Life now and then
There have been great changes in people's lifestyles in the past ten years.
Ten years ago, people lived in low houses. They went out mostly by bicycle. Now there are tall buildings everywhere. Most families have a car. It's very convenient for people to go anywhere they want. However, When the number of cars is doubled, the pollution is also doubled.
People used to spend their spare time watching TV or reading newspapers and books. It was unhealthy for them to keep doing these for a long time. Now, they more like playing sports and travelling around, which not only improves their health but also helps them make more friends.
Generally speaking, I think life is better today. We live a very convenient life now.
Thanks!
