【答案】例文
Dear Peter,
How are you doing? I am very excited to hear that you are interested in learning about my hometown. Let me tell you about the changes that have taken place here.
In the past, my hometown was not very big, and people lived a poor life with old and shabby houses. However, things have changed a lot now. The roads have become wider, and many people have their own cars. The living standards have improved significantly.
As for how middle school students can make our hometown better, I believe we can start by doing small things. We should keep our environment clean by not littering and participating in community clean-up activities . We can also promote environmental awareness among our peers and families. Additionally, we should study hard to acquire knowledge and skills that will help us contribute to the development of our hometown in the future.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ping
