Suzhou is my hometown. This beautiful city is in Jiangsu Province. 1 it is not as big as Beijing, everyone in China knows this beautiful place. People 2 it as "Venice of the East (东方威尼斯)".
Suzhou has a long history. There are many ancient Chinese3 in Suzhou. Now, these beautiful gardens are becoming famous tourist places in Suzhou.
In the past 30 years my hometown has4 rapidly in many ways. The biggest change I have found is the5. On the one hand, many people here don't live in the 6 houses anymore. They have moved into the new high buildings and are enjoying a comfortable life. On the other hand, nowadays builders have 7 thousands of modern buildings of different styles (类型). I think this change is 8 because it has made Suzhou become more modern and more beautiful.
To be honest, everything has changed9 my hometown. I think you should think about 10 the beautiful city. I'm sure you will love it.

It was in August 1999 that I decided to come to China to work as a language teacher.
I taught in Zhongshan City. Guangdong, for six months before moving to Ningbo. I came to Wanli University in 2000, and I taught there for five years. My time in Ningbo is great. I've met many wonderful Chinese teachers.
I came to China with the idea of helping Chinese friends learn English better, and I have achieved this many times. I've traveled to many places in China, and I find that Ningbo is my favorite place.
When I first came to Ningbo in 2000, it wasn't as clean as it is now. However, I found that this is a great city to live in. When I arrived, there was one McDonalds, and three KFC's. But we didn't get a Starbucks until 2002.
I've really enjoyed spending my time here, especially now that I have found my beautiful wife, and we will be having our first child in Ningbo. Maybe she or he will learn Ningbo dialect（方言）, to talk with the grandparents.
While staying in Ningbo, I have found that many people can understand English, but are very shy to speak out. I'm telling you now, it is only a language, and don't be afraid to talk, just remember, "Nobody is perfect. "
—For about ten years.
1）表示欢迎：有利于家乡的发展等；
2）感到担忧：造成环境污染等。
