旅游英语视听说作文5篇

1、Some claim that people travel just for leisure.However,I don't agree with this point.To tell the truth,we can catch much leisure through traveling,but it isn't all.We can also learn a lot and get a lot when traveling.For one thing,travel is a very good means of broadening a person's perspective.It makes you come into contact with different colors and go through peculiarities and ceremonies.Traveling much,you will not only enrich your knowledge and experiences,but also be aware of the vastness of nature.For another,travel can refresh you.You can go to Desneyland and experience what it's like to be "A child again!"You can visit the Grand Canyon and feel the magnificence of nature!You can taste the "magical"ice water on a glacier,which can help you become more beautiful and make you live longer.The origin of the word "travel"is most likely lost to history.The term"travel"may originate from the Old French word travail.According to the Merriam Webster dictionary,the first known use if the word travel was in the 14th century.Reasons for traceling include recreation,tourism or vacationing,research travel for the gathering of information,for holiday to visit people,volunteer travel for chaity,migration to begin life somewhere else.Motives to travel include pleasure,relaxation,discovery and exploration,getting to know other cultures and taking personal time for building interpersonal relationships.Travel may be local,regional,domestic or international.As we can see,Travel was produced by human nature acticities.Experience is a type of living knowleg.You'll be sure to experience many new things when traceling.You don't even need a tour guide if you long for more freedom.Just don't forget to bring your backpack!2、Many people prefer to travel by air.This is because air travel has some advantages.In the fist place,airplane,the miracle created by man,is the fasted means of transport.It takes the least time for one to travel by air from one place to another.Secondly,traveling by air is convenient and comfortable.Friendly air hostesses are affectionate and considerate.They look after passengers all the way to their destinations.Moreover,on long distance flights there are films and music for people to entertain themselves.As a popular saying goes,"Every coin has two sides."The same is true of air travel.It has some disadvantages,too.For one thing,air travel costs a great deal.The average Chinese are not rich enough to afford expensive air fares.So they prefer to take trains,which save a lot of money.For another,although passengers are assured of their safety,they are still worried about it during the journey because flying always involves more or less risk.As far as I'm concerned,the advantages mentioned above exceed the disadvantages.If I were given choice between traveling by air and train,I would certainly prefer the former.For me,time is money and it is the most important thing I have to tale into consideration whatever I do.3、When I was a child,I liked Venice,a place where many people think it is romatic.I always feel that Venice is a city full of mystery,which has been known as "city of water" .While in China,there is also a city of water,Wuzhen,which is located in the center of the six ancient towns south of Yangze River.Wuzhen displays its history through its ancient stone bridges,stone pathways and delicate wood carvings.The town also has a rich cultural background.Both Venice and Wuzhen have many bridges.They not only make life convenient but also beautify the environment.However,the architectural styles of the bridge is different.Venice has a rich and diverse architectural style,the most famous of which is the Gothic style.It is the same used in bridges.The most famous bridge in Venice is the Bridge of Sighs.Indeed,the Bridge of Sighsis a beautiful sight,strcetching high above the canal.Italian Renaissance in style,the 11 meters wide bridge is made of white limestone and two windows with stone bars sit at the summit of the enclosed bridge.And it is decorated with sculptures depicti ng sad or angry faces.In Wuzhen,the traditional buildings are still preserved after passing so many years.In this town,with a dense network of rivers,people build their house along the river.Bridge is an indispensable factor in Jiangnan water village.It is said that in Wuzhen's history the amount of bridges has topped to more than 120,a truly"hundred paces a bridge".The "Bridge within a Bridge"is a scenic attraction created by two ancient bridges,the Tongji Bridge which crosses the river from east to west and the Renji Bridge running from south to north that jions the former at one end.Either of two bridges can be seen through the arch of the other,hence the name.The bridge in Venice reflects the western gopmetrical beauty while the bridge of Wuzhen reflects the characteristics of China Garden.This reflects the different thoughts of people and differen culture.Both Venice and Wuzhen are beautiful towns.If we say that Wuzhen is a ink wash painting,then Venice is a rich and gaudy colorwater painting.4、Tourism in China has greatly expanded over the last few decades since the beginning of reform and opening.According to the WTO,in 2020,China will become the largest tourist country and among the largest for overseas travel.However,China's tourism is facing a lot of problems.It is still in a low level stage.For eaxanple,tourism in China is largely driven by ticket sales and "pushed shopping".What's worse,problems are more than these.Many people just go to the tourist attractions and don't for enjoyment,but just for photographing.In addition,all kinds of service is not comprehensive,various laws and regulations is not sound.The neglecting of environment pollution and damage of cutural heritage is another problem.Nevertheless our tourist services are not as developed as what they should have been.In keeping with international practice,our tourism should be improved in the following ways: First,the query of service should be improved.The guides should be not only fluent in speaking a foreign language but also knowledgeable enough to provide ready information on whatever is being visited.Secondlly,the standard of food should be properly regulatated ill order to attact more tourists.Finally,transportation should be made more convenient so that tourists have easier access to some famous but remote spots.In shot,I believe if the above are perfectly done,tourism in China will see an immediate rise.5、It is reported that tourism is considered the most suitable one mode of e-business field.With the explosion of the Internet,e-business has contributed a lot to tourism in China.Tourism in developing e-business can not only reduce the cost,generate new profit growth point,but also can enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.Firstly,China's travel service sector has encountered revolutionary changes due to the e-business.Business from IT industry take advantage of e-business,and become on-line agencies,such as the tourism division of ,, and .These new entrants are often backed by advanced technology companies and competitive tourism organisations with funds from Chinese and foreign conglomerates.In China's marketpace,around 17.5% of Internet users search travel information on line.These individuals are actually lookers.During 2013,16.6% of Chinese eCustomers purchased tickits and 13.4%booked hotel rooms.Secondly,as for me,e-business has brought great convenience to my travel.Throughe-business ,I have a wider range of options.I can search the Internet to find the cheapest ticket and in this way I can save a considerable of money.It is really suitable for a student like me who don't have much money.What's more,I can order the hotel on the Internet saving lots of time.Be in China at present,tourism e-business is not perfect,but also in the process of implementation also apeared many problems,but tourism e-business is inevitable trend,its development will replace traditional tourism mode of operation.。

Step 3: Split the portions. If dinner is a serve yourself affair, then the extra guest is easy to accommodate-----simply adjust the portions accordingly. However, if you have prepared six portions of chicken----not seven----then you have no alternative but to split delightful niece Tara’s portion with her surprise partner. Politely excuse this when serving up. "I'm terribly sorry, I only cooked for six, but I know Tara won't mind sharing." Step 4: Speak to offender afterwards. When dealt with in a polite and dignified manner, your surprise guest should pose little problem once dinner is under way. Relax and enjoy the evening. Either in private or after the event you are perfectly entitled to make your delightful niece realize that her actions were completely unacceptable.

Once the waiter shows you the wine and you agree that this is the wine you in fact selected, they will go ahead and uncork the wine and he shoots up the cork on the table. Now, don’t go and smell the cork as it’s not going to give you any value, it is just going to smell like cork, but what you can do is to look at the cork and deduce whether or not, the cork is tinted or the wine maybe tinted based on cork discoloration.

旅游英语视听说第二版朱华课后答案

旅游英语视听说第二版朱华课后答案Unit OneSection AII Comprehension of The Text1.The attitude is that if one is not moving ahead, he is falling behind.2.Time is treated as if it were something almost real. People budget it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; they also charge for it. They do this because time is a precious resource.3.Everyone is in a rush—often under pressure. In the writer’s eyes, city people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping.4.Don’t take it personally.

Be careful not to miss Professor Brown’s seminar; he takes attendance in that.Q: What is the woman telling the man?3. ScriptW: Wow, Steven! In the library! What brings you here?M: I’m enjoying the view. All the girls in fashion design are here preparing for an exam on Monday.Q: Why is the man in the library?4. ScriptW:How’s your group doing with this statistics presentation? Mine’s terrible.M: Yeah, mine too. David and Mike are OK, but Steven doesn’t pull his weight and Suzie’s never around.

Listening InP4 Task1: On the First DayScriptHarrison: I’m Harrison. Good to meet you. So you’ve bought the books for this biology class.Jenny: Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop. 选科Jenny: What’s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which one is best. Hey, where are you from?Jenny: Poland. Have you had this teacher before? I’ve heard he is really good.Harrison: He’s good if you’re a hard-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that’s good. I ho pe I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison:You’re welcome.…Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor’s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That’s all right. A lot of what he said is explained in the reading.Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over?Harrison: No problem. We don’t hav e class until Wednesday. Here you go.Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I’m prepared for the seminar.Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hard-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harris on notes, he says “on problem”, for they don’t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an important part of the education there.P5 Task 2How to select elective courses?To begin with, you should select the courses that fit your profession. It is a good idea to choose elective courses closely related to your chosen profession. Potential employers未来的老板will appreciate every bit of extra training and knowledge that they don't have to give you. For example, you may select elective courses in chemistry, biology or even physics if you are doing a science major. For business majors, select electives in accounting, business administration, and even computing, as you'll never know when these will come in handy使用 in the corporate world 商业世界.Moreover, you can choose an education that includes many fields of study. If you are taking a heavy load of许多career-related courses, you may prefer electives that are not directly related to不直接your major. If you receive a well-rounded education接受全面的发展教育, some employers believe that you have better potential. For example, if you have courses in science along with your business degree, you could possibly win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives. Finally, you can also select a challenging elective course. Part of getting an education is learning how to learn, and elective courses should help you achieve this goal. You need not to memorize all the information from each class, but you should get a better understanding of the world. So, pick elective courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in a different way. For instance, you can consider a philosophy elective if you have been told that you are a little narrow-minded.P6 Task3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts andstudents themselves, are the secrets of super-achievers.设置优先事项；抓住重点Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before在先recreation娱乐 .事业在娱乐的前面Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly严格的，完全的 a matter of事关personal preference个人喜好，偏好. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consi stency. A student says, “Whatever I was doing, I main taineda certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know how to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader---one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”.1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?2.What did the cross-country runner do to score high on theexam?3.What is the good thing all top students agree on?4.What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Keys: 1B 2.C 3. D 4.A 5.DIV.

I already have two reports, two books reports, a composition, an oral report, and a research project—all due 全部到期 before midterms.Nora: We could work together. Maybe some of my organized study habit有组织的学习习惯would rub off on有帮助 you.Chris: Better yet, maybe you could do my homework for me.Nora: Forget it! That would be cheating.Chris: All right, all right. I have yet to write a term paper. Can you recommend any articles and books? You’d better find me the exact pages wher e I can find what I want.Nora: You could borrow ideas from references, but if you quote引述，引用without giving the sources, you’re plagiarizing. 剽窃，抄袭Chris: The quiz next week will be a headache. If you don’t help me, I’ll have to prepare some study sheets 小抄and hide them in my hand when I take the test.No ra: Oh, no! If you’re caught, the professor will definitelygive you an F. Probably, you will have to repeat the year.Chris: All right, I’ll take your advice. The library is going to be my new home, and in the dorm 宿舍I’ll be burning the midnight oil.MODEL2 Which class do you prefer?ScriptChris:First period is math with Mr. Woods. I don’t know how am I going to stay awake?Nora: I like Mr. Wood. He’s interesting.Chris: He’s boring! He could put the en tire basketball team to sleep—during the championship game! Who do you have for economics?Nora:Mrs. Jenkins. She’s smart. Students really learn a lot from her.Chris: She’s tough! You have to work hard in her class, or you’ll probably fail.Nora: No pain, no gain.Chris: Nonsense, You could have learned even more with Mr. Sharp. But not many students opt for his class.Nora:What’s wrong with him?Chris: Often, the highest grade he gives on a term paper is C+, and he usually fails half of the students.Nora:No wonder he’s got the nickname Mr. Shark. Well, how about PE? What are you doing this semester?Chris:That’s the worst part. In PE, we’re learning t’ai chi. I’m bored to death.Nora: Ha-ha! Not to rub salt into the wound, but our class is playing your favorite sport: basketball.Chris: Oh…that figures! This is going to be a terrible semester.Nora: This is going to be a great semester!MODEL3 Publish or perishScriptChris: Tell us, Professor Grant, What are your primary duties as a professor?Professor Grant: Well, I do a lot of research and writing. It’s rough being an associate professor.It’s publish or perish.vi.死亡，丧生Chris: So you spent a lot of time in your office?Professor Grant: Yes, but I also have to prepare class notes, give lectures, hold office hours.Teaching is an important part of being a professor.Chris: With all those responsibilities, you must make a lot of money.Professor Grant: I wish. Actually, I spend a lot of time applying for grants基金( grant的名词复数 )；补助金；授给物（如财产、授地、专有权、补助、拨款等）to fund my research. Then I can offer assistantships助教费and scholarships to the worthy graduate students who can help me with my research project.Chris: I see why they call you “the boss”. But being a professor s ounds pretty competitive.Professor Grant:Actually, I think you were in one of my classes…Chris: Um….I think you’re mistaken, Professor Grant!Professor Grant: No, I remember very clearly now! You owe me an essay!Chris: Sorry, I have too much work to do for the Student Union Newsletter, and I have to work two jobs to pay for school.Professor Grant: So you get an F in this course.P14V. Let’s Talk Maintaining the quality or increasing the intake?Interviewee: It's a really difficult balance to strike, actually maintaining the quality but making sure as many young people as possible and older people as well—there's been a surge极速增加in the number of over 25s applying, and we take many people who are over 25. But we've got to get that balance right.It's going to be terribly difficult for us next year.Hostess: Given the cuts that the government announced a couple of weeks ago, and the numbers that we know in terms of applications, where are you going to draw that line? Are you going to have to look at cutting intake in order to maintain the quality of the courses?Interviewee: We're trying not to cut intake at the moment. But what it means is we're going to have to be extra-cautious in the number of offers we make, because we simply cannot afford to go over our quota of the number of places that we can offer. Because if we do, it means that we could be fined, or we just simply haven't got enough money to make sure the students' experience is right. So it means that maybe last year we would allow a few more people to have an offer. This year is going to be tougher.Hostess: Do you lay some of the blame for the situation at the door of the government?Interviewee: If you look to France, Sarkozy is actually increasing the budget for higher education.Obama in the U.S. has done the same thing. So we're just slightly puzzled as to why the government seems to be cutting back on higher education rather than pumping more money into what we think is a service that is absolutely vital for the economy.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingP.16 Task 1 Problems with our educational systemHi, everybody. My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational System”.There are a lot of things in our educational system that I don’t agree with. It seems t hat educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance but neglect忽略students’abilities an d interests in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could’ve had, had they been educated in a broader-minded胸襟开阔的educational system. I feel that a lot of courses that students are forced to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids lost their interest in learning.Educators have failed to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded面面俱到的as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence, some students who are believed to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they, for example, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they ate brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called “weak students” are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower then others. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that they are expected to act. Often thei r grades go from bad to worse. And that’s pretty sad to me. I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent, but never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated very early on in theirP16 Task 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores二年级的学生taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, mi dterms, labs, that each had “A” so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time, and didn’t make i t back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final exam and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire气不足on the way back and didn’t have a spare. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated兴高采烈的. The next day, the professor placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.They took at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,” they thought at the same time, e ach one in his separate room, “This is going to be easy.” Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”P17Task3: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning最古老的高等学府 in the United States.Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, the university has grown from 9 students with a single master to the present enrollment登记of more than 18,000 students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools. Over 14, 000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,000 faculties. Harvard has produced six presidents of the United States and 34 Nobel Prize winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churches throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated 附属的with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey (1953-1971), Harvard started what was then the largest fund-raising campaign 筹款活动in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5 million dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships 教授职位, and expanded Harvard’s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as上任Harvard’s 26th president in 1991. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination协调among the university’s schools and faculties, Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard’s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the importance of the university’s excellence in undergraduate education大学本科教育, the significance of keeping Harvard’s doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, the task of adapting the research university to an era时代of both rapid information growth and serious fundshortage. 作为整体的一部分,努力实现更大的协调在大学的学校和教师,陆登庭鼓励学术计划和确定哈佛的一些主要的知识重点。
