    Millie wants to write about the changes in Sunshine Town for her STEM project and now is interviewing Mr: Chen, who knows a lot about Sunshine Town.

Millie：Do you know Sunshine Town very well, Mr. Chen?

Mr. Chen：Sure. I've lived here since I was born.

Millie：Have you ever moved house?

Mr. Chen：Yes. I first lived in the northern part of town with my parents. When I got married in 1965, my wife and I moved two blocks away and we have lived in this area since then.

Millie：Has the town changed a lot over the years?

Mr. Chen：Yes! We only had some small restaurants and shops years ago. And we had a post office and a cinema in the town center. Now the government has turned part of the town center into a new park. We have a new theatre and a large shopping mall, too.

Millie：Was pollution a problem then?

Mr. Chen：Yes, it was. There was once a steel factory near the Sunshine River. They often put the waste into the river. Later the government realized the problem and took action to improve the situation. Now the river is much cleaner.

Millie：Do you think life is better now?

Mr. Chen：Well, in some ways it is. It could be nice to have a beautiful modern town. However, most of my old friends have moved away. It has become impossible for us to see each other as often as before. We used to play cards and Chinese chess together. Now I feel a bit lonely from time to time. Anyway, it is good to see the amazing changes in the town.
