新疆之冬
【内容提示】
人们一提起新疆，总以为那里的人“不文明”，更认为那里荒凉无边，天寒地冻。其实，大西北并没有那么可怕。不错，深冬季节，户外的温度在深夜会降到摄氏零下30度，但是家里的温度总保持在摄氏零上25度在右。请你接着这个思路，按下面的提示往下写。注意要写成一篇描写文。
①这里的人家大都有暖气或火炉。
②一场大雪之后，在白茫茫的大地衬托下，漂浮在空中的从烟筒里冒出的褐色烟尘就是一幅状况景象。
③冬天的新疆是孩子们的天堂。雪后，他们在户外尽情玩雪。
④新疆人勤劳好客，冬天他们会拿美味可口的羊排招待你。
以下词语供参考：
1．inner a．内部的；里面的
2．uncivilized character不文明的特征
3．paradise n．天堂；乐园
4．mutton chops 羊肉排骨

Winter of Xinjiang
Don't think that inner Northwest China is as terrible as I believed just half a year ago. Generally, people think of the vast desert and the freezing cold as well as the “uncivilized character”of the local people at the mention of Xinjiang. It's really a great misunderstanding. It's true that the outdoor temperature sometimes drops to-30℃ in deep winter, but this comes late at night when you are already in bed. The temperature in the house is always about 25℃.
Most people here have heating in their rooms. Those who don't have central heating can have as much coal as they like for their fireplaces① and stoves②.Coal is very cheap even in the most distant countryside.
You will be surprised at the first sight of a heavy snow fall. When you get up the next morning, you will see that the ground is a vast blanket of whiteness. With the white ground underfoot, and the chimneys here and there sending out brown smoke into the clear blue sky overhead, the whole scene may match the most beautiful moving picture in the world.
Winter in Xinjiang is a paradise for children. Whenever there is a heavy snowfall, children will stay outdoors, running, shouting, playing games. To them, the most exciting game is a snowball fight. They even play football on the snow-covered ground, not just boys, girls too! Their shouts are heard from time to time.
Children here also like to go skating. Their fine skating skills make grown-ups from the inland envious③ of them.
The local people in Xinjiang are hardworking and hospitable④. If you come to Xinjiang for a visit, you will have a chance to taste the local dishes. The Xinjiang mutton chops are really delicious, especially in winter.
Xinjiang is developing rapidly. Come and have a look, my friends. You will enjoy your stay here. Whatever you do, don't miss the winter of Xinjiang.
