六、
My hometown has changed greatly over the years.In the past, there were only small roads and low houses. Most people worked on farms. There were few cars, and people usually walked or rode bicycles. Life was simple but sometimes inconvenient. Now, my hometown is very different. Wide roads and tall buildings are everywhere. Many people work in offices or factories. Cars and buses fill the streets. Shopping centers and parks make life more comfortable. I think these changes are good because they bring a more convenient life. However, I sometimes miss the quiet and green fields of the old days.
