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.
My hometown is near the Yangtze River. It is a beautiful city, which is very suitable for living in . it is also a city whose economy is developing very fast. In recent years, our city has built a lot of new factories, houses, roads and so on. However, our city also has many problems. Because of the development, the water and the air in our city have been seriously polluted. And the traffic is also heavy. I think a strong economy for the future needs a good environment. So I hope our government can pay more attention to environmental protection.
Yours,
Li Xiaohua
