      我的故乡在广西，我爱故乡的漓江。

      春天，原野上的春色，把漓江打扮得更美丽。绵绵细雨，增大了漓江的水量，催开了两岸鲜艳的野花。随着气候转暖，来漓江旅游的人越来越多。漓江像一条友谊的带子把祖国和世界人民连在一起。

     夏天，漓江的水更清了。人们有的在江中游泳，有的在江中划船，有的玩水球，漓江洗去了人们的疲劳，使人感到轻松愉快。

     秋天，桂花开了，漓江两岸飘着醉人的桂花香。我们放学后，荡着小舟在漓江上游玩。那两岸的青山分明站在我们面前，同学们兴奋地抢着划桨。
     冬天，漓江因为旱季到来水变浅了，水是那么清，山是那么绿。江畔的柑橘树已挂满了累累果实，人们开始紧张地收获。

漓江一年四季都很好。我喝漓江的水长大，一定要把漓江建设得更加美好。
