Loving One's Country 爱国

Since I went to school, the teachers always told us to love our motherland, because we were born here and its culture was very profound, so that we also should be proud of being part of it. I kept this in my heart, but one day, I read some negative information from foreign websites. These articles criticized China and the government. What’s more, there were so many foreigners making bad comments about the Chinese government, some even to criticized the people. But as our country became stronger and more foreigners came to visit, they started to change their idea and fell in love with this big old country. I realized that no country was perfect, even America faced many problems. We have the long history and different culture, which make this country so attractive. I love my country. 
自从我上学以来，老师总是告诉我们要热爱自己的祖国，因为我们出生在这里，而且它的文化也是非常源远流长的，所以我们也应该为成为它的一部分而感到自豪。我一直铭记于心，但是，有一天，我从外国网站上看到了一些负面信息。这些文章批评中国和政府。而且，很多的外国人对中国政府做出了不好的评论，有些人甚至批评人民。但是随着我们的国家越来越强大，越来越多的外国人来访，他们开始改变他们的想法，爱上了这个古老的大国。我意识到没有一个国家是完美的，即使是美国也面临许多问题。我们有着悠久的历史和多元化文化，使得这个国家很有吸引力。我爱我的国家。
