When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandparents always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill. Even though we worked so hard, we had a hard life because there was little water.
One day, two young men from our government led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals (水渠) and other projects (项目) began to be built in my village.
Soon after that, I moved to another city for my junior high school with my parents. I hadn't been back for the last two years. One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore. 4. The river was so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandparents took out some fresh pears and apples. They told us that these canals encouraged more people to increase the fruit production (产量) with clean water in the river.
5. 现在我的家乡已经发生了很大变化。Looking ahead, I am filled with hope and excitement for the future.

Remember we used to see many fireflies(萤火虫) shining in the grass on summer evenings? Now we are lucky if we see one. Fireflies have become fewer and fewer all over the world because the lights at night keep them away and because there is too little land for them to live on. To bring these little flying friends back into our lives, we can: 1. Keep the grass taller and grow more plants. Fireflies like to live over tall grass or near the high points of plants. 2. Leave dry leaves or dead plants in the garden. Small animals like slugs, snails, and worms live under them. They are fireflies' favorite food. 3. Turn off lights in the garden or by the window. When it is too bright, fireflies don't know if the light is from other fireflies or from lamps. So it is difficult for them to find each other. 4. Build a pond in the yard and keep the water clean. Fireflies like to live around clean water. Let us know if you have any questions. The National Science Center: 123-4567.
