Question

Yueyang was awarded the National Civilized City (全国文明城市) in 2015. We are proud of our hometown . It has changed a lot in the last few years.

Yueyang is a cultural city with a long history near Dongting Lake. But the local people didn’t use to be satisfied with the environment .You could find rubbish on the streets. The rivers were polluted because factories put waste water into them. What’s more, the air was polluted by the smoke from the factories. People no longer saw green land because they cut down plenty of trees.

Today, the environment in Yueyang is becoming better and better. People are more polite now. They put waste paper and plastic bottles in the recycling bins(箱子).They keep voices down while talking in public. They offer seats to the old, the disabled and the women with babies on the buses. Some factories have been closed by the government. Waste water is cleaned before putting into the rivers. Many trees and flowers are planted on the mountains.

In summer, many people take walks along Bianhe Street after dinner. It’s interesting to see many boats going up and down in Dongting Lake. And we can watch some women doing square dancing (广场舞) in front of Yueyang Tower.

We need to take care of our environment and fight against pollution. We hope our hometown will be more lively and fantastic.
