| After five years away in my hometown, I find that the neighborhood which I used to living in has changed A lot. The Sichuan Restaurant and the older fish shop across the street from our middle school were gone. There exist now a park that has a small river running through. The factory at the corner of Friendship Street or Zhongshan Road has been moved out of the city, and sports center has been built in their place. The market at the corner of friendship Street and Xinhua Road has been given way to a supermarket. Besides the bookstore next to our middle school is still there. | 1______ |
