C Read the social media post about improvements in public transport. Circle the mistakes and correct them in the blanks below.
I’m happy to be back home. I have just return to my hometown in the countryside. What a smooth trip it was! The high - speed train is fast, comfortable and perfectly on time. I only had to change trains once, and the wait between connecting trains was short. Travelling wasn’t always like this. I can’t believe how easy getting around the country became.
When I was younger, travelling from the countryside to the city has been so tiring. I had to take long - distance buses. The buses were hot and often dirty. The seats were never comfortable. When I have gotten off the bus at the bus stop in my village, I had to wait for my family to pick me up or walk for hours to arrive home.
That has all changed. High - speed trains has replaced slow buses. These new trains aren’t just fast—they’re clean and comfortable too. It’s always a joyful train journey now! There were also many new train lines connecting rural areas to each other—and to major cities.
Public transport improved so much over the past 20 years. China’s modern public transport system made life easier for people around the country. We should all be grateful for that!

Changes in home life
New computer, better life
For a long time, my family didn't have a computer. Then, six months ago, my parents bought a new one, and it has changed our daily life a lot.
Before we had the computer, I had to go to the library to look for information for my homework, which took a lot of time. Now, with the computer, I can search for information online quickly and even take online courses when I miss school. It has made my study much easier.
In the past, our family entertainment was mainly watching TV. Our new computer, on the other hand, brings more fun. We can watch movies together on weekends, listen to music, or play family games online. Everyone laughs more during our family time now.
My grandparents live in another city. Before, we could only call them on the phone. Now, we often have video calls on the computer. I can show them my school projects, and they can see my smile clearly. It has made us feel closer.
Our new computer has greatly improved our life. It not only helps with my study but also brings more happiness and connection to our family. I'm so glad we have it!
