A
There is always a special place in people's hearts. For me, the place is my hometown. Every time I think of it, the sweet memories will appear in my mind.
I grew up with my grandparents in a small village far away from the city. They always told me interesting stories after dinner. They made me laugh. I really spent a relaxing childhood there. In the early morning in summer, I liked to take a walk with my grandfather. After the sun came out, I often played games with my friends. And we always played outside until the time of sunset. During the winter season, the road often became icy easily after heavy snow. My friends and I were excited about the snowy days because we could have a snowball fight. After having the snowball fight, we usually drank some hot chocolate in the yard of my home.
Now I live in the city and I can hardly see snow. The city is usually crowded, so even though it snows, there is no space for me to play games. It's true that I miss the old days in my hometown. No matter how far I go, it always holds the most memorable and beautiful part of my life.
