Answer

The Changes of My Hometown

In the past , My hometown was very small. 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 clearer and the sky bluer. There are trees, flowers and grass everywhere. People live a better life.

Their houses are larger and bright. Many people have their own cars. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world come to visit our city.

I'm sure my hometown will become better and better in the future.
