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

　　我的家乡是一个美丽的地方。它坐落在一条宽阔的河流和丰富的鱼和米饭。

　　但是在过去它是一个贫穷落后的小城镇。很多人没有工作。他们过着艰苦的生活。

　　1949年我的家乡解放。自那以后发生了巨大的变化。街道已拓宽。工厂，学校，医院，电影院和剧院如雨后春笋般涌现出来。人民的生活大大改善。

　　我爱我的家乡。所有我爱的人。他们正在努力工作以使它更丰富、更美丽。
