One early morning on my way to work, I saw a little girl carrying a beautiful pink schoolbag.I could imagine that she must love her schoolbag a lot.It was so big that it could hold a lot of things.Since it had two wheels, it was easy to carry.“How wonderful!” I said to myself.
I remembered my first schoolbag was a green cloth(布) bag that my mom made for me.It took her a week to make the bag.After a quick breakfast, I said to her, “It's time for school.Bye, Mum!” I ran to school.At that time, my schoolbag was so light(轻的).When I jumped, it jumped.All things in it gave out cheerful sounds all the way along.
As I grew older, my schoolbag became heavier and heavier.And with years it lost its color and there were even holes in it.Finally it came to an end.When I was in Grade Four, my mother bought me a new schoolbag.It was yellow.It had a few pockets(口袋) and either side of the schoolbag could carry something.I was happy to go out every day with it.It seemed as if three miles of the trip to school were just a few steps away.To my shame, I lost it when I was playing in a park two years later.
Though my first schoolbag is small, it was made by my mother herself.It is the real pink schoolbag in my heart.I put it in a nice box.Every time I take it out to have a look, sweet memories come back.

When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees.My grandmother always took me to the orchard(果园) on the hill.At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill.Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village.They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals(灌溉水渠) and other projects began to be built in my village.“Who are they?” I asked.“They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school.The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return.We were surprised because everything had changed.The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore.The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it.When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples.She told us that after the water conservation project(水利工程) was completed, a policy(政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.
Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city.However, we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.
