My hometown
My hometown is a beautiful city with a long history. Many changes have taken place in my hometown over the years.
Years ago, we had clear blue sky. The air was fresh.We could smell flowers and hear the birds sing. But now there is too much traffic on the roads ,so the air pollution has become more and more serious.What’s more, people is not healthier than before.
It’s time for us to take action to improve the situation. We should stop factories putting the waste into rivers. We should also encourage more people to go to work on foot. We can plant more trees to make the air fresh.
We believe our hometown will be more and more beautiful.
