Life now and then
Families have got smaller than they were in the past. Today most people only have one child. There were five children in my family.
My father was a postman, and he often worked twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat.
My mum was a farm girl. She didn’t go out to work. My daughter goes to work even after getting married.
I wasn’t sent to school because my family couldn’t afford it, and what’s more, because I was a girl. My daughter is really lucky. She has a good education.

He is more than a coach. He is a friend.
他不只是教练,更是朋友。
full-time adj. 专职的;全日制的
e.g. students in full-time education

Looking after a child is a full-time
job.
照管小孩是一天忙到晚的活儿。
2. Generally speaking, I think life is better today. 总的说来,我认为今天的生活更好了。
generally speaking表示“一般而言,总的说来”。 in general也可以表达同样的意思。例如:
Generally speaking, we enjoyed the trip.
