There are a lot of changes in my village in the recent years. The roads in the village are now very easy to travel on because they are made with brick. Many villagers have TV and modern electric devices which help them know more about life in the country and even around the world. We had no TVs before and our knowledge was very little. Now we can watch TV, read newspaper and have more chances to do business with others. We also have the Internet which helps us communicate easily and conveniently.
My hometown has changed a lot. Firstly, the local people have different appearance with fashionable clothes. Secondly, many of them now have cell phones and motorbikes or even cars. They are living in modem brick houses. Besides, the Internet is very popular and they use it for learning, making new friends and playing games. They really feel pleased about the changes.
-My village has a lot of changes. Before anyone used oil lamps instead of electric lights as now, this road from my school to the house had bulbs along the road not as dark as before. The fields are also big, spacious and beautiful than before.
