Great changes have taken place in my hometown since the reform and opening up.In the past,people lived in low houses.Farmers planted crops with the help of animals.Children studied in the old school.Big families were recorded into small houses.People had little money to see a doctor.And there were few hospitals.People keep in touch with their friends and relatives far away mainly by letter or telegram.Nowadays,most people live in tall buildings.Farmers can plant crops with the help of farm machine.And children study in modern schools.People can enjoy good medical care.What's more,communications are becoming easier and quicker.Thanks to the government's efforts.My hometown is becoming better and better in the future.
