My hometown is located at the suburb of Shanghai. Once there were many villages and in the village each family had their own unattached houses. The villagers had a little land and cultivated vegetables in their free time. Later, under the government’s relocation policy, villagers’ private houses were pulled down; instead, blocks of commercial residential buildings were set up. Therefore, the natural environment as well as the humanistic environment has changed greatly.
The first day when I moved into this residence area, I marveled at the new face of this area. Once the road stretched to the village was rough and narrow, and it was impossible for big trucks to come in. Now it is taken place by the broad bituminous macadam. The ordered blocks of buildings are instead of the varied private houses, which makes the whole area well-regulated. Now in the center of the residence area, there is a big well-designed lawn. On the lawn extended paths embedded cobblestones to each building. Along the paths litter bins are set that convenience the residents and keep clean. In the past trees, grass, and even rubbish scattered here and there in the village. However, regardless all the advantages it brings, I feel that I have lost something. The rivers, the farmland and the ancient trees, which brought me much joy in my childhood, now have disappeared from my sight and impressed in my memory forever.
Compared with the past, people’s life style also has a new face. Before the day breaks, most old people get up. Some of them do morning exercise such as tai chi, and some of them walk to the market, while in the past they used to cultivate in their farmland. Since the social welfare provides more security for the old people, their life become more comfortable than before. I still remember that in the past farming and playing mah-jongg was the only thing they could do in their free time. Though they still play mah-jongg at weekends, they still have many other entertainments, such as dancing and seeing films in the community center. From time to time, they summon up people to rehearse some programs for performing in public when the traditional festivals come. All the changes seem to be favorable, but there is one change that I don’t admire. People now almost no long drop around each other. The relationship of the neighborhood is less harmonic than before. Sometimes the neighbors argue the trifle and maybe become strangers from then on.
Just like a coin has two sides, the changes have brought both advantages and disadvantages. It is certain that the advantages are far more than the disadvantages. We should keep changing and develop into a better life.

great changes in my hometown Great Changes in My Hometown I used to live in a small town with trees all around. There was no tall building and the only street was narrow. Just outside the town， there was a river. You can see different kinds of fish swimming in the clear water. People here lived a simple life. Great changes have taken place here. You can see tall buildings， big department stores and factories everywhere. Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the big streets. But with the development of the industry， we have fewer trees. Air and water pollution is becoming more and more serious. We must do something to stop pollution and make our town even more beautiful.
