2017专八作文范文：旅游使我们心胸开阔

　　It has become a fashion for us Chinese people to go traveling during the long holidays in recent years. People either travel abroad or go sightseeing within the country. In fact travel has already been turned into a part of our life. The significance of travel is obvious—it can broaden out mind.

　　It is quite definite that travel can broaden out mind. Last summer, I visited Taishan Mountain, a world known natural scenery, and QuFu, a world famous historical and cultural city. On the top of Taishan Mountain I was deeply moved by the natural beauty, picturesque scenes and especially the inscriptions carved on the rocks by so many historical figures, who so profoundly expressed their love of our country. In QuFu I was thoroughly attracted by our great culture and long history of civilization, especially the school of elite, of whom Confucious was the greatest educator. I felt very proud of cultural lineage. As a student of English from a Normal university, I was determined to introduce our great country with so many natural sceneries and so many places of historical relics to the world.

　　As an old saying goes: traveling ten thousand miles and treading ten thousand books is the top ideal for people. Travel really opens our mind because it enables us to know about the beautiful scenery, the long history and the great culture of a nation. Remember every time you travel around you will experience something new in mind.
