Great Changes in My Hometown
In the past, my hometown was very poor. There were only small farmhouses on the farmland. We had rough dirt tracks instead of highways or railways. Terrible sandstorms hit the village every spring, and there were no greenhouses for farmers to grow plants.
However, great changes have taken place here. Wide highways and a new railway connect our village to the city. Many trees are planted to stop sandstorms, and plenty of high-tech greenhouses stand on the farmland. Our hometown becomes much nicer than before.
