During the winter holiday, I was very happy because of the Chinese new year and other reasons. During the holiday, my parents and I went back to my hometown in the countryside in Hebei Province. I had not come back for several years, so that I was so surprised to find that great changes had taken place in this small village in the past years. Almost every family in the village had color TV set and some of them had computers. Many families had their houses newly built or rebuilt. Previously,could be seen everywhere, but now they have taken on an entirely newlook. Motorcycles or even private cars are not luxuries any more.

寒假期間，因?yàn)榇汗?jié)和其他原因我很開(kāi)心。假期期間，我父母和我回到河北的鄉(xiāng)下老家。我已經(jīng)好幾年沒(méi)回去了，所以看到過(guò)去這些年這座小村莊發(fā)生的巨大變化我感到很驚訝。幾乎村里的每一戶(hù)人家都有彩電，有的還有了電腦。很多家庭都有了新建的或重建的房子。以前，老式瓦房隨處可見(jiàn)，但是現(xiàn)在它們看上去完全是一幅新的景象。摩托車(chē)或者甚至是私家車(chē)也已不再是奢侈品了。

One of the villagers proudly told me that he and some other villagers were going to join a tour and travel abroad. Previously, the villagers were busy in their farm work all the year round, but now they have much more time and money to relax or entertain. Traveling has become a new trend among villagers. Seeing these amazing changes, my father said that he would go back to my hometown as soon as he retired. As for me, I strongly supported his idea.

一位村民驕傲地告訴我他和其他一些村民跟團(tuán)出國(guó)旅游了。以前，村民們一整年都忙于農(nóng)活，但是現(xiàn)在它們有更多時(shí)間和錢(qián)去放松娛樂(lè)。旅游已經(jīng)成為在村民當(dāng)中已經(jīng)成為一種新潮流了�？吹竭@些驚人的變化，我爸爸說(shuō)他一退休就想回到家鄉(xiāng)。而我也強(qiáng)烈支持他的觀點(diǎn)。
