　　朱博老師解析：

　　關于家鄉(xiāng)的改變，大家不用想的很官方，這樣會導致有很多生詞不會講。我們可以先從problems入手，然后再想想什么改變能夠解決這些問題。讓我們看看常見的問題吧，比如環(huán)境問題，交通問題，食品安全問題等等。這里面最好說的，就是交通問題了對不對!因為該話題需要的素材，大家之前都是學過的呀!

　　開頭扣題，開門見山，把這個美好的變化告訴考官。

　　第一段呢，可以把問題先指出來，渲染一下問題的嚴重性。再下一段可以解釋一下這個change可以如何解決這些問題，就搞定啦。

　　例如下面的這篇素材：

　　I was told that in the near/immediate future, the subway system would beintroduced to my hometown, which I believe is a fantastic change, ‘cause it cansolve quite a few problems that have been bothered our citizens for a longtime.

　　The traffic condition in my hometown, to be honest, is really horrible,especially during rush hours. For example, my mom is always late for work,because her work place is on the other side of the town. If the traffic is good,she needs to spend about half an hour to get there. But actually, every workingday, it takes her at least an hour to get to her office. And for me, my schoolis actually quite near, but I have to get up early, you know, to set aside someextra time, just to make sure that I won’t be late because of the annoyingtraffic. And my dad always loses his temper when he’s stuck in a trafficjam.

　　If the subway system is constructed, I don’t think my mom would be lateagain. You know, the subway always runs on schedule. And I’m sure it’s a bettermeans of public transportation than the bus, ‘cause it’s less crowded and waycleaner. And as far as I know, all the subway systems are equipped with airconditioning, so it would be cozy during summer and winter. And the mostimportant thing is that the traffic congestion would be alleviated effectively.Many people would choose the subway to get around rather than drivingthemselves, because it’s more efficient. I believe the number of trafficaccidents would be reduced as well, ‘cause there would be less vehicles runningon the road. And as a result, our air condition would also be improved.

　　So this change is really good news for my hometown.

　　Language Notes:

　　in the near/immediate future 在不久的將來

　　rush hour 交通高峰期

　　traffic jam 堵車

　　lose one’s temper 發(fā)脾氣

　　be good news for somebody/something 對某人/某事有益處
