Today, my friends and I decided to take a visit to an old town which was near our city. We had heard of it for a long time, but we never had the chance to go there. A week ago, I happened to read an article about the old town. I was so curious and wanted to see it. It took us two hours to reach there. The town was separated from the city by the mountains. It was so quiet and the trees were green. I was very impressed by the clean river, which showed the town was unpolluted. The house was old style but I liked it a lot, and all the things here were so beautiful.
My home town 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 theaters have sprung up one after another.The life of the people is greatly improved. I love my hometown and all the people there. They are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful.
There is an old Chinese saying that the moon in the hometown is full. Everytime when I go back to my hometown, I will think of this saying. Indeed, the moon in my hometown is much clear and bigger. The most important factor is that the sky is not polluted seriously, so I can see the blue sky. Unlike in the cities, the buildings are tall and people’s visions are covered. What’s more, there are so many factories setting out the gas that pollutes the air. When I stay in the city, I will miss my hometown, not noly the beautiful scenery, but also the clean moon.
Going South by Driving the Chariot North Once a man wanted to go to the south, but his carriage was heading north.A passer-by asked him:' If you are going to the south, why is your chariot heading north?
The man answered,"My horse is good at running, my driver is highly skiled at driving a cariage, and I have enough money. The man didn't consider that the direction might be wrong: the beter his conditions were, the further he was away from his destination.
