Years ago, most people lived in small old houses. They used to listen to the radio or watch TV in their free time. But now most families have computers. They can surf the Internet. Moreover, a lot of people like to go out and enjoy the latest films in the cinema.
In the past, people could only travel by bus or bicycle. But now they can go around by bus, taxi, train or plane. In the near future, they can even travel by underground. It’s fast and easy to travel to Lianyungang.
In a word, life in Yangzhou is better now than before. I’m proud
of Lianyungang.

The changes in my hometown.
Many changes have taken place in my hometown over the years.
In the past, people used to live a poor life. They lived in old and small houses. There was rubbish everywhere. And the roads were narrow and tidy. It was not easy to travel. People usually travelled around the town on foot or by bike.
Now it has become a beautiful town. Most of people have moved into new neighborhood and lived in modern flats. The environment is nice. And the air is fresh and clean. Roads are wide. There are many tall buildings on both sides of the road. People travel by bus, by subway or by high-speed train. Many people have bought their own cars.
My hometown has become a modern town. I’m proud of it.
