Great changes have taken place in people's life in the past 20 years.Ln the past,people kept in touch with friends mainly by sending letters.They eat their meals at home and read newspapers after supper.They went to bed at early time for they have nothing to do when it became dark at night.But now,since the Reform and Opening up,our daily life had been changed a lot.They use telephones,mobile phones,or e-mails to keep in touch with friends .Families may go to reaturanut to have a heavy meal .And there are so many amusement for us to choose ,such as watch TV,see a movie and so on,which make our life more colourful.There has been a lot of significant changes in my hometown in recent years.
On the one hand, industry gave its way to tourism. There used to be many factories that produce coal in the mountains nearby my hometown. But over years, local government has made an effort in controlling the environment pollution. As a result, the leading economy has become tourism instead of industry. Downtown areas saw the change of many citizens taking new jobs as tour guides or running souvenir stores.
On the other hand, there are more schools and universities in my hometown compared to the situation several years ago. Nowadays more and more people have the chance to attend schools or to further their studies in high-level educational institutions.
In general, my hometown has developed to a great extent in these years.
我的家鄉(xiāng)近幾年來經(jīng)歷了很多重大變化。
一方面，工業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)型為了旅游業(yè)。過去在我家鄉(xiāng)附近的山中，曾經(jīng)有很多產(chǎn)煤的工廠。但是經(jīng)過這幾年，當(dāng)?shù)卣刂骗h(huán)境污染。所以，引領(lǐng)經(jīng)濟(jì)已經(jīng)變成了旅游業(yè)，而不再是工業(yè)。鎮(zhèn)中心目睹了城鎮(zhèn)居民的工作轉(zhuǎn)變，許多人當(dāng)上了導(dǎo)游，或者開了紀(jì)念品商店。
另一方面，與過去相比，我家鄉(xiāng)現(xiàn)在有了更多的學(xué)校和大學(xué)。越來越多的人有上學(xué)的機(jī)會(huì)，他們也可以進(jìn)入高等學(xué)府進(jìn)一步深造。
總的來說，我的家鄉(xiāng)這幾年發(fā)展很大。
