If I could go back to some time and placein the past, I would choose to go back to my childhood in my hometown asfollowing reasons. First and foremost, childhood, as I see, isthe most enjoyable time during one’s life. All things I need to do is to studyand play. Given that I do not have to deal with academic workload such asendless assignments and examinations in an unfamiliar city, studying is quitedifferent from what I am doing now. In addition, playing takes over almost thewhole day. After school, I could go to the park with my classmates, walking bythe lake and the rockery, and I could smell the fragrance of flowers and grass,hear the cries of birds and feel the bracing breeze on my face. Sometimes I wouldplay football with boys, and more frequently, I would chitchat with girls.Everything seemed perfect and wonderful. What’s more, when I was 10 or 11, I hadmuch spare time. I often killed the time by developing my hobbies. I wastalented in playing the piano so I spent tons of time on it, which brought me agreat deal of pleasure. I played in the morning, in the afternoon, and even allday. I just fell into it and did not have to think whether I had not enoughtime for self-study, which, basically, accounts a large part of my life now. Inmy memories, never would time be run out. As a college student, I alwayscomplain that time is not enough because too many urgent tasks I am facingwith, not to mention developing my hobbies---taking a sip of coffee may be myonly interest. Another thing I want to mention is that theworld of children is really innocent. For me, I learnt a host of nicepersonalities such as loyalty, honesty or persistence from my parents andfriends. With time flies, good is easily switched to evil and truth is easilyswitched to fault. When we are grown-ups, we recognize the pessimistic part ofit and lose our premier positive energy. The last things I want to take aglance is that home is always a warm harbor for everyone and parents are alwaysthere for us when we look back. I left hometown for my college study butsometimes I do not feel that I am a part of the city. All feelings can be describedas the old saying---East, west, home is the best. If only I could go back to my childhood andgo back home! These good memories can never fade away and I definitely willkeep them in mind.
