Hi! My name is Mark. I live in a town in the west of Shanghai. Over the past twenty years, great changes have taken place here.

In the past, my hometown was only a small village. There were no tall buildings. But now more and more tall buildings appear and the roads get broader. My father used to work in a small post office. We contacted each other mainly by sending letters. Now we can get in touch by using telephones, mobile phone, the Internet and so on. The world becomes smaller and smaller.

We can find our life more comfortable. We live in big flats. We can enjoy milk, vegetables, fruit and meat for meals. We can also enjoy wonderful films, and listen to music with MP5. In the past, we couldn’t enjoy life like this.

On the other hand, pollution has become a serious problem in our daily life. In the past, there were not many factories. So the water was clean and the air was fresh. However, the water and the air aren’t clean any more, because too many factories have polluted them. The government has taken action to reduce the pollution. Now things have been better.

I am sure my hometown will be more and more beautiful.
