Beautiful Winter

There are four seasons a year, and each season has a different view, but I like the winter with its beautiful scenery.

Winter, with the snow falling down, floating to the treetops and the roof, the earth becomes white. On the outside, you will see the snow slowly falling down from the murky sky.

Snow falls on the tree girl; it seems she is putting on new white clothes. The snowflakes fall on the roof of the house; the house seems to wear a white hat. The snowflakes fall on the road, the road seems tied in a white scarf .The snowflakes fall on the earth, the earth seems to be covered with white wool.

I love snow, I love snow, what I love best about winter is the snow, the center of the season’s soul. Cold as winter is, it has unparalleled warmth and hope.

The Secret of Winter

What color is the winter? You will say that it is white. Yes, I think so.

Here comes the winter. The leaves are blown away in the wind, deep into the mud of the earth, prepared for another spring.

Fallen leaves return to the roots. Geese fly to the south. The coming of the winter, the children look forward to snow, which brings their joy.

The snow falls in the silent night, drifting on the roof of the house, in the big yard, the trees. In an instant, the world is white.

Day breaks. The children push the door open to see the continually falling snow outside. They can't help stretching out their hands to touch the snowflakes. Snow held in their puppy-fat hands melts into water.

They hold a small shovel and begin to make a snowman. Their simple pleasure lets the winter fill with happiness.

This winter, we are not alone, because the snow accompanies us wherever we go.

Winter

Time is like an arrow. Winter is coming unconsciously.

Winter is a season in which all people have a great amount of spare time to do what they like to do. If you are fond of reading, you can read some books which interest you. If you prefer doing some exercises, you can choose several exciting and interesting sports, like skiing, playing badminton, running, etc. Most importantly, we can make a snowman with our families and friends, which is the most special and meaningful thing in the winter.

Winter is also a beautiful season. Snow falls on branches of trees, on roofs of houses and on wheat fields. Soon the whole earth is dressed in white. Because snow fills and calms the world, our hearts become more pure and quiet.

Therefore, I think that the winter is the perfect combination between having a good rest and entertainment. I love winter, how about you?

The Sun and Snow

1. The first snow in the first ray of sunshine

They meet by chance

They greet each other gently

2. The second ray shines gently over the quiet snow

They penetrate into each other

They’re friends

The friendship is like sweet wine

3. The hot sun burns the earth

But, the snow is willing to be addicted to the hot sun

It doesn’t want to wake up

That’s the spirit of love

4. The setting sun leaves afterglow in vain

Ice changes into water

Both reflect the color scarlet

It’s made of years of red wine

It feels sweet

It’s affection, real love

Winter Sunlight

In the early winter morning, unlike the previous desolation,

through the curtains,

I see the warm sunlight outside,

so soft and bright.

Like warm smiles of the elderly

warming the desolation of the winter;

Like beautiful music,

telling the rhythm of the winter;

With a rocking chair and a book in hand,

I bathe in the caress of the sunshine, thoughts flying.

The Snow Prince

The snow flying

Flakes of snow falling

Fall on your hair and shoulders

You don’t flick them off

Just raise your head to see

The wintersweets burst into blossom

A shallow smile spreads over your face

You are like a snow prince

Handsome and suave

Far from having enough of watching you

Dare not to approach

I just want to be a snowflake

Melting on your lips

Memory of the Snow

A glittering and translucent world came up into my eyes when I opened the window. A whole night passed, the snow made quiet children noisy. It did strike me and remind me of my hometown’s heavy snow.

The Spring Festival was approaching. Large snowflakes in the sky began to fall like it did on the eve of 2010. My friends and I got up early before dawn. All of us had dressed up in new clothes. By then, the accumulated snow on the ground was five centimeters deep, and the snowflakes were still floating in the sky. When you stepped on the snowfield, you can hear the specific sound clearly. Finally, we walked together on the snow, laughing and talking until the sun rose. The snow is meaningful to me.

Although I’m grown up now, and sometimes I can't follow my bent like carefree children can, I still won't stop loving the snowflakes. I hope that I can come across snow everywhere. It makes me smile lightly at the bottom of my heart.

A Boy Standing in the Snow

There is a boy standing in the snow.

His smile resembles the sunlight in warmth.

There is an elk beside him, quiet and gentle.

A beam of sunlight shines on his face.

It makes him squint.

He stretches himself, as if to say, How comfortable it is!

After a while, snowflakes begin to fall.

The fairies of the snow are singing.

But their voices are so soft that only some can hear.

I love the winter, not because of what winter is like,

But because the winter’s sun is shining on you,

And the winter’s snowflakes are singing for you.

White Miss

Ten years ago

There was no time for recreation

no time to accompany you through a winter

Until one day

I found your notebook

filled with feelings

missing me

Snow in winter is boundless white

Snow in autumn is really rare

Leaves are not attached to the tree

Snowflakes are not confined to the sky

Snowflakes fall one after another

My limitless yearning

my memories of you

no one can figure

Darling, you are here.

Snowflakes

Snowflakes flying all over the sky

I am just one of them

Spotless, white and free

In the process of flying only I am special

I don't want to touch companions

Though they are talking and laughing

There is no trouble with them

I feel very relaxed

Finally, we will fall together

I still keep the beating of my heart

Companions will lie down on my body

And some cover me

I can't move

Eyes are full of darkness

But I am satisfied with this state

Until the sun rises

I have to change myself

To me, water is a terrible word

Some kids make a snowman

Let me fragment

I still smile for my rebirth

And other broken fragments come together

I become whole

Look, I am so complex

Don't want to connect to them

While needing their help

I haven't the original me

Leaving only one heart

Missing

What a stormy winter, all the roads are covered with snow.

And even your letter is tinted with it.

Everything is like snow, no traces of melting

Like the wind passing no shadows.

I had never stopped missing you,

Not for a moment.

The Winter's Tale

November is the beginning of the winter. In most people’s eyes, it is cold and bleak, desolate. But in my memory, winter will warm me up.

My home is in the northeast. It's a good place because it can make people happy. The biggest feature is the people's accent. I spent my childhood in my grandparents’ home.

Every winter, my grandpa would pull my hand while we took a walk. We walked the road, leaving a long string of steps in the snow. We jumped, sang songs, threw snowballs, and so on. Now my grandfather is gone; he passed away three years ago. Too many memories come to my mind.

Winter, for me, is a picture—the most beautiful memory in my life. I love winter, and I miss my grandfather.

Foreign Language Teacher

It was the first time that I had met the foreigner who is my foreign language teacher. From that moment when she came into the class, my mood really became excited, and I focused on her.

Although she spoke English that I didn't understand all of, she was still very interesting to me. After my entrance to this university, I had not spoken English for three months. I was very eager to communicate with her. But, at that moment, I found my spoken English was quite poor, so I made up my mind to speak English fluently as soon as possible. If I could improve, I knew that I could communicate with foreigners like my teacher better.

My foreign language teacher looks easy-going, and I got a sense of kindness when I saw her for the first time. She has the appearance of most foreigners, with big eyes, brown hair and white skin. Also, she got our class into an interesting group discussion, which was different from traditional teachers.

Last but not least, she got me more interested in English. I hope that I can improve my English with her help.

Friendship Between Men

I leisurely watch the clouds rise and fall.

I sit and feel the winds come and go.

The street lights shine like the Milky Way.

Barking dogs seem to say, all’s quiet and getting dark.

Starlight shines in the distance

Snow flies in my world.

We cried, laughed, sang and were reticent in those days.

As the songs ended, we spread out somewhere in the world.

We four checked up on one another.

Although we are separated, our hearts stay closer.

We miss each other, wordlessly.

This is friendship between men.

A Joke

The weather is very cold in winter. I heard my Grandfather call me as I got ready to go to sleep. He said he had a secret to tell me. So I had to climb up and to his bedroom to talk to him. When I asked him what the secret was, he said, smiling, “I’ll tell you tomorrow, because it’s too late today. Turn off the lights before you go.”

Suddenly, I realized I’d been tricked, and I went back to my own room.

Something AboutWinter

I can remember a lot of things about winter

when my hands are cold, we can eat hot pot together

lettuce, broccoli, golden mushrooms and pieces of mutton

when the wind blows, we can go out and buy some sugar roasted chestnuts

husking and eating them always covers our hands in ashes

when there is nothing to do

we can peel back a large grapefruit’s skin

sour, sweet, then bitter

just like our love

I always think of your eyelashes in the winter

why did you disappear?

now I have nothing to eat

only chewing the remembrance of things past, slowly

Dreaming Sleep

A dream is a journey

The appearance of the sea

Can’t be seen

Snowflakes fading

Melting, oh

Into your eyes

Into your forty years of memories

A dream is a journey

The appearance of the sea

Can’t be seen

The wind with the horn

Escaping into your sleeve

It’s galloping and shining

The white light is dazzling

The old door is half-open

Steam over the stove

Red with burning coals

You are sitting around the fire

Smiling in your sleep

A dream is a journey

The appearance of the sea

Can’t be seen

You are singing

Drinking

And chatting

The train is roaring past

Pages are flying

The end of this time

Is you

Father and Daughter

Winter is the last season in the whole year. When the winter is coming, the leaves will fall from the trees. Most flowers have died away. And the weather is getting colder and colder. Although we wear too many clothes, we still feel cold. So, there are many people who don’t like winter. However, I am interested in the season, and love it deeply.

When I was seven years old, I woke up ill in the middle of the night. I cried loudly. Hearing my voice, my parents got up right away, opened the door, and asked why I cried. I replied to their question. After they listened to what I said, my father embraced me and ran with me to hospital.

It was snowing at midnight. My father ran in the snow and wind, embracing me. The ground was slippery, and my father took a fall. Seeing this, I told my father I could run on my own. But my father said, “My daughter, the ground is slippery and the weather is cold, let father embrace you." At the moment, tears wetted my eyes.

Winter should have been cold, but my father’s affection for me warmed it.

Winter

Winter is a beautiful season, although there are no charming flowers, or spectacular lightning and thunder, no tempting fruits. But, it has its own characteristics.

The cold wind is howling, which seems unreasonable to the poor pedestrian’s hair, and feels like needles and thorns on their skin. People are madly helpless, having to be buttoned up in clothes and wear thick scarves around their necks, trapped. However, the pine trees on both sides of the road stand with fine figures, and are proud to welcome the wind, frost, rain and snow, inspiring people to advance bravely.

Winter is very cold. Honestly speaking, I don't want it to come, but when it comes, I have a strangely positive feeling. Ah, I love the winter very much. I love its strength and character.

Winter

When winter comes, the grass hides itself deep in the earth. The sun is covered with grey clouds. The river is frozen. A lot of people are playing games outdoor, and some of them are skating, some of them are skiing, and the rest of them are making snowmen. Although the weather is cold, people don’t feel cold. Their faces are filled with happiness. They are addicted to the winter, and enjoy themselves in it. I like winter, people always think winter is cold and white, but I don’t agree with them. I think snow is the most important part of winter. Snow is dancing in winter. The whole world becomes a beautiful picture in my head. Snow flies and people are happy with snow. Smiles fill everyone’s faces. That’s my dream of winter.

Winter in Your Company

In no season other than winter, it has been said that the season is sad, which leaves a deep impression on us. A poet said “love is a touch, yet not a touch.” I agree with the sentence.

Sometimes, winter is like a picture in my heart. In the middle of this picture stands a girl who is as pure as an angel. However, she looks extremely helpless. She stares into the distance without moving. Simple as this picture is, the symbolic meaning behind it is deep as an ocean.

Love is a touch, yet not a touch.

Winter in My Eyes

I think winter is a beautiful season, especially when it snows. In my opinion, snow is not only a symbol of winter. Of course, I am no exception.

Every year, I am looking forward to the arrival of the first snow, imagining that we will play in it. We make the footprints in the snow. We always play outside, have snowball fights, and make snowmen. Look at the snow dance in the air! Everywhere is part of the same white picture. The cold air is filled with the taste of happiness. I have to say that the charm of the snow is infinite. It not only lets me forget difficult thoughts, but also it gives me a simple pleasure. I am very grateful to the snow, and look forward to each arrival of it. Waiting for the snow to come is my happiness.

Snow is all that is beautiful in my eyes. We are young and beautiful in the snow. Although I don't like the cold of winter, I like the beautiful snow.

Listen to the Sounds of Winter

The sky is blue and bluer. The earth is vast with quietness, holding the sun, listening to the sound of winter.

Winter, like a piece of elegant classical music, quietly speaks, like the little bit of sunshine appearing on the lake, and like the branches hanging full of notes.

The quiet flow precipitates the quietness and purity at the bottom of hearts.

Winter, is like a fairy tale world, flying from the sky. Snow hides the secrets of life; Winter is vast, quiet snow that proudly put the beautiful flowers to bed.

Walking on the ground in winter, listen to the sound of winter, do you hear it?

Winter Comes

Winter’s coming makes me very happy. The beauty of winter is the stars. If winter comes, snow is falling... I like to see snowflakes flying freely against the yellow halo in the sky. I like the white and shallow footprints snaking into the distance. I like snowflakes lightly crossing cheeks, then falling on the palm, melting slowly. I like watching the ice flowers on the glass through the high French window. My hometown in winter is my favorite, of course. It is like a poem, a glass of mellow wine. I can't taste it, but deeply fall in love with it anyway. If winter comes, it must gradually disappear, too. But winter will come again next year.

Snow

This winter is as cold as in previous years, and I'm looking forward to snow. If there is no snow, winter is not like winter.

In my opinion, the snow is not only beautiful, but also pure. Snow is able to wash away the dust in the world. However, there is no snow, and I feel very sad. I like the snow very much. This Christmas is without snow, but Santa Claus has come on time. In my dreams, I heard the sound of his walk. Something was placed on the left of my head. When I woke up, I found a big red apple on my pillow. This is a surprise! I feel very happy. I know Santa Claus is my roommate!

I love this Christmas, even without snow!

The Winter of a Foreign Land

The winter in Nanyang is not like in Puyang; here is more similar to the warmth of the south. I had never lived on campus before, but I'm not a homesick person. I have quickly adapted to the life here, and I get along well with others.

I'm looking at the Xizi Lake through the window of the dormitory, looking at the branches of the trees, but no thought comes to me, and I am so alone. In Nanyang, there is no snow in winter this year, which is a little regretful. The hazy weather feels discontent without snow. My hometown has snow every winter. Every time it snows, I prefer to walk rather than stay at home, listening to the song, “The Miracle of December” from EXO, and leaving two rows of oblique footprints in snow behind me.

The winter of Nanyang seems to accept everyone who stays in her arms, especially the winter sunshine, which shines on me gently. When I look up, there is light which can be stared at.

Every moment I look up at the sun, I have the confidence to moving forward, for the sunshine can break through the haze upon earth. I can't do great things like this, but I can try my best to do something I'd like to do.

In this winter, I have grown up and become different. The sun of this season has taken away all the bitter coldness of the foreign land I stay in.

I Love Winter

In winter, we have to wear thick coats against coldness which make us look like fat bears. We'll also be equipped with woolen gloves, scarfs, hats and sometimes masks, so that cold wind has the least access to our bodies. Controlled by the high-pressure air, much of the weather in winter is fine. And with the temperature below zero, it brings snow sometimes. Then it must be the happiest time for kids. Having an exciting snowball fight or making a beautiful snowman is the fun only for winter. In some districts with extremely low temperatures, when the river water gets iced up enough, skating is the best activity. Those who skate well, or not, will both have a good time.

But the above takes place in the north of the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, like Australia, it is the other way around. Winters in the north are very cold during the evening and very windy during the daytime.

I usually look forward to the Lunar New Year’s Day and the winter vacation, when I can go to a village where the climate is warmer during these holidays. Also, I look forward to seeing my grandmother, great-grandmother, and my friends in the village; I like my grandmother's food very much.

Winter is the time that everyone is in a festive mood. In the city, I usually do a lot of reading at home in the winter, because of the cold weather outside.

Winter is quite cold in my hometown. The temperature is usually below zero. The ground is covered with ice and snow. People have to wear sweaters and thick clothes when they go out. But I still love winter. We children can have snowball fights with each other and make snowman. We can also go skating outside. It's quite fun. I enjoy it very much.

Winter is the ring of the mind, winter is a wonderful wizard, and winter is a lovely elf! I love winter very much, though it is very cold…but it has unparalleled warmth and hope!

The Snow of Winter

In the night, wind chills, interrupting my thoughts.

Night white is under the streetlights,

In the hazy air,

I don't know whether it is rain or snow,

Taking away the endless thought.

Step on the pavement with fallen leaves,

The rustling, accompanied by a sigh,

In the coldness,

Eliminate.

When yesterday is gone,

We were not, we were.

You are in the distance,

And I also have left.

The distance in the snowflakes

Swept our loneliness for each other.

When the night falls,

When the snow falls,

At that time,

We still walk on the way home,

With constant laughter,

Love is forever.

If the time didn’t fly,

We could be here in this winter,

Laughing together.

There are four seasons in a year

Each season has different scenery

But I like winter best

The night wind blowing

Get up to look out of the window in the morning

Gentle snow all over the ground

White heart

The melting moment

Locked in the gazing eye

Listen without great voice

In the eye, clean

Turn around, the vast field is white

In the deep snow

It can’t cover the footsteps of chords

Neither the black nor white fragments

The yearning at the bottom of my heart

In the sunshine

Under the gentle care

The gloss of snow

Always makes me think of you

The radiance of a smile

The Warmth of Winter

In my memory, the winter in my hometown was so cold. But it gave me unlimited warmth in my spirit.

In my childhood, when the winter came, my feet were frozen. I bounced on the stairs in front of the door so that I could make my feet warmer. But the method didn't work. The best warm time was every evening after I washed my feet with hot water, and put on the cotton shoes made by my grandmother. My heart was warm.

There was a moment that left a great impression on me. I often think of that moment, which was quiet and wonderful. It was a sunny day during the winter. The sunshine lit up the kitchen through the screen of the windows. I even could see some dust jumping in the sunshine. Grandfather, grandmother and I got together to cook the meal. The steamed buns were sweet, and I was glad to wait for them. That table and sunshine still appear in my imagination after many years. They are so real, but far away too.

Winter can also surprise me. On winter mornings, I pushed the door and I saw the world was surrounded by snow. I visited my home and village. There wasn’t any noise or annoyance. There were crows and bark in the white world, and my heart was relaxed and happy.

Recalling the winter, my childhood and wonderful times in it, I am full of my attachment and deep love.

Fall in Love with Winter

The autumn has gone, the winter comes quietly.

When the winter comes, everything seems to be silent. The leaves leave trees. The grass turns gray and disappears. Even the sky looks as if it was washed in gray, and there is no trace of birds. The water freezes everywhere. Everything seems to be passive, waiting for the coming of spring.

However, some beauty still exists. Enjoy the wonderful snowy scenery! The snowflakes are light and noiseless as they float down. The entire world wears a white overcoat. You see, the plum blossoms are in full bloom in freezing winter. The pine trees and cypress are still green. They are extraordinary brave. They gave us positive energy!

The scenery is extremely beautiful, and people are lively in the cold weather. The most exciting thing is to make snowmen and have snowball fights with friends. Some people may also love going skiing or ice- skating.

Yes, it is cold in winter, but we can still feel the bloom of warmth, and stay positive in the weather as the pine trees, cypress and the plum blossom do. We might as well get rid of our cold-weather laziness and do some outdoor activities to welcome the coming of spring.

Let's fall in love with winter and find its beauty!
