我的家鄉馬鞍山(My Hometown Mount Maanshan)

　　My hometown is Mount Maanshan. Have you ever been there? Mount Maanshan is very famous for its beautiful scenery, excellent climate and long history.

　　Mount Maanshan stands on the south bank of the Changjiang River and the east of Anhui Province. It has many nice scenic spots,Thousands of people from other parts of China and foreign countries come here every year, especially in summer.

　　Summer on Mount Maanshan is very cool. It can be called a huge natural air-conditioner in summer; Winter here is nice, too. Heavy snow falls every year. I want to say that"Mount Maanshan in summer is green like a clear fountain, and in winter is white like a white jade."

　　I'm sure you will have a wonderful time in my hometown..

　　我的家鄉(My Hometown)

　　In the east of China, there is a small city---Haimen. I was born there. Today, I am telling you about my hometown. Haimen is not far from Shanghai. It’s at the mouth of the Changjiang River.

　　Haimen is a modern city. There are lots of high buildings in it. Most of us live in flats. We like to live in flats because we can be close to our friends. In the center of Haimen, there are many shops. You can buy some nice things here. Things in most shops aren’t expensive. You can pay a little money and they are yours.

　　My hometown is a beautiful city. On each of the roads, there are some big trees and nice flowers. The roads are also very clean. They make people happy and comfortable. The seasons here are very nice. I like autumn best. It’s neither hot nor cold. A poem says “Flyer of summer come to my window to sing, then fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, just fall there with a sign.”

　　It’s very cool.I love Haimen. It’s a nice place to live. Welcome to my hometown.

　　我的家鄉(My Hometown)

　　My hometown is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice. But in the old days it was a poor and backward little town. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life.

　　In 1949 my hometown was liberated. Since then great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have sprung up one after another. The life of the people is greatly improved.

　　I love my hometown. All the more I love its people. They are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful.

　　我的家鄉是個美麗的地方，它座落在一條寬寬的小河旁邊，富產魚和大米。 但是在過去它是個又窮又偏僻的小鎮。很多人沒有工作，生活很難過。

　　1949年解放以來，我的家鄉發生了很大的變化。道路拓寬了，工廠、學校、醫院、電影院和歌劇院一個接一個建成。人們生活質量大大地提高了。

　　我愛我的家鄉，更愛家鄉的人們。他們辛勤工作保持著它的富有、美麗。
