I stayed at home for about a month because of the epidemic(疫情). I find great changes have taken place(发生) in my hometown(家乡). Before, the houses in my hometown were very old and poor, but now many people have moved into tall buildings. There are a lot of tall buildings here and there. There is a river behind my house. Before the water in the river was very dirty, but now the water is very clean and people can ‘swim in it. People walked or rode bikes to go to work before, but now they can take buses or drive their own cars to work.
Food is another big difference. There weren’t any super- markets so we grew our own food. We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things we didn’t have. We didn’t have fridges so we kept things cool in a special room. But now there is a fridge in each family. People live a happier life now.
