Changes in Our Hometown
In the past ten years, great changes have taken place in our hometown. In the past, there used to be old houses. The river was very dirty. The roads were narrow and the living conditions were hard. People went to work on foot or by bike. But now, there are many tall buildings in my hometown. The river is clean and the water is clear. There are many ring roads and the living conditions are comfortable. People usually go to work by bus or by car.
I am glad to see these great changes in my hometown. But I think it’s still important to remember the past. It tells that we should cherish the present life.

May 1st, Saturday Sunny
At nine in the morning, I went to the countryside with my classmates. On the way we saw many rice fields and woods on both sides of the road. Farmers have built factories, shops and schools in many villages. Between ten and twelve we visited ten families. Many farmers who grew vegetables and raised silkworms became rich. Some families have bought color TV. Their life is much better than before. It’s said that some American friends will come to visit their village, too. I hope the farmers’ life will be better and better.

Saving the Earth
How to protect the environment has become one of the biggest problems in the world. There are many kinds of pollutions around us, such as air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution and light pollution. We can find that rubbish not only pollutes our environment but also harms people’s health. So we should not throw rubbish everywhere. Some factories pour waste water into the rivers and the lakes. The behavior of these factories will pollute the water, and sometimes it can kill the fish living in them.
We have only one earth. We must keep our environment clean and tidy. We must try our best to protect her, and make our home more beautiful.
5.“保护环境，人人有责”，请以How to Be a Greener Person 为题，写一篇有关环保的短文，并适当发表你的看法。（80词左右）【参考范文】
How to Be a Greener Person
It’s our duty to protect the environment around us. The three Rs—reduce, reuse and recycle—are important. I think we’d better not buy bottles or boxes which people can only use once. We should turn off the lights when we are not using them. We can give old clothes to others to reuse them. When we go shopping, we’d better take a cloth bag rather than use plastic bags. We shouldn’t throw things away if they can be reused, repaired or recycled. It’s important for us to protect animals and plants. We are supposed to prevent the factory from pouring waste water into rivers, lakes and so on. If everyone is doing that, our world will become more and more beautiful.

Recently we have had a discussion on whether it is necessary to carry out outer space explorations at a class meeting. Some of us think it is important to research the outer space. First, people can get a better understanding of the outer space through the explorations. Second, new resources can be found there for humans to use. Third, the explorations can possibly bring about new living space for human life.
However, others don’t believe so. They think this kind of explorations cost too much money. And it is very dangerous for astronauts to do such work.
I think people should do the explorations and such explorations into the outer space are worth trying out.

I have recently made a survey among 30 boys and 30 girls in our school about their purposes of surfing the Internet.
What the boys like most is playing games and shopping is the girls’ favorite. Both boys and girls like to read news or send e-mails through the Internet. Maybe they think it’s the most convenient way to get information or keep in touch with friends. All the boys and girls like chatting very much. Only several of them use Internet as a tool to study. So I think students should be guided to use the Internet better.
