My Home Town — Now and Then

My family is from a small island in the Mediterranean Sea. We live in a town in the east of the island. It's a big town — 50,000 people live here. Lots of people come here on holiday every year and in July and August it is very busy. There are lots of big hotels and high buildings. There are lots of cars and taxis. It is very hot in July and August — there's never a cloud in the sky! You can swim in the sea and walk in the mountains.

In 1930, when my grandmother was young, the town was very different — there were only 10,000 people here. Now you can fly here, but in 1930 there weren't any planes to the island. There were only slow boats. There were two boats every week. There weren't a lot of buildings and there were fields and trees around the town. There were no hotels and there was only one restaurant. There weren't lots of cars and taxis on the roads. In 1930, this was a quiet town and there were only Spanish people here. Now there are lots of people from different countries.
