How did the U.S constitution lay the groundwork for American’s economic development ?The U.S. Constitution, as an economic charter, established that the entire nation was a unified or "common" market. There were no tariffs or taxes on interstate commerce. It provided that the federal government could regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the states, establish uniform bankruptcy laws, create money and regulate its value, fix standards of weights and measures, establish post office and roads, and fix rules governing patents and copyrights. The last-mentioned clause was an early recognition of the importance of "intellectual property", a matter that began assuming great importance in trade negotiations since the late 20thcentury.2.

After all the customs formalities, we were tired out.We dragged the trunk out of the airport and dad's friend, uncle Mike, had been waiting for us outside. Suddenly, dad asked Uncle Mike, “what time is it for you in England?”“Uncle Mike immediately said, ”it's seven in the morning.“! You have worked hard all the way!”After greeting each other for a while, a coachwith 7 people could drive us straight to uncle Mike. Uncle Mike's wife is Grace, a native of Hongkong, very friendly and friendly to people. I hasten to call her aunt. At this point, a child ran down the stairs from the two floor. He turned out to be uncle Mike's son, Kevinmike. The little man looked as big as I was.After seeing us, he took me by the hand and, like a little guide, showed me around every room of his house.

On the morning of the second day, after breakfast, my father drove Mike uncle's car, took me and my mother in Liverpool City, took a big circle, and visited the whole city. Here is what is foreign, city streets are clean, tidy, little and dainty buildings are also very beautiful. Thesmall yard of every family is full of bright flowers. The whole city is quiet, free of noise and fresh air.The British people are very polite to people, and everyone sees us with a smile and regards to us. It made us feel very happy. The third day, we drove tothe suburbs. There we saw large fields and saw ranches. On the farm, there were green grass, strong cows,white sheep, and strong horses. We also saw flocks of chickens, ducks, geese and cute puppies. Our day is on a farm to eat lunch, we eat the delicious French fries and fish, there are many unnamed foreign food, really let my appetite!On the fourth day, we went to a cathedral in the city for worship.

介绍英国风景的作文英语100字
介绍英国风景的作文英语100字全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Beautiful Scenery of EnglandEngland is a wonderful country with so many beautiful places to see! One of my favorite parts of England is the gorgeous countryside. The rolling green hills seem to stretch on forever, covered in lush grass and dotted with fluffy white sheep. Tall, ancient trees cast cool shadows over babbling brooks that wind their way through the hills. Little stone cottages with thatched roofs look like something out of a storybook.In the spring, the fields burst into color with wildflowers like buttercups, daisies, and red poppies. Buzzing bees flit from bloom to bloom. In autumn, the leaves on the trees turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold. I love kicking through piles of fallen leaves that crunch under my feet.The coasts of England are simply stunning too. Massive white cliffs like those at the Seven Sisters rise high above the crashing waves of the sea. Sandy beaches stretch for miles, perfect for building sandcastles and hunting for seashells. Insome places, you can find tide pools filled with tiny sea creatures when the tide goes out.I'll never forget the first time I saw the beautiful Lake District in northwest England. The sparkling blue lakes are surrounded by towering mountains and grassy hills. Grazing sheep dot the slopes and hiking trails wind through the valleys between the peaks. It's a peaceful, picturesque place that makes you feel tiny amidst such grand natural beauty.One of my favorite cities in England is the capital, London. It's a huge, bustling place with so much to see and do. I love wandering through charming neighborhoods like Notting Hill with its rows of colorful houses and quirky boutiques. The River Thames flows right through the heart of the city, spanned by impressive bridges like the iconic Tower Bridge.In London, you'll find world-famous landmarks like Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral, and the Houses of Parliament with its striking clock tower known as Big Ben. The city is filled with fantastic museums too, like the Natural History Museum and the British Museum. You could spend weeks in London and still not see everything!Historic castles and stately manor homes are scattered all across the English countryside as well. Some are crumbling ruinswhile others have been perfectly preserved. I always feel like a medieval knight or princess when I explore the towering stone walls, elaborate gardens, and lavishly decorated rooms of these incredible buildings. Castles like Warwick Castle and estates like Blenheim Palace really give you a sense of England's long, storied history.Whether you explore the peaceful countryside, visit the dramatic coastlines, take in the breathtaking natural beauty of the Lake District, wander the bustling streets of London, or tour the striking historic castles and manors, England has so much incredible scenery to offer.

From rolling green hills to rocky cliffs by the ocean, there are all sorts of beautiful scenery. I went on a trip around England with my family and got to see lots of the lovely landscapes. Let me tell you about some of my favorites!The Lake District is one of the most popular places for hiking and enjoying nature in England. It's in the northwest part of the country and has tons of gorgeous lakes surrounded by huge mountains and hills. My family went on a few hikes around some of the bigger lakes like Windermere and Ullswater. The views were just breathtaking with the bright blue waters sparkling in the sun and the mountains towering all around. We even got to take a boat ride across Derwent Water which was so peaceful and relaxing. I loved looking at the little islands and hearing the ducks splashing in the water. The Lake District has some really cute little villages too with traditional stone houses and friendly people selling tasty treats.Another amazing landscape in England is the sandy beaches and rocky cliffs along the coastline. We visited some areas in Cornwall down in the far southwest corner. The beaches there have the most incredible white sand and the water is this brilliant turquoise color. We had so much fun building sandcastles, collecting seashells, and playing in the waves. But it was also really cool to see the dramatic cliffs rising up from the ocean with wind-swept grass on top. We went on a long hike along the South West Coast Path with views of the cliffs jutting out into the sea. It felt like we were walking on the edge of the world! Thelittle seaside towns in Cornwall were adorable too with cobblestone streets and fishing boats bobbing in the harbors.Up in northern England, we visited the Yorkshire Dales which was another breathtakingly beautiful area of rugged landscapes. There were endless stretches of windswept, heather-covered moorlands with dry stone walls crisscrossing over the hills as far as the eye could see. The lonely valleys felt wild and ancient. We did lots of hiking and saw tons of woolly sheep grazing on the hills. I loved climbing up to look out over the vast, open expanses of moorland stretching in every direction. The villages in the Yorkshire Dales looked pulled from an old storybook with charming pubs, churches, and homes built from the iconic local grey stone. One of my favorite places was the huge limestone cliffs of Malham Cove towering 230 feet tall!England truly has some of the most gorgeous landscapes in the world. From the mountains and lakes to the sandy beaches and seaside cliffs to the rolling hills and moors, there is just endless stunning scenery to explore. The beautiful English countryside fills me with wonder and joy at the amazing outdoors. I feel so lucky to have experienced all these picturesque places and can't wait to go back again someday!England's incredible landscapes will forever hold a special place in my heart.篇3The Beautiful Scenery of EnglandHello, my friends! Today, I'm going to tell you all about the breathtaking landscapes of England. Get ready to explore rolling hills, majestic mountains, and stunning coastlines!Let's start our journey in the heart of England, the Cotswolds. This region is famous for its charming villages built withhoney-colored stone. Can you imagine walking through narrow streets lined with thatched-roof cottages and beautiful gardens? It's like stepping into a fairytale! The Cotswolds is also known for its gently rolling hills, called "wolds." These hills are covered in lush, green meadows where sheep graze peacefully.Next, let's head north to the Lake District. This mountainous region is home to some of the most spectacular lakes and mountains in England. The lakes shimmer like mirrors, reflecting the rugged peaks that surround them. Hiking trails wind through ancient forests and past rushing streams. If you're lucky, you might even spot a red squirrel or a majestic deer!Moving on, we come to the Yorkshire Dales, another area famous for its stunning landscapes. Here, you'll find narrow valleys carved by rivers and streams, creating a patchwork of fields and dry-stone walls. The hills rise and fall like giant waves, dotted with tiny villages and grazing sheep. It's a hiker's paradise!Now, let's venture to the coast and explore the Jurassic Coast in southern England. This stretch of coastline is a World Heritage Site, famous for its stunning cliffs and rocky beaches. Can you imagine walking along the beach and discovering fossils that are millions of years old? The Jurassic Coast is a paleontologist's dream!We can't talk about England's landscapes without mentioning the famous White Cliffs of Dover. These chalky cliffs tower over the English Channel, shining bright white in the sun. From the top of the cliffs, you can see all the way across the water to France on a clear day!Speaking of storybooks, we can't forget about the enchanting forests of England. From the ancient oaks of the New Forest to the towering pines of the Forest of Dean, these woodlands are home to all sorts of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for deer, badgers, and even wild ponies!Last but not least, let's talk about the stunning gardens of England. From the perfectly manicured lawns and flower beds of royal palaces to the whimsical cottage gardens overflowing with colorful blooms, England is a gardener's paradise.

From rugged mountains and pristine lakes to rolling hills and dramatic coastlines, this country has it all. I hope you enjoyed our journey and that it has inspired you to explore the great outdoors!篇4The Lovely Views of EnglandEngland is a beautiful country with lots of pretty scenery to enjoy! One of my favorite places is the Lake District in the northwest part of England. This area has sparkling blue lakes surrounded by tall green mountains and hills. It's so peaceful just sitting by the water and watching the ducks swim around. Sometimes you can even see sheep grazing on the grassy slopes! The little villages in the Lake District are very charming too, with stone cottages and friendly locals.Another spot I love is the beaches along the southern coast. The pebble beaches have a relaxing sound as the waves gently roll in. You can spend hours just walking along collecting pretty shells and colorful rocks. The white cliffs towering above some of the beaches are stunning. My parents told me the cliffs are made of chalk and they've been carved away by the sea over millions of years!The countryside in England has so many delightful places to explore as well. I went on a day trip with my class to the Peak District and we hiked through green rolling hills dotted with fluffy sheep. We even saw an ancient stone circle that was built a long, long time ago. The fresh country air smelled wonderful. I also really enjoyed our visit to the New Forest, which is an awesome wooded area full of ponies roaming around! We got to pet and feed the friendly ponies.My family and I have gone on hiking trails through the gorgeous English countryside in places like the Cotswolds region too. The Cotswolds has quaint villages built from golden-colored stone and surrounded by green meadows. It looks like something out of a storybook! We wandered along babbling brooks and walked through wildflower fields full of colorful blooms. The views in the Yorkshire Dales were breathtaking aswell with dramatic limestone cliffs and winding rivers. I felt so tiny compared to the massive rocky crags towering above.England really does have extraordinarily pretty scenery everywhere you go. From bucolic countryside to rugged coastlines to iconic city landmarks, there's so much natural beauty to admire. The wonderful landscape paintings and photographs I've seen simply can't do justice to how magnificent the views are in person. I'm already eager to go explore more of this picturesque island on my next trip! England's scenery is truly something every nature lover needs to experience.篇5The Beautiful Scenery of EnglandEngland is a really pretty country with lots of nice scenery to see. My family took a trip there last summer and we got to visit many different places. I want to tell you all about the lovely landscapes we saw!First, we went to the Lake District in the northwestern part of England. This is a mountainous region with beautiful lakes, valleys, and hills. We stayed in a little town called Grasmere and went hiking every day. The hikes were tiring with all the ups and downs, but the views were so worth it! We could see glitteringlakes surrounded by grassy slopes and craggy peaks. Sheep dotted the hillsides and the air smelled fresh and clean. One of my favorite spots was by Rydal Water where we had a picnic lunch. The lake was perfectly still like a mirror reflecting the puffy clouds above.After the Lake District, we traveled down to Wiltshire to see the ancient stone circles at Avebury and Stonehenge. The stones at Avebury make a massive circle covering a whole village! You can walk right among the huge standing stones which are taller than a double-decker bus. Stonehenge was even more impressive, with its iconic ring of massive rocks. We arrived at sunrise and the morning sunlight streaming through the stones was magical. It made me imagine what rituals the ancient people must have performed there thousands of years ago. The open countryside around the stone circles was covered in fields of golden wheat swaying in the breeze.Next, we went down to the coast in Dorset. The first place we visited was Durdle Door, a naturally formed arched rock formation in the sea cliffs. The turquoise water was so clear and inviting that we couldn't resist going for a swim! I loved exploring the little beach and rock pools nearby too and finding all sorts of shells and sea creatures. We also spent a day at thestunning Lulworth Cove, a circular cove with stacks of layered limestone along the shoreline. The different shades of brown, yellow, and grey made cool patterns in the rocks. Our last stop was Chesil Beach, an enormous 18-mile long shingle beach made up of millions of pebbles. The sound of the waves crunching against all those pebbles was mesmerizing.From the coast, we headed inland to the rolling hills and meadows of the Cotswolds region. We stayed in the most adorable villages made of warm honey-colored stone houses with thatched roofs. Everything was so picturesque, like something from a storybook! We went on walks through the countryside past fields of grazing sheep and dry stone walls crisscrossing the hills. My favorite thing was the miles and miles of stone walls dividing up the pastures. Some of them looked hundreds of years old! We also explored some of the pretty towns like Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Chipping Campden. They had old churches, charming tea rooms, and little streams running alongside the streets.Our last stop was London, but in the city we had less time for scenic views and spent more time seeing famous landmarks like Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, and Big Ben. Still, on our day trip to Windsor we enjoyed the lovely views across theRiver Thames of Windsor Castle and Eton College. And we went boating one day in Hyde Park which had gorgeous gardens, meadows, and ponds.England has such a variety of breathtaking scenery packed into a relatively small island. From the craggy peaks and tranquil lakes up north, to the dramatic seaside cliffs and beaches along the coast, to the gently rolling hills and quaint villages inland - there is natural beauty everywhere you look. My family took so many pictures but they just can't capture how magnificent the landscapes were in person. Hopefully someday I'll get to go back and experience England's scenic splendors again!篇6England's Beautiful SceneryHi there! My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about the amazing landscapes across England, the country where I live. Get ready to be wowed by rolling green hills, towering cliffs, glistening lakes, and so much more!Let's start our journey in the countryside. One of my favorite places is the Cotswolds, a gorgeous area with little villages built from honey-colored stone. The cottages have thatched roofs and pretty gardens. Surrounded by gentle hills and meadows, it lookslike something out of a storybook! I love exploring the narrow, winding lanes and spotting sheep grazing in the fields.Another amazing countryside spot is the Lake District in northwest England. With its soaring mountains, deep valleys, and glistening lakes, it's a true hiker's paradise. My family and I have climbed to the top of peaks like Scafell Pike and taken in the breathtaking views across the rugged landscape. The lakes like Windermere are perfect for boating, swimming, and picnicking too!While the countryside is beautiful, England's coastline is just as incredible. I'm in awe of the massive white cliffs towering over the ocean at places like the Seven Sisters in Sussex and the White Cliffs of Dover. They look almost glowing against the blue water. My brother and I have so much fun hunting for fossils in the rocks along the beach.Up in Northumberland, you'll find sweeping sandy beaches and mighty castles perched right on the seaside. We visited Bamburgh Castle last summer and I felt like a real princess exploring the ramparts and towers. Just down the coast is the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, only accessible when the tide is out. It's such an otherworldly feeling walking across the ancient pathways!From coastal scenes to rugged moors, England has so many different and amazing landscapes. In the heart of Yorkshire, you can roam for miles across the wild, windswept North York Moors bursting with purple heather. Or head to the rocky peaks and deep valleys of the Peak District, with endless opportunities for rock climbing, caving, and more adventures.My family took a trip to Cornwall recently, all the way down in the southwest corner of England. The coastline there isjaw-droppingly beautiful, with crashing waves, secret coves, and picturesque fishing villages like Port Isaac. We loved exploring the incredible beaches and sea caves. And the area around St. Michael's Mount, with the medieval church perched atop a little tidal island, felt almost magical.I've only scratched the surface when it comes to England's incredible scenery. From the rolling Chiltern Hills to the ancient woodlands of the New Forest, the diversity of landscapes seems never-ending. I feel so lucky to live in a small but amazingly varied country with such natural beauty around every corner.Whether you love hiking up craggy peaks, strolling along sandy shores, or just admiring the patchwork of green fields, England has scenery to suit every taste. I can't wait until I'm old enough to start really exploring more of this country's treasuresfor myself. For now, I'll keep convincing my parents to take me on as many UK adventures as possible. With its history, culture, and landscapes all woven together, England is a real-life storybook waiting to be discovered!。

The general election is technically divided into two stages. During the first stage, presidential electors for each state will be chosen. In the second stage the electors meet and vote a President. Since the second stage is only a kind of formality, everyone knows who will be the next President an soon as the first stage is over.I think the candidates spend too much money on the electoral campaigns.

How did the U.S constitution lay the groundwork for American’s economic development ?The U.S. Constitution, as an economic charter, established that the entire nation was a unified or "common" market.

However, Americans continued their profitable trade with the warring countries. Therefore, they not only retained their military forces, but also accumulated great wealth.

To win a presidential election, a candidate has to spend millions of dollars, travel all over the country to make speeches and debate on television with the rival. The general election is technically divided into two stages. During the first stage, presidential electors for each state will be chosen. In the second stage the electors meet and vote a President. Since the second stage is only a kind of formality, everyone knows who will be the next President an soon as the first stage is over.I think the candidates spend too much money on the electoral campaigns. And, the election cannot solve the social and economic problems of the . as some candidates do not keep their word after they become President.2. What was President Eisenhowers foreign policy and what were the consequencesPresident Eisenhower made vigorous efforts to wage the Cold War.

Why does America try to reduce trade barriersBecause the united states has increasingly realized that open bilateral trade will not only advance its own economic interests, but also enhance domestic stability and its peaceful relationship with other nations.1. How did the constitution lay the groundwork for American’s economic developmentThe . Constitution, as an economic charter, established that the entire nation was a unified or "common" market. There were no tariffs or taxes on interstate commerce. It provided that the federal government could regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the states, establish uniform bankruptcy laws, create money and regulate its value, fix standards of weights and measures, establish post office and roads, and fix rules governing patents and copyrights.
