My Hometown
Dear Bob,
It's very kind of you to write to me and let me know about your beautiful city.Now I'd like to tell you something about my hometown Jiangcheng.
The city stands by the side of the Changjiang River,and it's a nice place to live in with the beautiful scenery.The economy has been devel-oping very quickly in the past ten years.Many factories have been built,while many houses and roads are also being built.However,the devel-opment of the economy also has brought about some problems,such as water pollution,air pollution and trattic jams.
I think it isn't good to build so many factories.Many farmers lose their good farmlands and it isn't easy for them to find jobs again.So when developing the industry,we need to think about the problem and try to solve it.that's to say,we should develop its economy scientifically.
Yours,
Xiaohua

我的家乡
亲爱的鲍勃:
非常感谢你的来信,你让我对你美丽的家乡城市有了了解。现在我想告诉你一些关于我的家乡江城的情况。
江城位于长江沿岸，风景秀丽，是个适合居住的好地方。过去的十年里，经济一直在迅速发展。许多工厂被建起来了，许多房屋和道路也正在建设。然而，经济的发展也带来了一些题，比如水和空气的污染，还有交通拥挤。
我认为建设这么多工厂不是件好事。许多农民失去了自己的良田，再找工作也不容易。所以，发展工业的时候，我们有必要考虑这个问题，并努力去解决这一问题。也就是说，我们应该科学地发展经济。
