Autumn is the best season of the year. The beautiful scenery adds to the charm of autumn. Let's put down our smartphone to enjoy the fresh air,colorful leaves, fregrant flowers, clear river and blue sky. Besides, it is a time of harvest. We can enjoy a lot of fresh grains, vegetables and fruits. When we enjoy these, we should be grateful to the hard work of people from all walks of life, among which are our parents. We should work hard, too.
