Our school is No.1 Middle School. It is not big, and it has a short history, but I’m lucky that I am a student of this school.

Ten years ago, there were not any teaching buildings or a library in our school. The playground was so small that we could only play basketball there.

Now great changes have taken place in our school in the past ten years. There are three modern teaching buildings and there are four modern computer classrooms. We have computer classes every week. On the left side of the school stands a modern lab building. On the right side of the school there is also a modern building—the library. In the library, there are 20 thousand books and magazines. We can go to the library to borrow books and magazines at any time. We have built a new playground. It is much bigger than before. We can play not only basketball but also football and many other sports there. We usually take a walk or chat with our classmates after lunch or supper in the playground. There are a lot of flowers and trees in and around our school. We always feel very happy.

In a word, our school is more and more beautiful and modern. We love our school.

My home town is a small but beautiful town. I left my home town ten years ago. Now, when I came back, I found that it changed a lot.

When I left, there were only a few small shops in my home town. Now, there is a big supermarket in the south of the town. And there are different kinds of things in it. There is also a new hotel. There was a great park there before, but people cut down all the trees. It is a pity.

In the north of the town, there was a town library. It was old and small ten years ago but it is big and beautiful now. And there are more books and magazines in it. People in my town like to go there to read. There is also a new post office just across from my old school.

In the centre of the town, there is a big change: people can’t drive there, but can only walk or ride bikes. There are also more flowers and trees in the town centre, and they are so beautiful.

Another change is the number of new restaurants. There are more restaurants in my home town. There is a new Chinese restaurant in the town centre and a new Thai restaurant near my home. I like the two restaurants very much!

Do you like cartoons? We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears——Mickey Mouse. He is a famous symbol of American cartoons. Over 90 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. It is said that the man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.

Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey is like a common man, but he always tries to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house and girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.

On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today’s cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’s?
