Roads, buildings, transportation...
Listen to the tape and answer the questions below.
Has Sunshine Town changed a lot
Yes!
Millie wants to write about the changes in Sunshine Town for her history project. Daniel's grandpa, Mr Chen, knows a lot about Sunshine Town, so Millie is interviewing him to get some information.
Millie: Do you know Sunshine Town very well, Mr Chen
Mr Chen: Sure. I've lived here since I was born.
Millie: Have you ever moved house
Mr Chen: Yes. I first lived in the northern part of town with my parents.
When I got married in 1965, my wife and I moved two blocks
away and we've lived in this area since then.
Millie: Has the town changed a lot over the years
Mr Chen: Yes! We only had some small restaurants and shops years ago. And
we had a post office and a cinema in the town centre. Now the
government has turned part of the town centre into a new park.
We have a new theatre and a large shopping mall too.
Millie: Was pollution a problem then
Mr Chen: Yes, it was. There was once a steel factory near the Sunshine River.
They often put the waste into the river. Later the government
realized the problem and took action to improve the situation.
Now the river is much cleaner.
Millie: Do you think life is better now
Mr Chen: Well, in some ways it is. It's really nice to have a beautiful modern
town. However, most of my old friends have moved away. It has
become impossible for us to see each other as often as before. We
used to play cards and Chinese chess together. Now I feel a bit
lonely from time to time. Anyway, it's good to see the amazing
changes in the town.
