Question

Read the text and answer the questions.
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.
