XVII. My name is Debra Love and I am a second-generation native of Los Angeles, a city (1) ___________ lies on
the west coast of the USA. As I was born here and have lived in this (2) __________ city all my life, I have
observed the changes that have taken place throughout the years.
It (3) ________ that Los Angeles was inhabited by a group of people who were looking for gold. At the
beginning of this century, Los Angeles was a sleepy little town, and even as recently as the 1950s and the
early 1960s, there were farms and orchards close to our house. (4) ___________, there were gardens
where you could find an incredible variety of exotic plants and shrubs. By the time I (5) ___________
twelve, our neighbourhood had been surrounded by a forest which was burnt down by a fire. Of course,
there weren’t any highways, but there (6) ________________ a good transportation system of electric
trains. The air was usually very clear, and (7) ___________ a young child, I could see the mountains to the
north and east almost every day.
(8) _____________ the natives have tried so hard not to let the city get any worse, now, we have got
highways, traffic and pollution. What a shame! If you (9) _________ Los Angeles forty years ago, you
would have been amazed. With everything changing so fast, I can’t imagine how the city (10)
_______________ within the next couple of years.
It is believed that if the train system (11) _________ kept, some of the traffic problems might have been
avoided. When a lot of people (12) ____________ to the mayor of having traffic problems, he (13)
________ that some new solutions would be found to improve public transportation. Everyone knows that
some of the streets need (14) ____________. (15) ___________ some road construction has already been
started, and workers and engineers are working like bees to finish it as soon as possible, there will still be a
lot more to do when this work is finished. If city planners think more about the future and put more money
to public transportation, we (16)____________ have to spend so much time on commuting in the city.
One other reason why we have so many problems is that too many people moved to this area. If
(17)__________ people had moved to Southern California, the population wouldn’t have grown so fast and
we (18)___________ so many problems now. I wish we had had better foresight and planning in the past
few years. I wish the city weren’t so crowded now. I hope that things (19) __________ improve in the
future. (20) ___________ this happens, we might have even worse problems in the upcoming years.
