What would you change about your hometown? Among the diverse aspects that I want to improve about my hometown is the natural environment: make air as clean as before and water as limpid as glass and reduce as much pollution as possible In the past,as I remember clearly as a child, the sky was azure and the rivers and lakes were so clear that people can see the fish swimming freely in them However, all has been changed since the modernization of cities Factories have been releasing industrial waste into the clean rivers and lakes without proper disposal and automobiles have given out harmful gas into the air without limitation People haven not realized that they are sacrificing the indispensable natural environment for industrialization and modernization Therefore, the improvement of natural environment will make my hometown become more beautiful in the future Improving the natural environment will make people happier and healthier People need not wear antiseptic mask because of the dirty air and drink filtrated mineral water owing to the polluted water They need not worry about the increasing number of people who have died from lung diseases Instead, they can breeze aromatic fresh air not only at home but also on the streets They can cool themselves with their relatives and friends joyfully under shadowy green trees They are free from worry because of the gradual decrease in all kinds of diseases caused by pollution As a famous tourist city, the city of Zhenzhou generated majority of its revenues from tourism In fact, in the past twenty years tourism has contributed to the flourishing economy However, in recent years many manufacture companies have established factories in the city and these companies have created many jobs for people but at the same time have damaged the natural environment by producing much air and water pollution Companies face little pollution control regulation as the city sacrifices the natural environment for industrial modernization Excessive chemical waste released from factories combined with unlimited carbon dioxide discharged from automobiles has resulted in filthy air and smelly water Today sky is no longer as blue and the water is no longer as clean Tourists are less willing to travel to the city which delays the progress of tourism The consequence is the dramatic reduction of tourism revenues for the city government In order to regain the prosperity of tourism and the economy, there is an urgent need to improve the natural environment of the city The government should reorganize its strategy as we strongly believe that a balance of modernization and clean environment can be reached In summary, I believe that improving the natural environment of my hometown will contribute to the flourishing economy by increase tourism In addition, people would live happier and healthier in a clean environment
