谁不说俺家乡美，山美，水美，人更美我深深地为家乡的美景所陶醉。

古井边的柳树，率先报告了春的消息。鹅黄的嫩芽，就像天上的星星；婆娑的枝条在春风中飘舞，如同邻居家三姐那满头的乌黑的秀发。娇燕翻飞，穿梭于柳枝间，衔泥于井台旁，开始了新生活的第一步——筑巢。望着伶俐的小燕子，我的心早已随他们飞到了那蔚蓝的天空，徜徉于美丽的白云之巅。

清凉的井水把我从云端拉了回来。邻家的大婶从古井中汲出了甘甜清凉的一桶水，不长时间，就被我们几个调皮的孩子连洒加扬的喝了个精光。那种畅快劲，至今还在心底不住的回味。

山草随着雨季的到来，越发的青黑浓密。此时，挎一个篮子，三五成群的钻进参天的松林中，没入比我们身子还深的草丛中捡蘑菇，就成了最开心的时刻。零星的蘑菇就像一柄柄紫色的小伞，傲然的挺立在树下，草中，只等我们把他们一个个的采拾到篮子里。蓝天白云，骄阳似火，大汗淋漓。可是篮子里的蘑菇却蹦蹦跳跳的伴我们回家了。得到的自然是母亲亲切的笑容和邻家大婶不住的夸奖。

千里冰封，万里雪飘。淄河水在冬爷爷的怀抱中睡熟了，变成了一条晶莹的，明如水晶般洁白的飘带。有气无力的阳光，对沉睡醉的冰河无奈的叹息摇头，一晃就不见了。此时的冰河却人声鼎沸，万头攒动。平坦的地方有是抽陀螺比赛的，先比谁的陀螺精致，美观；有的小伙伴用彩色粉笔画了几个圆圈，转起来像天上的彩虹在飞舞；有的在尖端镶上一颗钢珠，转动灵巧快速斜坡处，是滑冰表演：有单独冰上表演雄鹰展翅；有三人合作狗拉雪橇；有的干脆坐在木板上，骑在松枝上，顺着斜坡，飞奔千里

春天的绿柳。夏天的蘑菇，冬天的冰河，伴随我度过了短暂的童年时光，至今仍令我回味无穷，仍令我无限的陶醉！

我的家乡建湖，这里是历史悠久、人文荟萃、风景美如画的鱼米之乡。

我爱我的家乡，因为这里有尽忠报国的一代名相陆秀夫，着名的外交家乔冠华，有第一位登上太空的美籍华人王赣俊。

我爱我的家乡，因为这里有许多的风景名胜，有风景如画的双湖公园，自然天成的九龙口，绿意盎然的西塘河风光带。最有名的就是九龙口了，那里花草树木都生机勃勃，还有一个动人的传说呢，很久很久以前，人间有一条恶蟒在这儿兴风作浪，使老百姓不得安宁。后来惊动了玉皇大帝，玉皇大帝十分着急，就派出了九条神龙与恶蟒搏斗，形成了打斗的痕迹，由此，就变成了九条河流。

我爱我的家乡，因为这里有一个风景如画的双湖公园，那里有清澈见底的湖水，蓝天白云，茂密的芦苇，成群的鸭鹅，构成了一幅水乡美景图。坐上小船，划到荷花池里去采莲蓬，剥开枯萎的莲蓬露出了嫩白的莲子，让人真想咬上一口。再划到菱角丛中，去采菱角，翻开菱角的反面可以看到一颗颗像绿元宝似的菱角，如果你运气好的话，还可以看到一个个圆溜溜的鸟蛋呢！

我们建湖不仅风景如画，有照亮世界的节能灯具，走遍天下的森达皮鞋，还有晶莹剔透的藕粉圆呢！到我们建湖来的游客，一定会大饱口福的！

我爱我的家乡！

My favorite little animal - the turtle, I gave it a name called "Li Shijan", usually I call it "extension". It is not just a lovely shape and it can sometimes understand my words! Its head small, neck thin, but also carrying a bowl like the size of the shell, green, pointed little tail It is very interesting to start the road.

Although it is only a small animal, but it also has a good heart. Once a grandfather was hospitalized, it was hunger! Even if we had bought it the most favorite loach fish, it would not have eaten it. Until the grandfather half a month after discharge, it was happy to eat, when the devil is really like people love and pity.

But sometimes it is also "hateful"! One day, it is in the glass cylinder hold the uncomfortable to come out, I see it anxious look like to help it, I use the index finger and thumb carefully pinch its shell, light I did not want to come out, did not think that it was with a sharp claws to scratch me, really do not know good people! Although I am very angry, but to see it happy on the ground free to play everywhere, I am also happy for it The

This is my favorite little animal - the turtle "extension". Do you like it?

“轰、轰、轰！”震耳欲聋的鞭炮声把我从美梦中拉起。“哎，今天是什么日子？”哦！今天是大年初一，我一下子兴奋了起来，因为今晚可以通宵达旦地玩。我迫不及待地打开电视机，看了起来，遥控器的按键声接连不断、不绝于耳。

到了将近中午，爸爸妈妈才起来，妈妈赶紧打扮；爸爸赶忙拿出年货，啤酒、牛奶、金龙油、食品，一样也不缺，烟花爆竹一样也不少。什么都准备好了，可我还在虚拟世界里遨游。“快一点，我们要去吃酒拜年啦！”妈妈的一句话把我惊醒了。“什么，要去吃酒！”我从原来的兴奋一下子转到了失望，鞭炮声仿佛也不响了。失望的我只好极不情愿地跟妈妈去吃那厌人的“酒”了。

那平时僻静的小街在大年初一变得非常热闹，一个个店铺贴满了火红的对联和年画，人们都穿着鲜艳的新衣，拿着灯笼，放着鞭炮，路旁的小贩叫卖着。那喜庆的“倒福”，甜美的糖葫芦，火红的灯笼……路边鞭炮放完的残壳随处可见，到处都是大人们忙碌的身影和孩子们欢快的笑声。

到了下午，我们又去拜年，爷爷奶奶家，外公外婆家，哪一箱箱沉重的年货让我般得喘不过起来，可一想到可以拿到很多的红包，我咬咬牙，还是坚持了下来。

春节的家中也不同平日，晚上，我们一家又坐在电视机前看各种节目，我在茶几上摆满了食物，薯片、果冻、糖果、瓜子，一样也不少。我边吃零食边看电视，我完全被节目的内容吸引住了。那高超的杂技表演，令人捧腹大笑的小品和相声，还有精湛的魔术表演，那一个个细节都使我目瞪口呆。转眼间，节目结束了。于是，我和爸爸便下楼放鞭炮，那绽开的火花美丽极了。一直到了很晚，我才在鞭炮声中进入了梦相，不知东方之既白……

My Home Town我的家乡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 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.

我的家乡——方山，是一个很小的山村，就是在比例为十万分之一的江苏省地图上，也没有它的踪影。听到这个名字，许多人会说：“只听说过黄山、泰山、峨嵋山，却不知道哪儿有什么方山。”是的，方山的确名不见经传，然而，对于我们方山人来说，它却是我们祖祖辈辈赖以生存、得以发展的生命之山。

可是，不知怎的，我以前竟有点憎恶它。每当有人叫我是“山里人”时，我总认为这是它给我带来的耻辱。可是现在，当我远离了它，不再与它朝夕相伴时，才发现，它是我真正梦牵魂绕的地方。每次梦中看到它，回味不尽的是它的美丽、它的雄伟，以前的那些憎恶在脑海中却半点也浮现不出来。是的，它的确是美的，有儿童的欢笑作证，有青年人的健壮作证，更有老年人的鹤发作证!

木苍翠、百花喷香的春天，沉默了一冬的方山抖擞出了精神，那些小生命也活跃起来：野菊花、蝴蝶花、杜鹃花……争奇斗艳，开遍山野。在周围巨大“绿毯”的衬托下，越发迷人。一群群花枝招展的小女孩儿蹦蹦跳跳，拎着花篮，唱着歌，沿着小径上了山。顿时，寂静的山谷热闹起来，歌声、笑声、欢叫声交织在一起，在山间旋转萦绕。

野果飘香、山泉清澈的夏天，更是孩童的乐园：山脚的桑葚红得发紫，令人垂涎欲滴。摘下一粒放进嘴里，只轻轻一咬，汁水便染红你的整个舌头，那酸甜味儿让你回味无穷。若要问这方山上的土特产，杨梅可谓是当之无愧了：从山脚到山顶，这儿一群，那儿一簇，几乎到处都是。于是，我们这帮“馋猫儿”几乎天天往山里跑，直吃得肚皮发胀，再装上满满一口袋，才心满意足地下山。夏天的方山，除了吃的乐趣外，便是那许许多多的山泉。一汪清澈的泉水从拳头粗的泉眼中流出，似乎只有它耐不住这山间的寂寞，“丁丁冬冬”，一路歌唱，缓缓流去。看着看着，索性脱掉鞋袜，踩在泉底的鹅卵石上，一阵清凉从脚底一直延伸到心头，暑意立刻荡然无存。

云雾缭绕、茶香满山的金秋，是方山最忙碌的季节。满山茶叶，绿油油的，一个个伸着脑袋，随风有节奏地跳动着。家乡人用一双双灵巧的手摘去小小的叶芯，制成香味浓郁的“云雾茶”。因为方山顶终年云雾萦绕，空气洁净，便形成了“云雾茶”独特的香味和效用。这种茶不仅茶香浓郁，醒脑提神，更能延年益寿。这也是方山老人鹤发童颜的秘诀所在。（初中作文）

寒风凛冽、雪花纷飞的严冬，虽无景致可言，却是打猎的好季节。每当雪后，野兔、山鸡便会出来觅食，特别是素有“短跑健将”之称的野兔，雪稍厚点，便会陷在雪里，这是捕捉它的好时机。春节前下场大雪，集市上野味的数量就会陡增。买回去腌制好，便成了招待客人的上品。

啊，美丽的家乡，我是山中的一只小鸟，虽然现在为了求学暂居别人的巢，但我一定会回到你的怀抱。因为你是我的根、我的魂，是永远能给我力量的生命之山!

"Ah! My hometown has changed! "I cried with joy.

The change in my hometown is really big in these years! It used to be dirty and smelly, and there was a lot of junk in it. There were no trees on the hillside, only one tree stump. Around us there are some factory chimneys discharge smoke, gas, disorderly discharge, even lead to the surrounding trees, flowers and plants, all become withered yellow, often stink in the river, some fish died, rarely see the figure of a bird. Because of the bad environment, the air is seriously polluted and people often get sick.

With the improvement of peoples living standards, the awareness of the environment has improved greatly. Now people no longer throw garbage, factory construction also becomes a green plant, factory around trees and flowers in full bloom, the air becomes pure and fresh, the river water becomes clear gone, the water is very little fishes. Every year on March 12, people will plant trees with shovels and saplings, and now the trees are thick and the birds often sing on the branches. The environment is better, and peoples mood is better and healthier.

The changes in my hometown made me love my hometown more and helped me to study harder and work harder for a better home.

I opened my sleep mengs eyes, big had a stretch, casual to took a glance outside the window, but I felt very comfortable: see, the green fields like wool blankets, seem very soft. There are dozens of muddy paths in the field, separated by large peanut leaves.

There are several apricot trees along the edge of the field, and the yellow apricot trees are full of trees. The morning dew sticks to the apricot, which makes it look lovely and inviting. From time to time, a few fat sparrows were coming, and standing in the trees, chirping and whispering to each other; Or one or two big black birds, "woah, wow," and fly to the distance; Because of several nearby streams and ponds, also often have egrets pass by, so they are flapping wing of the white clean, gracefully and rest a while in the field, or fly directly to the side of the stream of fish to eat.

What a beautiful view! I kicked my slippers and walked slowly up to the field. The smell of incense came to me, I was intoxicated, I can not help holding a side of the MM and JJ, dancing. We whirled around in the field like a tornado, and the mud was whirling around and we were surrounded by mud...

In the afternoon, I first saw the sunset glow. Oh, that was a masterpiece of nature! The exotic glow of the glow of the earth, the cunning cloud, stole the suns gold gauze, triumphantly rode in the wind driven carriage, into the sunset clouds to show off their charm. The bright sunset clouds, like the red rose with crystal clear dew, open with enthusiasm; Like a girls bashful face, full of blush; Like a girls clothes, light and floating... It has red, yellow and purple colors, and sometimes it is a lovely red scarf, and sometimes it is a red mane horse with sprinted feet.

我的家乡美丽又富饶，要夸的还有很多很多……朋友，欢迎你来我们广饶。我会给你做向导，继续给你夸夸我的家乡——广饶。

我的家乡在台州，它是台州市政府的中心，这里有许多可值得让人观赏的风景。比如：江滨公园、东山公园、太阳城以及市民广场等等……最让我熟悉的地方当然就是市民广场了，那里风景优美，是平时人们比较喜欢去的地方之一。大人平时无聊的时候，可以在这里谈谈话，聊聊天，而小朋友们最喜欢的是这里的儿童乐园，儿童乐园的玩具可多啦！让这些小朋友们玩了以后都依依不舍地离开。

有一天晚上，我吃完晚饭后，对爸爸说：“我们晚上一起去市民广场玩可不可以。”爸爸毫不犹豫地答应了。过了一会儿，我们一家三口乘着爸爸的车走了。

一路上灯光闪烁，像银河从天而降，就这样在茫然中我们不知不觉地就到了市民广场。

当我们一踏进广场时，就会看到水池中央的那张电影布展现在我们的眼前，我们可以边看电影的同时，也享受着喷泉带给我们的优美画面。

还有每当夏天的时候，荷花池里的荷花从大圆盘里偷偷地钻出来，它骄傲地展开花瓣等待人们的观赏。

接着来到蹦蹦床的地方，我一直在蹦蹦床上活蹦乱跳，直到我玩得实在太累了才收手。当我来到了喂鸽子的地方，这里的鸽子多种多样，我买了两包小鸽子们喜欢吃的食物，先拆开，然后倒几粒手上，这时我心里有些胆怯，害怕鸽子的嘴啄到我的手，就扔在地上，这时，鸽子们就朝着我成群结队地围了上来，吓得我哇哇直叫，赶紧把这整包都扔在地上，接下来，我压了压胆，小心翼翼地倒在手上，把手放低一些，有的小鸽子就飞来了，我尽量壮着胆，鸽子们开始在我手上吃起食物来，把我手弄得痒痒地，真让我哭笑不得，这拉近了我和鸽子我距离，觉得鸽子也是挺可爱的。

夜幕降临时，广场上的景更加迷人，这就是我家乡的景之一——美丽的市民广场！
