My Home Town

　　My home town 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。它坐落在一条宽阔的河边，盛产鱼和大米。

　　但在过去，它是一个贫穷落后的小镇。许多人没有工作他们过着艰苦的生活。

　　1949年，我的家乡解放了。从那时起那里发生了巨大的变化。街道拓宽了。工厂、学校、医院、电影院和剧院相继涌现。人民的生活大大改善了。

　　我爱我的家乡。我更爱它的人民他们正在努力工作，使它更加富有和美丽。
