I just returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek. I was away for 10 years. So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small lake in the south-east of the town.

They have filled in the lake and built a large shopping center and a swimming pool there. They have also built a new post office just across from my old school.

The baseball stadium(體育場(chǎng))in the north-east of Wilson Creek has also changed a lot. They have now added a new stand(看臺(tái)). Now the stadium can seat a few thousand people. It looks really great.

The biggest changes have taken place in the town center. It has become a pedestrianised area(步行區(qū)) and you can't drive there anymore. They have built a large square and a cinema. There is also a new street cafe and a grassy area.

My street looks just the same as it always has been, but a public library has appeared on the next street. There used to be a park there but they have cut down all the trees. What a pity! The library now has a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when the park was there.

Another change is the new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A Chinese restaurant and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town center, and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my home. I'm going to the Mexican one tomorrow!
