Many changes have taken place in my hometown over the years.
In the past, .... But now ....
the Changes to Nanjing
Nanjing is my home town. It is a place in South-west of Jiangsu. It’ s not far from Maanshan.
In the past, it was a quiet, natural and beautiful place. There were many green trees and old buildings here. The air here is very fresh. People used to travel on foot or by bike.
Now, the city has changed a lot. Trees and old buildings are becoming fewer . There are more new flats and buildings instead. The roads are much wider than before. People here can take taxis, buses or cars. Life is faster , easier and more modern.
Introduction
Main body
Ending
The changes have brought people many advantages but at the same time, they also have
caused many problems. There are fewer trees but more pollution. It is hard for people to find
good jobs. However, most young people feel happy because they can enjoy the modern and
colourful life.

Language points
1. There was rubbish everywhere.到处都是垃圾
everywhere的用法(高频考点)

I looked for it everywhere.我哪儿都找过了。
要点拓展 somewhere在某个地方,anywhere在任何地方,nowhere无处
/到处都无。
注意 everywhere通常用作副词,不要在其前使用in,at,to之类的介
词,也没有比较级与最高级。
