Life in the past and present
Your grandparents' teenage days
When my grandparents were young, they wrote letters to （写信去）keep in touch with others. They used pens and paper. Their letters were sent by post and it took several days
to reach people. While they were waiting for the
reply, they might feel worried.
Now
Today we write emails to keep in touch with our
friends. Our emails can reach others in a second
and we can get a reply (获得答复) in a short
time. We do not use paper to write emails, so
we can save many trees and help
protect the environment.
