Dear Peter,
I’m writing to tell you something about the ancient town in my hometown. Last weekend, I visited it with some friends. It was the second time that I had been there. And I found that great changes have taken place there.
Two years ago, most houses were old and broken, and there were few people there. The environment was beautiful and quiet. But now lots of new houses have been built and more and more tourists are coming to enjoy the newly explored tourist attractions. However, I find that the natural beauty there is becoming less and less.
What a pity! I think many people have the same feeling as me, for the beauty of nature is really wonderful and attractive!
What’s your opinion? Please let me know.
Yours,
Wang Li
