My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.

Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.

And the cars! No one walks any more. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think any more. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract(减), multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads any more. Instead, they use calculators.

Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home  cooked food.

And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think.

Life used to be simple, but it isn't any more.
