During the winter holiday, I was very happy because of the Chinese new year and other reasons. During the holiday, my parents and I went back to my hometown in the countryside in Hebei Province. I had not come back for several years, so that I was so surprised to find that great changes had taken place in this small village in the past years. Almost every family in the village had color TV set and some of them had computers. Many families had their houses newly built or rebuilt. Previously, the tile-roofed houses could be seen everywhere, but now they have taken on an entirely newlook. Motorcycles or even private cars are not luxuries any more.
    One of the villagers proudly told me that he and some other villagers were going to join a tour and travel abroad. Previously, the villagers were busy in their farm work all the year round, but now they have much more time and money to relax or entertain. Traveling has become a new trend among villagers. Seeing these amazing changes, my father said that he would go back to my hometown as soon as he retired. As for me, I strongly supported his idea.
    在寒假期間，我感到非常高興，因為中國的新年和其他原因。在假期里，我的父母和我一起回到我的家鄉(xiāng)在河北省的農(nóng)村。我沒有回來好幾年了，所以我很驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)，在過去幾年中，這個小村莊發(fā)生了巨大的變化。村里幾乎每個家庭都有彩色電視機，其中有些是電腦。許多家庭有他們的房子新建或改建。此前，瓦房隨處可見，但現(xiàn)在他們煥然一新。摩托車甚至私人車也不是奢侈品了。
    一位村民自豪地告訴我，他和其他一些村民將參加一個旅游和出國旅游。以前，村民們在他們的農(nóng)場里工作都很忙，但現(xiàn)在他們有更多的時間和金錢來放松或娛樂。旅游已成為村民們的新趨勢?？吹竭@些驚人的變化，我的父親說，他將回到我的家鄉(xiāng)盡快退休。至于我，我堅決支持他的想法。
