我的故乡
MY HOME TOWN

Malacca is my home town. It is a large and beantiful town where peace and order reigns.

Like every city, there are many roads, but the widest and busiest one is the road where my school is situated. It is the main road. All kinds of trades are carrying on there. The asphalt pavements are very clean. Cars run to and fro, and hawkers hawk along them all day long.

The town has some banks, a post office, a police station and other government buildings. There are also several cinema halls, some amusement parks and a seaside resort.

People houses are as a rule built of bricks, neat and strong. Most of them are either two-storeyed or three-storeyed buildings. New buildings are under construction. The town is growing steadily.

马六甲是我的家乡，那是个大而美好的城市，有的是太平与秩序（凌驾其他一切）。

像各个城市一般，有许多街道，但是最大最宽广及最热闹的一条，是我的学校所坐落的地方。那是一条主要大道。各种贸易在那边经营。那些沥青的铺道，是很干净的。汽车来来往往，小贩整天沿街叫卖.

市上有一些银行，一间邮局，一间警署，及其他政府机关。也有数间电影院，娱乐的公园，及海滨胜地。

人民的住宅，通例是砖建的，齐整坚固，大多数是二层或三层楼。新的建筑物在建造中。这城市是在稳定而持续地繁荣中。
