A 500-word essay on the changes in Shangluo’s hometown

With a good mood, I went back to my hometown and found that my hometown has changed and become more and more beautiful! In the past, the path leading to my hometown was bumpy and dusty, with fields next to it. Now, the path has become wide and flat, with many flowers and plants planted on both sides!

In the past, there were no supermarkets near my hometown, only one or two small shops. People had to walk long distances and go to the streets to buy things. Things have changed now. Several supermarkets have opened in the small town in my hometown. The shopping malls have a dazzling array of products, making it much more convenient for people to buy things.

In the past, people lived in tile-roofed houses. Some tile-roofed houses continue to leak when it rains; the tiles on some tiled-roofed houses are almost broken. The walls of the house are made of mud bricks, and the light in the house is very poor... But now, it has become a brand new building. Evergreen landscape trees all year round are planted in front of some buildings. The tall trees and the bottom trees contrast with each other, and the flowers in bloom are really like a fairyland. People wore clean clothes and stood on the balcony to bask in the warm sunshine. They were all delighted!

In the past, there were no street lights on both sides of the road, and people could only use flashlights and horse lanterns for lighting. Nowadays, there are different types of street lights hanging on the roadside. Every night, the street lights bloom like flowers. The light is gentle and bright, illuminating people and vehicles walking at night, shining in the silent night sky. Combined with the bright lights from the surrounding houses, it becomes a bright and peaceful picture of a quiet night in the countryside.

In the past, someone with a bicycle in the village was considered the richest man in the village. But now, every household in the village rides a motorcycle, and some even drive a car! Not to mention modern devices such as televisions, mobile phones, and computers. The people in the village have become rich and the people in the village are no longer poor. What a good thing!

As I sat in the car going home, I was filled with joy and joy. The roads in my hometown, the buildings in my hometown, and the people in my hometown gradually left me in the afterglow of the sunset, but I reluctantly looked back and said: "Hometown, you are so beautiful! I will come back!"
