1. What did Mrs Li’s parents do
2. Was Mrs Li’s father’s work hard why
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.

Because her family couldn’t afford it, and what’s more, because she was a girl.
Listening Task 1– What was your life in the past

Life now and then
By Betty King
Mrs Li is over seventy years old. She has
lived in Beijing all her life. I asked her about
life today and in the past.
2
My family lived in a tiny house. There were
no electric lights, only candles. 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 before she met
my father. She was a kind and loving mother.
She didn’t go out to work. There were five
children in my family, and looking after us was
more than a full-time job.
What was your life like in the past
I remember the family meals. The food
was simple. We could only eat meat once or
twice a year. I wasn’t sent to school because
my family couldn’t afford it, and what’s more,
because I was a girl.
Reading Task 2 – How has life changed
Mrs Li’s opinion
the change of the role of women
transport and travel today
the appearance
of TV
life today
It’s a good thing. Her daughter has a good education and she can go to work every day even after getting married.
It’s easy for people to go everywhere, but there’s too much traffic.
It helps her to watch so many good programmes, but some of the shows are too noisy.
Life is better today. They eat better and live longer.
Families have got smaller than they were in the past. Today most people only have one child!
The role of women has changed too. My
daughter is really lucky. She has a good education, and she goes to work even after getting married. I’m happy to see she’s busy
working every day, but
sometimes I feel lonely
because she can’t come
to see me often.
How has life changed
Transport and travel are easier today. When
I was young, I went everywhere on foot or
sometimes by bike. Now you can take the bus
everywhere, and there’s also the underground.
And you young people can take a plane to
anywhere in the world.
The only thing I don’t
like, though, is that there’s
so much more traffic. It’s
so difficult to cross the road.
Of course, we didn’t have television when I
was a child. I really enjoy watching television today. There’re so many good programmes,
like the Beijing Opera and old films. But some
of the shows are too noisy for me.
Generally speaking,
I think life is better
today. We eat better and
we live longer.

Changes in my hometown
In the past, my hometown was very small. People lived in a poor life. The houses were old and small. The pollution was very serious, and there was rubbish everywhere. Travelling wasn’t easy, so few visitors came here.
Now great changes have taken place. People are living a better life. Their houses are large and bright. Many people have their own cars. The mountains are greener, the rivers are clearer and the sky is bluer. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world visit here.
I’m sure my hometown will become better and better.
