The Changes in My Hometown

Now, tall buildings have taken the place of the old houses. The roads are wide and clean. There are more trees and flowers. People can go out by bus, car or subway easily. The environment is much better.
I'm really happy about these changes. They make our life more convenient and comfortable. I believe my hometown will become more beautiful in the future.
