Writing sample
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 cement and brick instead of dirt like in the past. Many villagers have TVs 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.
However, it also has some negative effects. Some factories cause air and water pollution. More entertainment centres have been set up. It makes some young people become lazier and they only want to play, they don`t want to study hard any more. I hope that they won`t be addicted to games and will study for the sustainable development of themselves, of their family and of our country.
- I think electric light plays a very important part in the life of the villagers. It helps people see everything clearly at night so they can do more work.
- A nearby school is very helpful to people here because they don`t have to go a long way or cross a stream to get to school, which is very dangerous in the rainy seasons. It will help develop the village.
- I believe that more people will go to the village to experience life here, which is a good thing for the villagers because they can develop tourism. They will have more work and more money.
