Changes my hometown

My hometown has changed a lot over the years.In the past, there used to be old houses. The river was very dirty.  We could hardly see the blue sky. But now, there are many tall buildings in my  hometown.  The river is clean and the water is clear. There is less pollution than before.

When I was young, the roads were narrow and the transportion conditions were hard. People went to work on foot or by bike. It took a lot of time. As time goes by , those has changed. TaiZouStation andTaiZou Airport have been in use for several years.There are many ring roads People usually go to work by bus or by train even by plane.

It was hard to keep touch with others in the past. But now we can talk on the phone, we can also surf the Internet to send mails or to chat on line. It is very esay.

Now we live a happy life .To keep healthy , many people take an active part in sports.

I am glad to see these great changes in my hometown . I hope my hometown will be better and better.
