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? 魔法记忆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. 3Listen 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？
Mum：Yes, of course, I do.
Betty：I do too. People are wealthier?today, and they live
longer than they did in the past.魔法记忆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. But people don't take as
much exercise as they used to.
Betty：I suppose that's because more people have cars, and they
walk or use their bikes less.
Mum：Some people think life in the past was simpler and
healthier than today. More wealth sometimes means less
health. When the number of? cars is doubled?，the
pollution is also doubled, or even worse.魔法记忆Betty：What about work? Do people work as hard as they
did fifty years ago?
Mum：Yes, and they sometimes work harder. People
seldom? say they have enough spare time！Why
don't you go and ask Mrs Li, our neighbour? She's
over seventy years old. She's seen how life has changed.
Betty：That's a good idea. I'll go and ask her.
Mum：Remember to speak up！ She's a bit deaf now.Everyday English
