高一英语作文：我的家乡MyHomeTown(优秀20篇)

Home of the most round moon, home of the most tea, home of the most alcohol, home food, the most impressive.

I was a Hakka. I left my hometown Meizhou from my childhood. I followed my parents to this strange land and opened up our new home. As I grew up in this new environment, the impression of my hometown was gradually blurred. But in my mind, it cant forget the hometown dish of my childhood taste buds.

Many home dishes are famous far and near, and those special flavors have attracted a lot of people. One of the most famous dishes is "Mei Cai Braised Pork", my dad is a generation old Hakka love. Although it sounds like this dish seems to be difficult to get in good taste, but this dish is representative of Hakka peoples diligence and frugality quality.

My father said, "our hometown is Mei Mei Cai Braised Pork" single dishes there are many complicated steps. When the farming harvest, the farmers harvest the mustard, then put it in the sun to matured, and then take the food to the ground, arrange it, and sprinkle a lot of salt on it. According to my father, when they were young, they were trampling the dishes with clean feet after the salt was sprinkled. After the tread, put it in a vessel to a degree, then take the steam, then take the sun... So the three steamed three sun, the earthly plum dried vegetables!

"Mei Cai Braised Pork" another character is meat, meat to choose "pork fat pork". Making this dish, put the Mei food dry cleaning, cut thin pieces, the fat basin under the streaky pork belly pieces, Mei dish, steamed for a long time, fat oil seeping into the plum dried vegetables, plum dried vegetables fragrance dipped into fat, opened a pot. Hot, delicious food Braised Pork pan mei! A pot of delicious food Braised Pork Mei can eat for a long time, because the salty, not perishable. A small pinch to the bowl, the fragrance of the four spilled, can pick up a few rice, that taste, to taste to understand. Such a dish reflects the diligence and frugality of the Hakka people, which is the favorite of the Hakka people.

When I heard my Dad talking about his hometown dishes, dad was fun, innocent, and rich in homesickness. In my fathers age, and cant eat "Mei Cai Braised Pork", to wait until the new year will kill pigs, so have a good heart is also waiting for Spring Festival to eat.

In my opinion, McDonalds and Kentucky fast food are far more infatuated than this dish. Maybe it is because I have not experienced the father of that era, cannot understand a dish not easily won; perhaps because there is no contact with the home, can not understand the charm of home cooking; perhaps because now no children of that age as difficult as father, do not know how precious home cooking. But from my fathers love for home food, I read the charm of my hometown cuisine, and I also fell in love with home food.

Home of the most round moon, home of the most tea, home wine is the most alcohol, home food is the most lingering.

The majority Han Chinese have long followed the tradition of eating laba rice porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The date usually falls in min-January and is a traditional Chinese festival.

Legend about the origin of this festivity abounds One maintains that over 3,000 years ago sacrificial rites were held in the twelfth lunar month when people offered up their prey to the gods of heaven and earth. The Chinese characters for the hunt and the twelfth month were interchangeable then, and ever since la has been used to refer to both. Since the festival was held on the eighth day of the last month, people later appended the number eighth , giving us the current laba.

Buddhism was well accepted in the areas inhabited Han Chinese, who believed that Sakyamuni, the first Buddha and founder of the religion, attained enlightenment on 12/8. Sutras were chanted in the temples and rice porridge with beans, nuts and dried fruit was prepared for the Buddha. With time the custom extended, especially in rural areas where peasants would pray for a plentiful harvest in this way.

There is, however, another touching story. When Sakyamuni was on his way into the high mountains in his quest for understanding and enlightenment, he grew tired and hungry. Exhausted from days of walking, he passed into unconsciousness by a river in India. A shepherdess found him there and fed him her lunch.

站在萧瑟的秋风中，仰望着蓝天上的一行孤雁，不禁想起了的老师，怀念起了那个旧日夏天。落叶声敲打着我的心，叩开了我锁藏的记忆，一切宛如昨日。

记得那是初二的下半学期。那时，我很内向，没有一个知己，而且我的学习成绩也不如人意，所以在一次自由组合的调位中，没人愿意和我同桌，我只得被调到最南排且是倒数第二的位置;从此，伴随我的只有孤独和泪水。无一技之长的我，只够得上个观众的份。

一天，英语老师让我起来变换一般疑问句，我慢悠悠的站起来，两眼直勾勾的望着老师那和蔼的面庞，一声不吭。这样持续了有两分钟，老师以为我不会，认真仔细地给我讲了一遍，然后说：“听懂了吗?”我依旧不吭声。

老师有重新讲了一遍，又同样用同样的目光看着我，我依旧一言不发。我原以为老师会让我坐下，可老师并没让我坐下，而是又讲了起来，且引申到所有一般疑问句，那架势好像如果我是榆木车子也要让我转一转。毕竟已进入6月了，老师汗流满面，可是丝毫没有表现出对我的失望。不知是被老师的热心所感动，还是良心的发现，我终于挤出一句话：“我会了，老师。”

顿时，老师脸上洋溢出含笑的温情。而我却哭了，为自己的不懂事而哭，为老师的那一个微笑而哭。事后，老师对我说，知道那天我是装的，故意说不会，还说知道我为什么这样做，但这样做只会害了自己。求知识不能不明道理，以后的道路还依旧坎坷。最后，她送我一句话：“既然不想失败，就不要把阴云带到明天。”

在那个成熟、丰收的季节，怀念那个炎热的旧日的夏天，让人永远难忘。老师，你放心，我会成为时代之海的掌控者。将来的路，依旧坎坷，依旧曲折，而我，也依旧掌控一切。
