Activity 3
Let's read a passage and find out what Mrs Li says.
Task 1 Read the part ‘What was your life like in the past?’ and answer the questions.
1. What did Mrs Li’s parents do?
2. Was Mrs Li’s father’s work hard? How do you know that?
3. Why Mrs Li’s parents didn’t send her to school?
Mrs Li’s father was a postman and her mother was a housewife.
Yes, it was. Her father often worked twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat.
Because her family couldn’t afford it, and what’s more, because she was a girl.
Task 2 Read the part ‘How has life changed?’, and finish the table.
Questions

We have a television at home and can watch so many good programmes.
Life is better today. People eat better and live longer.
