    我国的物产丰富。粮食、棉花、蚕丝、茶叶等的年产量，在世界都居于前列。在茂密的大森林里，还有全世界小朋友喜爱的大熊猫、金丝猴。

    我国矿产资源种类多，分布广，储量大。有蕴藏丰富的煤、石油、铁、铜等。还有许许多多资源等待我们去勘(kān)探、开发和利用。

    我国的山河壮丽。世界第一高峰——珠穆朗玛峰就矗立在我国的西藏边境。还有巍峨挺拔的泰山，景色迷人的黄山。世界著名的长江、黄河浩浩荡荡地流入大海。波光粼粼的太湖，水平如镜的西湖，像一颗颗明珠把祖国点缀得格外美丽。气势雄伟的万里长城，更是我们伟大祖国的象征。

    我们在祖国怀抱里成长，非常幸福。我们为有这样可爱的祖国而自豪。
