af. Dear Egar,
ag. I am very sorry for this late reply. I have just returned from my
hometown. I was on a holiday but I did not really enjoy my stay there.
Things were not the same as they used to be.
ah. When I was a child, I used to swim and go fishing with my brother
and my friends in the river near my house. I liked the river because the
water was clean and there were a lot of fish in it.
ai. Now, the river is full of garbage and the water is turbid. The fish are
gone and the area around the river is dirty. There are no children swimming
and fishing in the river because the water is ominous. The chemical waste
from the factories makes it poisonous.
aj. The condition of the river really makes me sad. What about your
hometown? Do you have the same problem with polluted river?
