Brownsville

 

The Taylor family lived in Brownsville for many years. And for many years，Brownsville was a very good place to live. The streets were clean, the parks were safe, the bus system was reliable, and the schools were good.

But Brownsville changed. Today the streets aren’t as clean as they used to be. The parks aren’t as safe as they used to be. The bus system isn’t as reliable as it used to be. And the schools aren’t as good as they used to be.

Because of the changes in Brownsville, the Taylor family moved to Newport last year. In Newport the streets are cleaner, the parks are safer, the bus system is more reliable, and the schools are better. The Taylors are happy in Newport, but they were happier in Brownsville. Although Newport has cleaner streets, safer parks, a more reliable bus system, and better schools, Brownsville has friendlier people. They’re nicer, more polite, and more hospitable than the people in Newport.

The Taylors miss Brownsville. Even though they’re now living in Newport, Brownsville will always be their real home.

 

布朗斯威尔（美国地名）

泰勒一家住在布朗斯威尔多年了。连续多年他们都住一个很不错的地方。街道很干净，公园很安全，公交体系很可靠，学校也很好。

但是布朗斯威尔改变了。今天街道没有像以前那样干净了。公园没有他们以前那样安全了。公交体系也没有像以前那样可靠了。学校也没有以前那么好了。

由于布朗斯威尔的改变，泰勒一家去年搬到了纽波特（城市名）。在纽波特街道更干净，公园更安全，公交体系更可靠，学校也越来越好。泰勒一家很高兴住在纽波特，但他们在布朗威斯时更高兴。虽然在纽波特有干净街道，安全的公园，可靠的公交体系，更好的学校，但是布朗斯威尔的人们更友善。他们更好，更有礼貌。而且比纽波特的人更加热情好客。

泰勒一家想念布朗斯威尔。即使他们现在居住在纽波特，布朗斯威尔将永远是他们真正的家。
