Answer

Changes in my hometown

Great changes have taken place in my hometown during the past few years. In the past, the roads were very dirty and narrow. What’s more, there was rubbish everywhere. People lived in low houses. They could only listen to the radio or watch TV in their free time. There were a lot of open spaces.

But now the dirty narrow roads have been turned into wide clean ones, with green trees, modern shops and tall buildings on both sides of them. People here have moved into new flats. More people have bought their own computers, mobile phones and even private cars!

I feel satisfied with life in my new hometown. I will work hard to make it more beautiful in the future.
