In recent years,with the help of favourable policies of our country,great changes have taken place in my hometown.
The people’s living conditions have improved a lot.We can see tall buildings here and there.The children in the countryside can also receive good education.The living environment has also improved.The sky is bluer and the water is clearer.The roads are wider and the trees turn greener.What’s more,the traffic becomes more convenient because there is an airport,a high-speed rail station,super highways,railway stations and so on.It attracts many tourists from home and abroad every year.
I believe that my hometown will become more and more beautiful in the future.
