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。它毗鄰一條寬闊的河流這里盛產魚和大米。

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

　　但古時代，這是一個貧窮落后的小城鎮，許多人沒有工作，他們過著艱苦的生活。

　　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。自那時以來已經發生了很大的變化。街道被拓寬，工廠，學校，醫院，電影院和劇院如雨后春筍般涌現了一個又一個，人民生活得到很大提高。

　　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。所有我愛的人。他們辛勤工作保持著它的美麗和富饒。
