“我”愛(ài)北京，不僅僅是因?yàn)楸本碛忻匀说木吧?，還是因?yàn)椤拔摇痹诒本┦斋@的寶貴情誼。

1Beijing helped make my dreams come true.When I studied in Beijing,it heard my voice,accompanied me through the sunrise and sunset,witnessed my joys and sorrows,healed my pains,and gave me courage to move forward.

2The beauty of Beijing is deeply engraved(銘記)in my mind.Against the red walls and green tiles（瓦）of the Forbidden City,sparkling snowflakes float down from the sky,falling into the hands of a woman in attractive hanfu.Seeming slightly melancholy （憂郁）,she looks far ahead,lost deep in thought.Like a classic image of a costume drama,such scenes often spring to my mind.

3To me,who grew up in the tropics,snow seems as appealing as the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden.After a night's snow,everywhere magically becomes as beautiful as a fairy tale.

4Did you see the first snow in Beijing in the winter of 2020-2021?I saw it and touched it in person.Located in the outskirts of Beijing,Beijing WTown(北京密云，古北水鎮(zhèn))is a small town with many of the architectural features of the classical gardens in the historical city of Suzhou in eastern China.When snow fell,it looked like an exquisite landscape painting.On one side of the bridge,a boatman bellowed songs down the river.His resounding(響亮的)voice seemed to drive away the icy wind while attracting tourists.On the other side of the bridge,a pair of black swans swiftly glided by.I still feel warm when I recall the scene now,and words cannot adequately express my feelings at that time.A scene like this is capable of relieving any amount of stress for tourists.

5I love Beijing not only for its fascinating sights but also for the precious friendship I established with international students studying here.Beijing is a place where students from various countries meet.Although it often seems like destiny when we meet,parting remains inevitable.Even though all good things must come to an end,everything has its season,and the time to come together will come again.Without sad goodbyes,our first impressions remain the freshest.

6Many other moments inspire me to express my feelings to Beijing.I know that these memories will eventually dissolve into fragments（碎片）of time,but so what?I love Beijing,always have and always will.
