Iowa-- ice city

I was looking for a lot of pictures in China about Iowa, most of them show that this is a city with snow as its clothes. It has the terribly low temperatures during the winter with freezing rain and snow.
Those terrible things just happened these days, but I enjoyed those ice even it is easy to fall down. The ice covers everywhere, especially trees. They have the pretty clothes to decorate themselves. They are the most beautiful scenery in this city.
I love them, love the feeling they give me~so I took a lot of pictures with them and keep them in my mind. I hope to see this kind of scenery somedays after because they are melting now~ I want to keep them even the temperature should be pretty low, but I can bear that I'm sure :)
Yeah, hmm... I think ice is the most attractive thing in iowa~ My favourite~ ha~

Appositive

I'm sorry I hand in this late.. I really don't know how to expain that even in Chinese^^But I searched some information about that online, they are useful.
A noun or some other forms modify another noun then restrict or illuminate it, the noun or the form can considered to be an appositive. Sometimes it can stress the tone of the sentence. It is hard to find the difference between appositive clause and attibutive clause in grammar. Such as the word "that", it has no exact meaning in appositive clause, it is used for linking and leading the clause. But in attibutive clause, "that" is an element of the clause and it can be omitted when it is the object of the clause. Now I can use some example to explain the appositive clauses.
1.Yesterday I met Tom, a friend of mine.
Here, "a friend of mine" is modifying "Tom" so that "a friend of mine" is the appositive of "Tom".
2.How can a solution be found to the current disease of contemporary society, namely the international economic crisis?
This is a non-restrictive appositive clause. Sometimes we will add something in the sentence so that it is clearer to show the non-restrictive character in the sentence.
These are all my understanding of appositive clause or appositive. :)
I hope I explained them well. :P

My hometown

My hometown is a big city in China. The capital of Henan provice. It has a perfect transit system and it becomes better and better during these years.

In the past, my city Zhengzhou was not that famous. We did not have many high buildings and many cars. The only thing we have was our large population.

When I was a little kid, I would love to go to the park with my mom. Because of her work, my mom could only go there with me during the weekend. However, the park was crowded and it was hard for us to play some amusement facilities:(

I did not have a lot of memories for the past of Zhengzhou, I was seeing a process of Zhengzhou's development. It has more lights on the street, it has more buildings all around the city. It becomes more and more attractive these days.

There is a new area building now near in my city. There was a place that nobody paid attention to. But we choose it to be the new centre of our city, and it is building now. The east part of our city is the most well developed place, so we need the centre to move to the more eastern place. In the future, we will have a pretty good city centre which has fashionable buildings with lakes and my city will attract more people come, it will be more and more beautiful and our qualities of life are become higher and higher.

I hope when I graduate from my university in UI and go back to my city, I will see a different city with a well developed.
