Great changes have taken place in my hometown since 1978 whenChinastarted to put into effect the policies of reform and opening to the outside world. The people have got rid 1        the mud and dirt. They have 2        theaters,shops and flats in the center of the town. They also 3       a hospital in the east of the town. 4       the river they have built schools,hotels and a big park. Factories and businesses have 5      . On the river,steamers and boats come and go busily day and night,6        the products of our industries to all 7        of the province.
