I have lived in this beach city for more than sixteen years. Over the past sixteen years, great changes 【小题1】 (take) place.
First of all, the city has become much 【小题2】 (clean) than before. There used to be rubbish nearly everywhere in the city. The rivers that run through the city used to be dirty and smelly. There 【小题3】 (be) nothing but rubbish in the black water. Thanks to the “civilized city” campaign(运动), the quality(素质) of the residents(居民) has improved, so has the sense of protecting the environment. Now, you 【小题4】 (can) see people litter about. From morning till night, you can see cleaners are busy working 【小题5】 (keep) the city clean.
Secondly, the whole city has taken on a new look. The city government set up the Shell Theater in the year of 2016 【小题6】 now it has become a symbol of this city. Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was open to traffic 【小题7】 Oct. 25th of 2018 and it connected with three cities. It is much easier for the local residents and tourists to travel by land instead of by sea. All the roads in this city have been rebuilt and widened. Besides, 【小题8】 old town has been repainted and decorated so that it doesn’t look shabby(破旧的) any more.
Last but not least, the economy (经济) of this city has increased 【小题9】 (quick). With the help of the high-speed trains, this beach city has greatly improved 【小题10】 (it) ability to attract more investment (投资). Without doubt, the future of this city will be brighter.
