Answer 1

One possible version:
Last month I went to my hometown. It used to be a quiet small town. There were green hills around and the was fresh air. People went shopping by bike or on foot. It has changed a lot these years. There are many broad roads and tall buildings. Many people has bought cars and moved into the new flats. Many buses pass there. Many people go to the factory to work. The changes have brought many advantages, but they also cause lots of problems. The environment is not as good as before. The price of the house is too high; many people can’t afford to buy the houses. I believe the government will take action to solve the problems. People will live a better life.

这是一篇给材料作文要求写一篇介绍自己家乡从过去到现在发生的一些变化。动笔前要认真阅读材料，不能遗漏要点。由于是介绍过去到现在的变化，故应特别注意时态的应用，介绍过去一般用过去时态，介绍现在用一般现在时态，展望将来则用将来时态。写作中注意表达的先后顺序，语义的 连贯性，注意英语表达的惯用句式，固定短语的应用，不犯语法错误。短文结尾要根据自己的看法，发表一点对于将来的展望，最少要写两句话，注意将来时态的应用。写好后多读几遍，适当修改。
