  My hometown is a beautiful village. Great changes have t 1 place here in the past ten years. Ten years ago, it was a p 2 village. There was only one mountain path to go there. Only one o 3 two families had bikes or radios. Most people l 4 in small and low straw-thatched cottages (草房).And farmers had no modern m   5 to do farm work.

   Now my hometown has taken on a new look s 6 the reform and opening-up. We have built new highways (公路).All the villagers have m 7 in new houses, some even in large buildings. Every family can w 8 TV at home, and some have had cars. And children can r 9 a good education in big and bright classrooms. Thanks to (幸亏，由于)our government's effort, we are living a happy 1 10 now.

   I believe my hometown will become more and more beautiful in the future.

   My grandfather is eighty years old. He has seen how  1 things have changed himself.

   "Families aren't what they used to be. People are too  2  nowadays. Most of parents are both busy 

working. No one has time to 3  children at home.“

    And the cars ！ No one  4  any more. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to 

school on school days, 5 in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think any 

more. In 6 class ， for example ， we used to calculate (计算) by using our heads. But now kids don't use

their heads any more.  7  ， they use calculators.

   Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. 

My mother used to 8 all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.

   And people talk 9 to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to

think ... Life used to be simple, but it isn't any more.

   My grandfather is 10 whether the changes are good or not. But he often says life used to be better.
