More than twenty years ago, my hometown was just a small , old and poor town. Most of people were farmers. There were few factories. The people didn’t have enough food to eat and wore old clothes. They had a hard life .

Great changes have taken place in the past twenty years . The people have found a lot of ways of making money . Now there are many tall buildings . They are very beautiful . Roads are wide and clean . People can take buses or drive their own cars to go to work . Many people have cell phones and personal computers. People’s living conditions have improved a lot . Thanks to the government’s efforts . my hometown is becoming more and more beautiful .

二十余年前，我的家乡只是一个又小又老又贫穷的小镇。大多数人是农民。有少数工厂。人们没有足够的食物吃，穿旧衣服。他们过着艰苦的生活。

在过去的二十年中发生了巨大的变化。人们已经找到了不少赚钱的方法。现在有许多高楼大厦。他们都非常漂亮。道路宽阔整洁。人们可以乘搭巴士或自己开车去上班。很多人都有手机和个人电脑。人们的生活条件改善了很多。由于政府的努力。我的家乡变得越来越美丽。
