71．例文
Changes in Our Life
Great changes have taken place in our life in the past few years.
In my hometown, people used to live in old and broken houses. Now, there are tall and beautiful buildings everywhere. In the past, people had to walk or ride when they went out. But now, they can take buses or drive to wherever they want to go. Several years ago, people could only learn from books. Nowadays, they can also learn through computers.
I hope people from all over the country can live a better life in the near future. And I will study hard and try my best to make it come true.
I believe that our life will be better and better.
