Daniel: Kitty, have you found any information for our history project?

Kitty: Yes. I’ve just borrowed this book from the school library. It’s about Starlight Town’s past and present.

Daniel: Let me see. Oh, Starlight Town was beautiful in the past. There were green hills all around. This book also says that the air was very clean and fresh then.

Kitty: That’s true. My family and I visited Starlight Town about ten years ago. I saw some wild birds near the lake.

Daniel: How did you get to Starlight Town?

Kitty: We went there by bus. Local people also travelled around by bicycle.

Daniel: Did people live in flats?

Kitty: No. There were no flats then. Many people lived in old houses in the town.

Kitty: What does the book say about the changes in Starlight Town over the years?

Daniel: It says that the lake is getting smaller.

Kitty: What a pity! I like the lake.

Daniel: Starlight Town has become a modern town. There’s a new railway station now. You can also see many tall buildings in the town.

Kitty: Are there any new roads?

Daniel: Sure. People can now travel by bus, taxi or train.

Kitty: Look! It also says that many people have moved into new flats.

Daniel: Right. I think we’ve got a lot of useful information for our project.
