My home town
——the past and the present
I have live in Zhenjiang since I was born . I still remember Zhenjiang was only a small city ten years ago.
At that time, there were few people in Zhenjiang and most of then were farmers. But, it was beautiful. The sky was blue and the air was so fresh that it was comfortable to enjoy it. At the same tome, you also could see green hills around and colorful flowers. The water was so clear that you could see the fish swim in it.
People there were poor, so they could only live in small houses. But they were friendly to each other. The worst thing was that the traffic wasn’t convenient, so people couldn’t go out very often. This is one of the reasons why Zhenjiang had less development.
Things have changed a lot over the years. To my surprise, there’re now 2600000people living in Zhenjiang. It’s not a small city any more. Many factories, tall buildings, shopping centers, some new highways have been there for a long time. Now, we can take a bus, taxi, car etc. to go out. Overall, we have a modern life.
But, behind it, there’re many problems. The most serious problem is the environment. The air and water pollution become worse and worse. Luckily, the government have realized it and taken actions to protect the environment. I think it will get better in the future.
I wish our home town a good future. |
