry. No cars are allowed there, so it's really quiet and peaceful. The sand is super soft andthe water is so clear you can see all the way to the bottom. I love playing in the waves and looking for little shells and crabs.The coolest thing about Xiamen though is all the little alleys and neighborhoods. The old part of the city still has these maze-like streets with rows of old buildings squished together. It's fun to wander around and imagine what life was like there hundreds of years ago when Xiamen was just a small fishing village. There are also beautiful temples and gardens tucked away that make you feel like you've gone back in time.But Xiamen isn't just about old stuff! We have plenty of modern attractions too. The Xiamen Railroad Museum is awesome if you're a train lover like me. You can go inside old locomotive cars and learn all about how railroads changed China. And the huge ferris wheel at the Xiangan Sea-Crossing Bridge Park is hard to miss - it's one of the biggest in the world!The food in Xiamen is out of this world. We're really famous for our seafood like fish balls, oyster omelets, and cereal prawns. My personal favorite though is shao mai - those yummy little steamed dumplings. You can find them being sold on almost every street corner. I probably eat way too many of them! For dessert, we have some special Xiamen treats like tong-pun bread and yam dessert. So delicious.I could go on and on about my city, but I think you get the idea - Xiamen is pretty great! The combination of beautiful nature spots, rich culture and history, fun attractions, and amazing food makes it a fantastic place to live or visit. We get a lot of tourists from all over the world who come to experience a taste of real southern Chinese life.If you ever come to China, you have to stop by Xiamen. I'd be happy to show you around my favorite spots! Just look for a kid stuffing his face with shao mai and say "ni hao" (that's "hello" in Chinese). Maybe I can even teach you a few words in my local Hokkien dialect. Xiamen is the best - I feel so lucky to call it my home. Come see it for yourself!篇2My Hometown: The Beautiful XiamenHi there! My name is Xiaoming, and I'm a 10-year-old boy living in the wonderful city of Xiamen. I love my hometown, and I'm so excited to tell you all about it!Xiamen is a coastal city located in Fujian Province, in the southeastern part of China. It's known for its beautiful beaches, delicious food, and rich history. One of the things that make Xiamen special is its unique location – it's an island city! That'sright, my hometown is on an island called Xiamen Island, which is connected to the mainland by bridges and an underwater tunnel.One of my favorite places in Xiamen is Gulangyu Island. It's a tiny island just off the coast of Xiamen, and it's famous for its beautiful architecture and relaxing atmosphere. No cars are allowed on Gulangyu, so you have to explore it on foot or by renting a bike. The narrow streets are lined with oldcolonial-style buildings, and there are lots of beautiful gardens and parks to visit. My friends and I love to go there during the weekends and ride our bikes around the island.Another place that I really enjoy is the Huandao Road Scenic Area. It's a long coastal road that goes all the way around Xiamen Island, offering stunning views of the ocean and the city skyline. There are lots of parks and beaches along the way, and it's a great place for walking, cycling, or just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery. My family and I often go there for picnics or to fly kites on the beach.篇3My Wonderful Hometown of XiamenHi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I was born and raised in the beautiful city of Xiamen, which is locatedin Fujian Province on the southeast coast of China. Xiamen is such an amazing place and I'm so lucky to call it my hometown. Let me tell you all about it!First of all, Xiamen has the most gorgeous scenery you can imagine. It's an island city, surrounded by the blue waters of the Taiwan Strait. The beaches here have fine golden sand and the ocean is the prettiest shade of turquoise. I love going to the beach with my family to swim, build sandcastles, and look for colorful seashells.One of my favorite places in Xiamen is Gulangyu Island. This cute little pedestrian-only island is just a short ferry ride from downtown Xiamen. It's filled with lanes lined with quirky little souvenir shops and yummy restaurants. The whole island looks like it's frozen in time from decades ago, with lovely historic colonial-era architecture everywhere you look. My friends and I have so much fun exploring Gulangyu and riding the tiny beach train that circles the island.The weather in Xiamen is absolutely perfect too. We have a humid subtropical climate with mild temperatures year-round. Even in the winter months, it rarely gets cold enough for a jacket. The summers can get pretty hot and sticky, but the cool oceanbreezes help make it comfortable. My friends and I spend hours playing outside every day after school.Downtown Xiamen is such a lively, bustling area. I love wandering around the zigzagging pedestrian streets full of shops, restaurants, street food vendors, and people watching entertainers doing magic tricks or Chinese opera shows. The most iconic sight is the famous Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, which seems to stretch on forever and is always packed with locals and tourists alike.My favorite time of year is during the Spring Festival celebrations for Chinese New Year. The entire city gets decorated with beautiful red lanterns, dragon dances and fireworks shows happen every night, and I get to spend two whole weeks off from school! My grandparents always take me and my cousins to the Xiamen International Fireworks Festival, which is the biggest fireworks competition in the whole country.The food in Xiamen is out-of-this-world delicious as well. Since we're a coastal city, seafood is very popular. My dad loves taking me to the Huian seafood restaurants, where you pick out your live fish and crabs from big tanks and they cook it up for you right there. The oyster omelets are my personal favorite localsnack food. For breakfast, I'm obsessed with the delicious and super flaky egg tarts from the local bakeries.Xiamen's unique history and culture is also really cool to learn about. Did you know that Xiamen (then called Amoy) was one of the first four treaty ports opened to foreign trade back in the 1800s? This brought a big international influence, which you can still see today in areas like Gulangyu. The city's name actually comes from the word "amen" which Portuguese sailors would shout when their ships arrived safely in the harbor.We speak a really unique dialect in Xiamen called Amoy or Hokkien. It's quite different from standard Mandarin and other Chinese dialects. All the street signs and restaurant menus are written in both Mandarin and our local dialect. My parents are trying to teach me Hokkien, but I have to admit it's pretty tough for me to learn!Besides the beaches, there are lots of fun things for kids to do in Xiamen. I love going to the massive Jimeizi Urban Wetland Park to look for birds, fish, and turtles. The Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is awesome for running around and playing with all the interactive science exhibits. And no trip to Xiamen is complete without a visit to the iconic Nanputuo Temple, one of the oldest Buddhist temples in all of China.I'm so grateful that I grew up in such an amazing, beautiful, and fascinating city like Xiamen. From the gorgeous scenery and beaches to the delicious food and unique local culture, there's just so much to see and do here. If you ever get the chance to visit, you'll quickly see why I love my hometown so much. Thanks for reading and I hope you can come to Xiamen soon! Zai jian (goodbye)!篇4My Wonderful Hometown – XiamenHi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I was born and raised in the amazing city of Xiamen, which is located in the southeast part of China. Let me tell you all about my wonderful hometown!Xiamen is a coastal city, which means it's right next to the ocean. We have beautiful beaches with soft, golden sand and clear blue-green water. My favorite beach is Hulishan Bathing Beach because it has a huge playground and lots of fun water activities like banana boat rides and water trampolines. The best part is that Xiamen's weather is warm and sunny almost all year round, so we can go to the beach anytime!Our city is located on Xiamen Island and a few other smaller islands in the Taiwan Strait. Because we're surrounded by ocean on all sides, everywhere you go, you can see the sparkling blue water and feel the cool sea breeze. There are also tons of delicious seafood restaurants serving up fresh fish, shrimp, crab and more. Yum!One of the most famous attractions in Xiamen is Gulangyu Island, a small pedestrian-only island just off the main island. It's nicknamed the "Piano Island" because there are so many piano museums, shops and even piano-shaped buildings! The entire island is filled with pretty gardens, old colonial architecture and fun cafes and ice cream shops. You have to take a ferry to get there, which is half the fun.In addition to beaches and islands, Xiamen has a ton of cool parks and cultural sites. My favorite is Nanputuo Temple, a huge Buddhist temple complex with beautiful temples, gardens, ponds and even its own mini mountain! Every year for Chinese New Year, the temples are decorated with lanterns and flowers. It's so pretty!Another awesome place is Zhongshan Road Walking Street, which is this crazy long pedestrian shopping area with tons ofyummy street food, fun stores, and live performances happening all the time. You never know what you'll see there!One more thing I love about Xiamen is our yummy local food. We have delicious dishes like Xiamen sandian noodles, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and Shaxian snacks likesand-baked cakes. Everything is always so fresh and flavorful because we're right on the ocean.There are so many other cool things about Xiamen that I could go on forever, but I'll stop here. If you ever get a chance to visit my hometown, you'll get to experience all the amazing sights, tastes and culture for yourself. I'm very lucky to live in such a special place. Thanks for reading, and I hope you can come see Xiamen soon! Zàijiàn (goodbye)!篇5My Hometown XiamenHi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I was born and raised in the beautiful seaside city of Xiamen in southeast China. Let me tell you all about my amazing hometown!Xiamen is located on the coast in Fujian Province, right across the Taiwan Strait from the island of Taiwan. Our city is actually made up of Xiamen Island and some parts of the mainland too. With a long history dating back over a thousand years, Xiamen used to be a humble fishing village. But in modern times, it has grown into a booming and prosperous city while still managing to keep its quaint island charm.One of the best things about Xiamen is the incredible scenery everywhere you look. The whole island is covered in lush, rolling green hills and surrounded by the sparkling blue waters of the Taiwan Strait. Gorgeous sandy beaches with swaying palm trees line the shores. My favorite is Hulishan Fortress, an old stone fort on a hill overlooking the sea where you can watch amazing sunsets.But Xiamen isn't just pretty scenery - it's also a major city with over 3.5 million people! The oldestpart is Xiamen Island itself, with its narrow winding streets, traditional architecture, and lively neighborhoods. This is where you'll find classics like the Nanputuo Temple, a 700-year-old Buddhist monastery, and Zhongshan Road Walking Street, which is packed with shops and snack stalls.Then there are the modern areas like Siming District on the mainland, with its towering skyscrapers, big shopping malls, and buzzing nightlife. My family lives in a high-rise apartment in Siming and I love visiting all the restaurants, arcades, and attractions like Xiamen University and the fun Dinosaur Park. No matter where you go in Xiamen though, you're never too far from the refreshing ocean breeze!Since Xiamen used to be one of China's major international trading ports, it has absorbed a lot of foreign cultural influences over the centuries. You can see this mixture of Chinese and Western elements everywhere, from the Chinese-Baroque architecture to the different cuisines. Xiamen people are very friendly, open-minded, and cosmopolitan.Speaking of food, Xiamen has some of the most amazing and unique dishes I've ever tasted! Being a coastal city, we're famous for our delicious fresh seafood like sea worms, oyster omelets, and butter-basted prawns. But we also have hearty soups and stews like buddha jumps over the wall, tangy fermented tofus, and thin but chewy noodles. Yum! I especially love the little snacks you can find from street vendors like barbecue skewers, flakey egg cakes, and sugary fritters.I love going down to the harbors and watching theold-fashioned red-sailed boats slowly cruising out to the little offshore islands of the Xiamen archipelago. Some of those islands, like Gulangyu, don't even allow cars and bikes - you have to get around on foot or by golf cart! With their quiet beaches, hiking trails, and centuries-old mansions, they are like stepping back in time to old Xiamen.There's so much more I could say about my hometown - I haven't even mentioned all our great parks, museums, swimming spots, and famous bridges yet! Whether you're into history, nature, food, or just relaxing by the ocean, Xiamen truly has something for everyone. We locals are very proud of our unique city.As Xiamen has opened up more to the world in recent years, it has become an increasingly popular domestic and international tourist destination. Millions of visitors come each year to experience our blend of modern amenities and historic island charm. Maybe you'll be one of them someday! If so, I'd be happy to show you around my favorite spots. Xiamen is endlessly fascinating no matter how many times you visit.I feel so lucky to have grown up in such an amazing place filled with natural beauty, deep-rooted culture, friendly people,and delicious food. No matter where I end up later in life, Xiamen will always be my beloved home. I hope you've enjoyed learning a bit about my hometown. Come visit us soon! Thanks for reading.篇6My Hometown: Xiamen, the Beautiful Coastal CityHi there! My name is Xixi and I'm a 10-year-old student from Xiamen, a wonderful city in southeast China. I love my hometown so much, and I'm excited to tell you all about it!Xiamen is an island city located right across from Taiwan. It has a long history dating back over a thousand years. The city used to be called Amoy, which comes from the local dialect's pronunciation of Xiamen. Pretty cool, right?One of the best things about Xiamen is its beautiful natural scenery. Our island is surrounded by the sparkling blue waters of the Taiwan Strait. We have so many pretty beaches with soft white sand and swaying palm trees. My favorite is Hulishan Fortress, an old military fort that now has a beach area where you can swim, build sandcastles, and watch amazing sunsets.Xiamen is also known for its lush green mountains and parks. Wuyi Mountain is right in the middle of the city center with hiking trails, temples, and incredible views from the top. Every spring, the trails are covered in clouds of delicate plum blossoms. Zhongshan Road is a pedestrian shopping area lined with leafy banyan trees that provide nice shade. I love walking there with my parents and getting fresh fruit from the markets.The weather in Xiamen is simply perfect in my opinion! We have a subtropical marine climate, which means it's warm and sunny all year round. Even in winter, the temperature is around 60°F (15°C). My favorite season is spring when it's not too hot and everything is in bloom. Sometimes we get typhoons and heavy rains in summer, but I enjoy the cool breeze and splashing in puddles.Our city has a really unique blend of cultures and architectures. There are historic neighborhoods with traditional Chinese houses and temples. But you'll also find European-style colonial buildings left over from when Xiamen was an international trading port. Gulangyu Island is an especially pretty area with all these different architecture styles. No cars are allowed there, so it's very peaceful to wander around.Xiamen is famous for its incredibly fresh and delicious seafood. You can find live seafood markets all over the city. My favorites are the sweet local oysters and buttery yellow croakers (a kind of fish). Yummy! We also have amazing local snack foods like savory oyster omelets, crispy fried fritters called putuan, and chewy fish balls. I'll get hungry just thinking about it!There's so much fun stuff to do around Xiamen too. You can go cycling along the waterfront areas, take a ferry to the little islands offshore, or just enjoy the many parks and plazas. Every Chinese New Year we have incredible fireworks displays and dragon dances. The Xiamen International Marathon is a huge event that runners come from all over for. And the Xiamen Impression light show uses the entire cityscape as a backdrop for dazzling lights and effects.I feel so lucky to grow up in such a special place. Xiamen hasa wonderful mix of natural beauty, fascinating culture and history, amazing food, fun activities and more. If you ever get a chance to visit, you'll see why I love my hometown so much. Thanks for letting me tell you all about Xiamen, the beautiful coastal city!。

There are consular officers ready to do what they can to help if people get into difficulties, but for all sorts of reasons there are limits to what they can do. Most times things go well for travellers abroad but occasionally things go wrong.So, whether you are an experienced traveller or a first timer, going by yourself, with the family or a group there are things you should do before you go.

But there's no law that says a consul has to lend you money and if he eventually does (and it will have to be repaid) he will want to be satisfied first that you really do have no money and there is no one else you know who can help.It is also importan t to take out proper insurance (保险) for everything from car breakdowns to loss of life.

Mickey had scored a ll right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome (综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, "I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!" For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried.I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, "Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!"

Selling educatioinal toys should be easy.While China may be the world's biggest toy-maker, much of the best is exported (出品). Department stores here do not have enough high-quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.A US company', BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals. People who join the company's "mother' club" get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company's educational toys and childcare books."We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, BabyCare's president. "It starts during pregnancy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explaining toy's that are designed for children at each stage (阶段) of development to age six.BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children's education and health that no other companies are in.13.

Educational Toys On.EExperts have put forward detailed plans tot a tunnel (隧道) to join Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers-more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel. And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.A recent conference in Xiamen, Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts. The event was co-sponsored (共同发展) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.Fujian is the province where beth proposed routes would begin.There is no direct passenger access (通道) between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment.Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funding. There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits.A professor of Tsinghua university said, "A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction." For example, he said, the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries. And preparations for the huge Three Gorges dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s.The Xiamen conference focused (集中) on the longest southern route., which would use the Taiwan-controlled islands of Jinmen and Penghu as stepping stones.The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometers between Xiamen and Jinmen. This would mean that travelling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes.The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometer Land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy. The tunnel will not be completed until 2015-2020.17. Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present?A. The English Channel Tunnel.B. The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.C.

You can't reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present.D. The starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujian.20. What is the possible difficulty in carrying out the plan?A.

When I was a child, my homesick was a small stamp Linking Mum at the other end and me this. When I grew up, I remained homesick, but it became a ticket. By which I sailed to and from my bride at the other end. Then homesickness took the shape of the grave, Mum inside of it and me outside. Now I’m still homesick, but it is a narrow strait Separating me on this side and the mainland on the other.

Although it has so many difficulties, it still has a lot of advantages. As the Chinese saying goes, preparedness ensures success, and unpreparedness spells failure. Currently, we could do something to prepare for it. • start a pre-feasibility study program • Contact people of insight from both sides of the Taiwan Strait to discuss it. • do geographical and geological investigations on both sides of Taiwan Strait. The project needs long-term and repeating preparations and investigations. Only in this way can we make the dream come true once this happens.
