The Changes in My Hometown

However, as time goes by, things have changed greatly. Now people live in big houses and some people even have their own cars. Everyone takes action to protect the environment. The water in the river is clean and the sky is blue. The new roads are wide. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world come to visit my hometown. I'm sure people's life in my hometown will become better and better in the future.

教师详解详析
自我展示
One possible version：
Great changes have taken place in our studies since our school began to carry on exploring learning strategies.
In the past, teachers kept on explaining the language points in class. We students just listened and took some notes. So we didn't have enough time to think about problems independently. And we had to do much homework after class. But now teachers show the problems to us first, and then we discuss them for a while. We try to find out the ways of solving problems, through which we've learnt how to cooperate with others. After class, we can have different activities. For example, we can read books we like, go to the library or surf the Internet for useful information and so on.
In a word, now we are the masters of our study and we're happy.
