五、My beautiful hometown
My hometown is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice. There have been a lot of changes in my hometown.
In the past, there were several barren mountains and a dirty river in my hometown. There was much rubbish and people lived a hard life. It was a poor and backward little town.
But now, there are green mountains, clean water, fresh air and lots of birds and flowers. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theaters have sprung up one after another. The life of the people has greatly improved.
I love my hometown and its people. We are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful.
