Changes in our Hometown

　　In the past ten years,great changes have taken place in our hometown.Take my family for example.My parents contacted others mainly by sending them letters in the past,but now we call long distancd at home.And once my parents listened to radio for news and other information,but now we watch the news and other programs on TV.Another big change is in the housing conditions.When they got married about ten years ago,my parents lived in a samll room crowded with furniture,but now we have moved intwo a big new three-room apartment.

　　In short,changes in our hometown in the past ten years have brought us comfort and convenience.

　　My hometown

　　My hometown, which is in the south of shandong province, is a very beautiful village. it lies on the east bank of a small river, surrounded by green mountains, in the past my hometown was poor, and people led a hard life. they couldnt afford to send their children to school. but ,great changes have taken place in my hometown in the past twenty years. many families .have not only color tv sets, but also telephones, fridges, computers, and so on. new roads, houses, schools, hospitals have been built. people in my hometown are working hard for a better life.

　　My hometown

　　My hometown is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice. But in the old days it was a poor and backward little town.Many people had no work. They lived a hard life. In 1949 my hometown was liberated. Since then great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theaters have sprung up one after another.The life of the people is greatly improved. I love my hometown and all the people there. They are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful.
