Dear Bob,

The city stands on the bank of the Changjiang River.① It is a beautiful place for people to live in.Its economy has been developing rapidly in the past ten years.New factories,houses and roads have been built.②More schools and hospitals are available for its people.However,there are still some problems,such as water and air pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours.In my opinion,Jiangcheng should develop its economy scientifically.I would also think that the growth of its population should be brought under control so that we’ll have a better hometown in future.③
Yours,
