My favourite childhood memory
I grew up in the beautiful seaside city .I could still remember the good old days. The sea I saw was pure , clean and blue, We could hear the cries of seagulls as they circled over the sea. In my memory , the sea and the beach were the most important characters of my childhood.
In summer, the weather was hot. I liked swimming with my father in the sea. It was so comfortable to swim in such a hot weather. We enjoyed ourselves .After swimming , we lied on the beach and breathed the fresh sea wind .
In spring , the weather was warm. I remember, under the blue sky , my dad and I ran hand in hand on the beach and sang the song “Twinkle , twinkle, little star . ” when we felt tired , we sat on the beach and watching the sunset .
In autumn, the weather was cool, we liked playing games with the sea . There’re many different kinds of shells on the beach , they made the beach more fascinating . We walked along the beach collecting small shrimps and crabs in a bucket , I left my tiny footprints in the sand .
In winter , the weather was cold , the sea was covered in thick ice all winter , Although we felt cold , we still skating on the sea . we made snowmen and had a snowball fight .
How times flies ! Now , I am get older . Last year, I went back to the sea side city , I was deeply impressed by the changes of the city . The factory insteaded of the beach , the sea was dirty and smelly because of the serious pollution . It will no longer be that beautiful .
The blue sea and the fascinating beach were disappear . but my golden childhood memory will never be lost.

There is only one word which can describe my childhood. The word is“carefree①”that so many today's kids② do not understand, although they have delicious food, beautiful clothes and pretty toys.
My parents never forced me to do anything. I recited a lot of poems and fine articles, but not for performing before their friends and our relatives, just because I enjoyed rhythms③ and words. So I never considered them a burden④. Later, when I was in the primary school, the homework was very few and easy to do, and I was never asked to be the top students.
Nor did my parents stop me from doing anything. After I finished my homework, I could stay outside for a whole afternoon to do whatever I liked. I used to go swimming in the river in summer, skating on the ice in winter. Sometimes I played basketball or football with my little friends. I could read any book, and my parents never examine it before my reading.
Sometimes I think my childhood was boring⑤and not unforgettable, but I was really carefree and happy then. What is more important than to give a child a happy childhood?
