my hometown

　　my hometown is lhasa, the largest city on the roof of the world. it is the heart and soul of tibet. i think lhasa is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. it is surrounded by towering mountains and rarely a day goes by when you don’ t see the deep blue sky. lhasa river is flowing quietly around the city.

　　lhasa is the mixture of tradition and fashion.

　　firstly, lhasa has a long history. it is the political, cultural and economic center of tibet. it has lots of famous sights to offer. the potala palace is the most famous, a magnificent and wonderful place to look at. in my opinion it is a unique artistic achievement of the tibetan people. likewise, the architecture, carvings and paintings throughout the city show hard work, wisdom and bravery of our people.

　　secondly, led by the reforming and opening policy of china, lhasa has changed a lot. many new things have arrived up here, changing the face of the city. the old and new lie side by side in lhasa.

　　many new buildings, schools and roads have been built here. furthermore, the qing—zang railway leading to lhasa is being built. many shopping centers have been opened, and modern technology like telecommunications is spreading. the whole city looks prosperous, and our tibetan people take on a new look. every festival, people walk around freely on the new, wide and smooth streets, wearing the beautiful traditional costumes.

　　right now, i am looking forward to a festival called shodün which comes in june for eating yoghurt. at this time, all my family and i gather for a picnic together at the norbulinka, a famous garden. in the garden, we sing tibetan songs, dance “guo zhuang” on the grass; eat zanba, drink butter tea and barley beer on the beautiful carpet as well. we enjoy our life. i think that this festival exhibits the open-minded and optimistic character of the tibetan people.

　　finally, “i love my hometown. i love the people in my hometown.”.

　　thank you.

　　我的家鄉(xiāng)

　　我的家鄉(xiāng)是拉薩，它位于世界屋脊。我認(rèn)為拉薩是世界上最美麗的城市之一，它的周圍是高聳入云的山脈，幾乎你天天都能看到湛藍(lán)的天空，拉薩河圍繞著這座城市緩緩地流淌著。

　　拉薩是一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)和時(shí)尚的結(jié)合體。

　　首先，拉薩有悠久的歷史，燦爛的文化。拉薩是西藏的政治、文化、經(jīng)濟(jì)中心，并且有許多聞名遐邇的名勝古跡，布達(dá)拉宮雄偉壯觀，金碧輝煌，是一個(gè)值得一看的地方，我認(rèn)為它是西藏人民獨(dú)特藝術(shù)成就，而且拉薩市的建筑、雕刻和繪畫是西藏人民勤勞、勇敢和智慧的結(jié)晶。

　　其次，自改革開放以來，拉薩發(fā)生了很大變化，許多新事物層出不窮，改變了拉薩的面貌，古老與現(xiàn)代并存。

　多種風(fēng)格的建筑拔地而起，現(xiàn)代化的學(xué)校被建起，寬暢的公路被修建，通向拉薩的青藏鐵路正在施工，現(xiàn)代高科技在拉薩延伸，整個(gè)城市呈現(xiàn)一派繁榮景象，拉薩人民呈現(xiàn)新的面貌，每逢節(jié)日，他們穿著節(jié)日盛裝，自在地走在大街上。

　　現(xiàn)在我正期待著雪頓節(jié)的到來，這個(gè)節(jié)日在六月初，是一個(gè)吃酸奶的節(jié)日，當(dāng)這個(gè)節(jié)日到來的時(shí)候，我和我的家人、朋友聚在一起在有名的公園—“羅布林卡” 里面野餐。我們?cè)诓莸厣弦黄鸪馗瑁伹f舞;踏著美麗的藏式地毯吃糌粑、喝酥油茶和青稞酒，享受我們幸福的生活，我認(rèn)為這個(gè)節(jié)日展示了西藏人民開朗、樂觀的性格。

　　最后，我想說“我愛我的家鄉(xiāng)，我更愛我家鄉(xiāng)的人民。”

　　謝謝!

　　扎西德勒!
