In the past, there werefew buses and most people traveled by bike or on foot. The roads were narrow and it was not easy to goto other cities. Now, wide roads and new bridges have been built. We can take high-speed trains, subwaysor planes to travel. It only takes two hours to go to the capital city by high-speed train now, while it usedto take ten hours by bus. These changes bring great convenience to people's life.三、范文背诵(典型范例)Then and NowMy hometown is a small town in the south of China. It has changed greatly over the past ten years,and I am always proud of these changes.In the past, my hometown was a quiet place. Most people lived in small houses with red roofs. Theroads were made of dirt, so when it rained, the roads became muddy and difficult to walk on. There wereonly a few small shops, and people could not buy many kinds of things. Children usually played gameslike hide-and-seek or jumping rope outside, because there were no supermarkets or amusement parks.Now, my hometown is totally different. The dirt roads have been replaced by wide and clean asphaltroads. Many tall buildings and modern apartments have been built. There are big supermarkets, shoppingmalls and even a cinema in the town. People can buy all kinds of products easily and enjoy movies intheir free time. The traffic is also more convenient—buses run every ten minutes, and many families havetheir own cars. What's more, there is a beautiful park with lakes and green trees, where people can take awalk or do exercise.I love my hometown very much. The changes not only make our life more comfortable andconvenient but also show the development of our country. I believe my hometown will become morebeautiful in the future.第 11 页 共 11 页 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 Unit 4(核心知识) (2).pdf Unit 4(知识梳理).pdf
