Note to recorder:

a little bit slow, thank you!

There is a natural park named Xi Gu Park near my home. It is located in Hongqiao district. Tianjin, my hometown, is famous for 72 Gu and xi Gu is one place of them. As Gu means a place with several small rivers and lakes, Xi Gu Park is a wonderful place for children to play in their free time. In my childhood, I loved tons of trees grown on the river sides and I always found fun hunting grasshoppers, listening to birds chirping on tree tops and catching fish on the riverside. Unluckily, the beautiful scenery has gone with the wind. After my university study life, I came to the park for tracking down memory lane. This short trip really did give me a surprise. Rows of trees were demolished for placing large amusement equipment. Without trees and grass, sand was blown away, which made me feel like being in a desert. Walking around this park, I didn't hear any birds chirping and find any small insects either except flies and mosquitoes. What's worse, all rivers so stank, which almost predicted the end of Xi Gu Park. Small green plants covered the surface of rivers, like a grassy lawn but a strong smell filled the air. So sad! No fish swimming in rivers! No birds flying in sky! A load of plastic wastes were thrown away all around! I really miss what the park was like before.
