My home village is very beautiful. It lies at the foot of a mountain. A clean and small river runs around the village. Our villagers are friendly and hard working.

But ten years ago we lived a hard life, because there wasn't a road here then. We couldn't take the vegetables and fruit to the town.

In the past few years, our village has changed a lot. With the help of the government, we have built a wide road to town. So we can sell our begetables and fruit in the town. We have become rich. Now we are living in new buildings and our life is getting better and better.

我的家乡很美，它位于一个山脚下。一条洁净的小河绕着村子流。乡亲们很友好，也很勤劳。

可是十年前我们村过着艰辛的生活，因为那时这里没有路。我们无法将水果和蔬菜运到城里。

近年来，我们村发生了巨变。在政府的帮助下，我们修建了一条通往城里的宽阔的路。这样，我们就能在城里卖蔬菜和水果。我们有钱了，现在住在新楼里，我们的日子越过越好。
