The winter in my hometown(家乡)is beautiful,but the most beautiful scenery is rime(结晶).

　　Rime is also called Shugua.It lasts(持续)from November to March the next year.

　　When night comes,the temperature(温度)falls,the surface(表面)of the river feels like boiling water(像开水),the rising steam(水蒸气)is like heavy smoke.At this time, frostwork(霜花)is hanging on the branches one layer after another(一层压一层挂在枝条上),at last the whole tree is covered with white.

　　At this time,also the foreign tourists(外宾)can't wait(迫不及待)to take photos.They keep on saying(不断地说)："How beautiful!"

　　I want to say to all the friends all over the world(全世界),"Welcome to my hometown!"
