    Jake has returned to his hometown of Wilson Creek after 10 years away. Many changes have occurred in that time, including the construction of a large shopping mall where a small pond used to be. A new post office and baseball stadium have also been built. The downtown area has been pedestrianized so cars can no longer drive through, and new cafes, fountains, and benches have been added. While Jake's street looks the same, the park has been cut down to make way for a new public library. There are also several new restaurants around town, including a Mexican place near Jake's home, which is where he plans to go for dinner that night.

    Changes in Town
    I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years.
    So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small pond on the
    right as you left town. They have filled in this pond and they have built a large shopping mall there. A
    new post office has also been built just across from my old school.
    There is a baseball stadium on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed completely. They
    have now added a new stand where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really great.
    The biggest changes have taken place in the downtown area. They have pedestrianised the centre and
    you can't drive there anymore. A European-style fountain has been built and some benches have also
    been added along with a grassy area and a new street cafe.
    My street looks just the same as it always has but a public library has been built in the next street along.
    There used to be a great park there but they have cut down all the trees which is a pity. The library now
    has a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when the park was there.
    Another improvement is the number of new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A Chinese
    and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town centre and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my
    home. Which is where I am going tonight!
