Daming asks if they can write about personal safety.
Mr Jackson: So for history homework, I’d like you to write about life in the past and life today. Please answer the question: Is life today better than it was in the past Yes, Betty
Betty: Can we write about anything, such as medicine and pollution
Mr Jackson: Yes, think about how our medical knowledge has grown and, of course, the environment is an important part of our lives today.
Daming: And what about personal safety
Mr Jackson: That’s a good idea, Daming. Do you think we’re safer today
Daming: Well, I think there are fewer accidents than in the past. Life is safer, certainly.
Mr Jackson: And why do you think this is true
Daming: Probably because there are so many laws to protect us today.
Mr Jackson: OK, you can write about personal safety as well. Remember to hand in your homework next Monday.
3. Listen and read.
Mum: It's getting late, Betty. How is your homework
Betty: Nearly finished. Mum, do you think that life is better today than in the past ①
Mum: Yes, of course, I do.
Betty: I do too. People are wealthier today, and they live longer than they did in the past.
Mum: 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. ② But people don't take as much exercise as they used to. ③
Betty: I suppose that's because more people have cars, and they walk or use their bikes less.
