The Changes in My Hometown
In the past, my hometown was very poor. People lived a hard life. The roads were narrow and there were many old and broken houses. There were no supermarkets or hospitals. People had to go to far - away places to buy things or see a doctor.
However, great changes have taken place in my hometown these years. People's lives are much better now. The roads are wide and clean. Tall buildings can be seen everywhere. There are big supermarkets and modern hospitals. People can buy whatever they want easily and get good medical care.
I'm really happy to see these changes. I believe my hometown will become more and more beautiful in the future.
