I have been away from my hometown     26     twenty years ago. I go back to my hometown only     27     a year. I often miss it, because it’s the place that     28     all my childhood. Let me tell you something about my hometown.

My hometown is a very beautiful city with much     29    . There are many     30     people.     31     can have a big fight there. There are also many places of     32    . The places in different     33     show you different kinds of scenery. Every year there are many     34     there. If you have time, please come to my hometown. You will be     35     at what you see.

While cleaning those photos on the room wall, I stopped before a color painting. 3.It’s a picture of an old house which was pulled down.

Warm memories continued to flow (流动) freely as I stared at the house that my parents lived in for 23 years, and it was also the place where I grew up to be 18.

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon. My sister and I wanted to play on the swing (荡秋千). Dad went to the mall near our house and returned with a swing set. He put it between the trees in our back garden. A few minutes later, we were happily swinging in the garden—laughing and screaming with delight over the boring afternoon.

Last Christmas, just when we moved to the new house a month later, I had another painting done. This is one of the new house’s. It is hung right next to the old one, and between them there is a silver heart that says, “Home is where you you’re your heart. 4.It doesn’t matter even if your house is small. It takes love, laughter and joy to make a house a home.”
