Environment in our Colombian towns: Before and Now.
Ten years ago, our town was smaller and cleaner. The town was less
crowded and there was less pollution. Not far from the town centre
there were farms, rivers and lakes. The water was cleaner, so there
were more birds and fish than nowadays. The forests were bigger
and there were more wild animals.
Our house was in the town centre, but there was a small garden at
the front and a large backyard for us to play.
The roads were quieter because there was less traffic. There were
more trees and parks than there are now, so the
air was clean. Now the town is much bigger. There are fewer farms,
but there is a large airport. The shops were in the town centre, but
now they are outside the town. The roads are busy and have traffic
lights. Our old house is now a police station with some flats above.
We live in one of the new housing estates. Our town is very modern,
but it’s noisier and busier than before.
