Today I want to talk about my hometown.Maybe not everyone of you can imagine what is it like in the deepest of my heart for me as an outlander girl who have studied in ChangChun for almost 5 years.During these five years,I just went back home four times during my winter or summer vocation,once a year on average.Last year I spent my whole winter
holidays,including the spring-festival,in ZheJiang province.Five years' of time is not very long,until I began to recognize that I has become so accustomed to the life here,even my accent has changed.The longer I lives here,the stronger the feeling is that I feel myself being apart from my hometown.When I go back to ChengDu,It's so easy for me to get lost,and I have to ask ways wherever to go as if I was a total stranger.It is such a pity that I want to catch every chance searching more about my city,and I'd like to present it to all my friends.
