Describe the changes in your home town using the expressions in this section.
There is just one best place for everyone, that is his native town. My hometown is called Nan Ba(南坝), which means a flat land at the north foot of Sheng Dun mountain, one of the major towns in Xuan Han county historically.
I can still remember what the town looked like 10 years ago. It’s only a small town, poor and backward.
Assignment
Thanks to the government, my hometown has undergone rapid development. There’s been a huge change. Now, students go to school by bike or pared with the past, students went to school only on foot. There are plenty of swimming pools and shopping centres. What’s more, it is a very special place — one of the sources of the West-East gas pipeline now. It’s the heart of natural gas in eastern Sichuan Province.
I love my hometown, it’s developed into a modern city.
