【答案】Great Changes in My Hometown    In recent years，great changes have taken place in my hometown.I have seen the changes myself.
In the past，there were no flowers and grass here.The road was  potholed and uneven.The water was dirty and smelt terrible.What's worse ，some factories put the waste water into the river.A lot of people used to use the disposable paper cups and paper lunch boxes.
But now everything has changed a lot.The flowers and grass are beautiful.Now the road is wide and clean.The air is fresh and the water is clean.And you can see bees and butterflies dancing among the flowers.Most people have realized the importance of protecting the environment.
To save energy and reduce air pollution，they often walk or ride bikes to work instead of driving cars.Now people are enjoying a comfortable life.
