MY HOMETOWN TODAY
My hometown has changed a lot – it’s definitely not the same as it was before. It’s not as quiet as it was 5 years ago. It’s much more noisy, but I prefer it now. There are more shops and restaurants. The restaurants are different from the ones we had before. Now we can eat many different kinds of food – Italian, French, and even Mexican! There have been so many changes. Even the streets are not as narrow as they were before. They are wider now to make space for the extra traffic. One thing hasn’t changed though. The people here are as warm and friendly as before. That’s one thing that’s the same as it was before.
Tạm dịch:
Quê tôi ngày nay
Quê tôi đã thay đổi nhiều – nó hoàn toàn không như trước đây. Nó không yên bình như cách đây 5 năm. Nó ồn ào hơn, nhưng tôi thích quê tôi bây giờ hơn. Có nhiều cửa hàng và nhà hàng hơn. Nhà hàng khác với những cái khác mà chúng tôi đã có trước đây. Bây giờ chúng tôi có thể ăn nhiều loại thức ăn khác nhau – món Ý, món Pháp, và món Mexico. Có quá nhiều thay đổi. Thậm chí những con đường cũng không chật hẹp như trước đây. Bây giờ chúng rộng hơn để tạo khoảng trông cho xe. Mặc dù vậy nhưng có một điều không thay đổi. Con người ở đây vẫn ấm áp và thân thiện như trước đây. Đó là một điều duy nhất giống với trước đây.
