【答案】
Great Changes in My Home Town
I used to live in a small town with trees all around. There were no tall buildings and the only street was narrow. Just outside the town, there was a river. You could see different kinds of fish swimming in the clear water. People there lived a simple life.
Great changes have taken place there. You can see tall buildings, big department stores and factories everywhere. Different kinds of cars and buses are running on the wide streets. But with the development of the industry, we have fewer trees. Air pollution and water pollution are becoming more and more serious. We must take action to reduce pollution and make our home town even more beautiful.
