The Changes in my Hometown



The world is changing rapidly everyday. My hometown has seen the changes over the years. These changes help people develop themselves and make their lives colorful; however, people are facing some challenges. These challenges can be seen in education, the environment and entertainment.
Education plays an important role during one's life. Parents pay much attention to education, and almost everyone who graduates from a university is working to gather more knowledge. As the economy becomes more and more global, English becomes a necessary tool to do business around the world; therefore, many English training agencies are opening. Many people join them and not only improve their English ability, but also gain friendship and happiness. People's notion of education is also changing. "One is never too old to learn" motivates them to do better.
Everyone has the responsibility for protecting the environment. People in my hometown realize this and are fully committed to doing their part, such as planting trees, keeping the roads clean, and not using plastic bags. The environment is much better than before; however, the improvement of people's economic level makes them choose cars as their vehicles, which replace bicycles. Our "bicycle country" is gradually disappearing. Cars bring a great deal of noise and gases that do a tremendous amount of harm to the environment. The environment is facing a severe challenge.
Nowadays, people tend to combine entertainment with work and study. So, more and more entertainment places open, for instance, KTVs, bars, and bookstores. People's lives are not boring anymore because they can relax and rest in many different ways instead of just watching TV at home. Various activities make people's lives beautiful and they enjoy their lives very much.
Education, the environment and entertainment are three changes which illustrate that my hometown has undergone great changes. The improvement of education, the environment and entertainment help people live happy lives and find good jobs.
