My home town is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.

　　我的家鄉是一個美麗的地方。它坐落在一條寬闊的河流旁邊，盛產魚和米飯。

　　But in the old days it was a poor and backward little town. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life.

　　但是以前它是一個貧窮落后的小城鎮。很多人都沒有工作。他們過得很艱辛。

　　In 1949 my hometown was liberated. Since then great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have sprung up one after another. The life of the people is greatly improved.

　　1949年我的家鄉解放了。自那以后發生了很大的變化。街道已拓寬。工廠，學校，醫院，電影院和劇院如雨后春筍般涌現出來。人們的生活大大改善了。

　　I love my hometown. All the more I love its people. They are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful.

　　我愛我的家鄉。我更愛那里的人。他們努力工作來讓家鄉變得更加的富裕和美麗。
