Topic : Have you ever visited a place you had left a long time ago and i found it had changed considerably? Write an essay comparing and contrasting “the way it was” and “the way it is now”. Have things changed for the better or the worse?

I haven’t come back this place for long time ago. My hometown, everything in here has been changing for a better life since I’ve returned. There are 2 points changed considerably such as the pace of life and education.

Before, the pace of life in here was slow. Stores closed in the early evening, and the streets were empty. The people in here seemed relaxed and moved in more leisurely way, even just 9pm they went to bed. But now, everything changes. The streets are crowded, even in the evening. Stores, restaurants open late at night. The people are busier and life in here becomes more hectic. I can realize that the pace of life in my hometown changed considerably.

Moreover, education in this place is more developed. Before, there were few children went to school. Majority had to work in order to help their family. Besides, facilities were poor. There was not enough equipment to support for studying. Now, which are improved. Governments help and make opportunities for children go to school. Facilities also are better, equipment is well-equipped. Children have chances to learn. Thanks to that, they can improve their family’s life.

Conclusion, I hope that my hometown will develop more and more in order to people’s life in here are better.
