I will introduce you my hometown in Washington State!

Usually when I say “Washington”, people automatically think I’m talking about Washington, D.C. No! The USA has two Washingtons. Mine is on the other side of the country.

Even my Chinese students love a couple of things from Washington without knowing it. You might recognize a couple of Washington’s contributions to the world. Washington is known for being a state with beautiful scenery full of mountains, lakes and evergreen forests.

In my hometown, it usually rains all through the fall, winter and spring months, leaving us three months in the summer of beautiful sunshine. However, the seasons tend to be pretty mild. We have hot and cold weather but it’s never too extreme(极端的). In the mountains we usually get some great snow, and so lots of us go snowboarding, skiing, or snowmobiling during the winter months.

During the summer, we like to spend time outdoors. We might go hiking or go to the beach. While the beaches in Washington and the next-door state of Oregon don’t quite compare to the beaches in California or Florida, they still have some pretty natural scenery.

I’ve never been the type of person to settle down in one place. I love seeing and trying out new locations, and I’ve lived all over the country. However, if I was the settling-down type, I’d probably choose Washington!
