Task 5
Mum: M Betty: B
M: It’s getting late, Betty. How is your homework
B: Nearly finished. Mum, do you think that life is
better today than in the past
M: Yes, of course, I do.
B: I do too. People are wealthier today, and they
live longer than they did in the past. M: That’s true. We know more about medicine today,
and there’s less fear of getting ill because we know
how to deal with the ordinary diseases. But
people don’t take as much exercise as they
used to.
B: I suppose that’s because more people have cars,
and they walk or use their bikes less.
Mum: M Betty: B
M: It’s getting late, Betty. How is your homework
B: Nearly finished. Mum, do you think that life is
better today than in the past
M: Yes, of course, I do.
B: I do too. People are wealthier today, and they
live longer than they did in the past. M: That’s true. We know more about medicine today,
and there’s less fear of getting ill because we know
how to deal with the ordinary diseases. But
people don’t take as much exercise as they
used to.
B: I suppose that’s because more people have cars,
and they walk or use their bikes less.
M: Some people think life in the past was simpler and
healthier than today. More wealth sometimes
means less health. When the number of the cars
is doubled, the pollution is also doubled, or even
worse.
B: What about work Do people work as hard as
they did fifty years ago
M: Yes, and they sometimes work harder. People
seldom say they have enough spare time! Why
don’t you go and ask Ms Li, our neighbour She’s
over seventy years old. She’s seen how life has
changed.
B: That’s a good idea. I’ll go and ask her.
M: Remember to speak up! She’s a bit deaf now.
