英语作文

My Home Town

My hometown is in the southeast of Shandong， a seaside village.

It is a small village. There are about 600 people. Most of them are peasants. They mainly plant wheat， corn and cotton. Some of them often go fishing in the sea.

Great changes have taken place in the past ten years. Now the peasants here use tractors in their work. A lot of new buildings have appeared. Many families own fridges and some even have air-conditioners. In the evening they watch TV as the people in cities do.

There is a primary school in the village. Most of the peasants’ children are studying in college now.

I love my home town. I believe she will become more and more beautiful in the future.
