PART IV: READING

Read about Jake returning to his hometown after being abroad for ten years.

I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years.So many things have
changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small pond on the right as you left town.
They have filled in this pond and they have built a large shopping mall there. A new post office has also
been built just across from my old school.

There is a baseball stadium on the perimeter of Wilson Creek which has been changed completely. They
have now added a new stand where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really great.The
biggest changes have taken place in the downtown area. They have changed the center for pedestrians to
walk and you can't drive there anymore. A European-style fountain has been built and some benches have
also been added along with a grassy area and a new street cafe.

My street looks just the same as it always has but a public library has been built in the next street along.
There used to be a great park there but they have cut down all the trees which is 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 improvement is the number of new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A Chinese and
an Italian restaurant have opened in the town center and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my home
which is where I am going tonight!
