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
我的家鄉是拉薩，它位於世界屋脊。我認為拉薩是世界上最美麗的城市之一，它的周圍是高聳入雲的山脈，幾乎你天天都能看到湛藍的天空，拉薩河圍繞著這座城市緩緩地流淌著。
拉薩是一個傳統和時尚的結合體。
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、經濟中心，並且有許多聞名遐邇的名勝古蹟，布達拉宮雄偉壯觀，金碧輝煌，是一個值得一看的地方，我認為它是西藏人民獨特藝術成就，而且拉薩市的建築、雕刻和繪畫是西藏人民勤勞、勇敢和智慧的結晶。
其次，自改革開放以來，拉薩發生了很大變化，許多新事物層出不窮，改變了拉薩的面貌，古老與現代並存。
