I want to tell you something about your grandmas time .I was born sixty-eight years ago in a small village and life used to be very different from now . We didnt have phones and we had to go over to our friends houses if we wanted to talk to them. We didnt have e-mail either , so we had to write letters to each other . It usually took a long time before you could receive others reply letters from cities. You cant imagine how excited we were when getting litters from old friends.Transportation used to be a big problem. When we traveled from town to town , we used to walk or ride horses. Later we had buses but many villagers still chose to walk because they wanted to save money for their families Sometimes we dreamt of flying like a bird and traveling to some place far away from our small village.Shopping was not an easy job, either. There were not any supermarkets in the neighborhood. We used to exchange ( 交换 ) things we wanted with people from neighboring towns. We used to grow most of our own food: rice and vegetables. Eating meat was too expensive for us and we only had a taste in big festivals. We didnt have refrigerators so we kept things cool in a special underground room.However, the biggest difference is that you have electricity(电), which has changed your life in many ways. We didnt have electricity until very late in our small village. At night, we used to light candles ( 蜡烛 ) and burn wood to keep warm. We didnt have television of course, but that didnt mean we had no fun. We used to perform our local music and enjoyed the time very much.Life used to be very hard, but I was still very happy. Youre now too young to be able to read this but I thought I would like you to know about the old days and be happy about what you have when you grow up . Remember, feeling good about life is the key(关键) to happiness.Love,Your grandma ( ) 1.
