My hometown is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.But in the old days it was a poor and backward little town.Many people had no work. They lived a hard life.In 1949 my hometown was liberated. Since then great changes have taken place there.The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have sprung up one after another.The life of the people is greatly improved.I love my hometown. All the more I love its people.They are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful.

　　我的家乡是个美丽的地方，它座落在一条宽宽的小河旁边，富产鱼和大米。但是在过去它是个又穷又偏僻的小镇。很多人没有工作，生活很难过。1949年解放以来，我的家乡发生了很大的变化。道路拓宽了，工厂、学校、医院、电影院和歌剧院一个接一个建成。人们生活质量大大地提高了。我爱我的家乡，更爱家乡的人们。他们辛勤工作保持着它的富有、美丽。
