There are hardly any trees downtown now.

They cut down a lot of trees when they built the new stores. It’s not as green anymore.

2

My school still looks the same as ever.

It hasn’t changed at all, except now there’s no fence around it. I think it looks nicer without it.

3

Remember that building with all the windows on King Street?

They tore it down and they’re going to redevelop the site.

It’s probably for the best since the building has been empty for so long.

4

We do all our shopping at the new outdoor farmer’s market near our house.

There used to be a supermarket there, but it wasn’t very good. so some local farmers got together and started the farmer’s market.

Everyone loves it.

In fact, it’s very crowded there on the weekends.

5

There didn’t use to be any industry in my hometown.

People used to come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Now no one comes here because of all the factories and traffic.

6

The young people in town used to go to a club downtown next to all the office buildings.

Now they go to the new skate park.

It’s better because they’re outside, they get some exercise. and have fun!
