As I looked at this girl, I saw that she was seated in her chair. I realized she was disabled,without any arms or legs, just a head,
neck and body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots. As the couple pushed her up to me, I was looking down at the cash register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink. As I took the money from her grandparents, the girl gave me the biggest smile I had ever seen. All of a sudden, her disability disappeared. All I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile gave me a new sense of life. She took me from being a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world of smiles, love and warmth.

The changes in my hometown
In the past, my hometown was very small. People lived a poor life. The houses were old. The pollution was serious, and there was rubbish everywhere. The traffic was not very convenient, so few visitors came here.
Now great changes have taken place here. The environment has become more beautiful. The mountains have turned greener, the rivers are cleaner and the sky is bluer. People live a better life. Their houses are large and bright. Many people have their own cars. Every year, thousands of visitors from all over the world come to visit my hometown.
I'm sure my hometown will become better and better in the future.。
