二十年后回故乡

今天是一个特别的日子，我作为全国教育代表团成员之一，去参观阔别二十年的母校——中牟县直一小。

Today is a special day. As one of the members of the national education delegation, I went to visit my alma mater, Zhongmou No.1 Primary School, which has been away for 20 years.

走在宽阔干净的道路上，望着街道两边林立的高楼大厦，我有一种陌生的感觉。那时的小县城已经变成了一个现代大都市。

Walking on the broad and clean road, looking at the tall buildings on both sides of the street, I have a strange feeling. At that time, the small town had become a modern metropolis.

啊，那不是母校的牌子吗！校长在校门口迎接我们，原来现在的朱校长就是我五年级的语文老师。看到朱老师，我不由得想起了那时的情景：她有光滑的披肩发，她整天要求我们背这背那，当时我真是烦透了。如今回想起来，那时背的东西可真是我一生的财富。我的成功真的饱含了朱老师的许多心血！如今岁月的秋霜染白了她的双鬃……“梦娜，想什么呢？”朱老师的叫声拉回了我的思绪。

Ah, isn't that the sign of your alma mater! The headmaster met us at the school gate. The original headmaster Zhu is my fifth grade Chinese teacher. Seeing Miss Zhu, I can't help but think of the situation at that time: she has smooth shawl hair, she asked us to carry this back all day, at that time, I was really bored. Now in retrospect, what I carried at that time is really the wealth of my life. My success really contains a lot of hard work from Miss Zhu! Now the autumn frost has dyed her mane white "What do you want, Mona?" Miss Zhu's call brought back my thoughts.

校长带领我们参观校园，正对大门的是一条宽阔的林荫大道，道两旁种的是长青树。一排排现代化的教学大楼座落在路的两侧，每个教室都装有空调，电视，饮水机。看孩子们聚精会神的听课，我非常激动。五一班在上英语课，外教正在和孩子们口语交流呢；四三班在上多媒体课，同学们像看电影一样开心地学习课文《钓鱼的启示》；六一班在上电脑课，一人一机在练习……

The headmaster showed us around the campus, facing the gate is a broad boulevard with evergreen trees planted on both sides. Rows of modern teaching buildings are located on both sides of the road. Each classroom is equipped with air conditioning, TV and water dispenser. I was very excited to see the children listening attentively. Class 51 is having an English class, and the foreign teachers are communicating with the children in oral English; class 43 is having a multimedia class, and the students are learning the text "Enlightenment of fishing" as happily as watching a movie; class 61 is having a computer class, one person one machine is practicing

学校在变化，故乡在变化，整个伟大的祖国都在变化。我爱你，故乡——中牟！我爱你，伟大的祖国！

The school is changing, the hometown is changing, and the whole great motherland is changing. I love you, hometown - Zhongmou! I love you, the great motherland!
