　　The Changes In My Hometown
　　In the past, my hometown was very small, and people lived a poor life. The houses were old and small. Pollution was very serious, and there was rubbish everywhere. The traffic was not convenient, so few visitors came here.
　　Now great changes have taken place in my hometown. The environment has become more beautiful. The mountains have turned greener, the rivers are clearer and the sky are bluer. There are trees, flowers and grass everywhere. People live a better life. Their houses are large and bright. Many people have their own cars. Every year , thousands of people from all over the world come to our city.
　　I’m sure it will get richer and more beautiful in the future. I love my hometown.

　　我家乡的变化
　　过去，我的家乡很小，人们过着贫穷的生活。这些房子又旧又小。污染非常严重，到处都是垃圾。交通不方便，所以来这里的游客很少。
　　现在我的家乡发生了巨大的变化。环境变得更加美丽。群山变得更绿，河流更清晰，天空更蓝。到处都是树、花和草。人们过着更好的生活。他们的房子又大又明亮。许多人有自己的汽车。每年有成千上万的人从世界各地来到我们的城市。
　　我相信它会变得更加丰富和美丽的未来。我爱我的家乡。
