My Beautiful Hometown
My hometown is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice. There are a lot of changes in my hometown.
In the past, there were several barren mountains and a dirty river in my hometown. There was much rubbish and people lived a hard life. It was a poor and backward little town.
But now, there are green mountains, clean rivers, fresh air and lots of birds and flowers. The streets are much wider. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theaters spring up one after another.
