① |
Mrs. Li is over 70 years old. She has lived in Beijing all her life. A reporter interviewed her yesterday. The following are their questions and answers. |
② |
Reporter: What was your life like in the past? |
③ |
Mrs. Li: My family lived in a tiny house. 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. |
④ |
The food we ate 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. |
⑤ |
Reporter: How has life changed? |
⑥ |
Mrs. Li: Families have got smaller than they were in the past. The role of women has changed too. My daughter is really lucky. She has a good education. I’m happy that she can go to work even after getting married, but sometimes I feel lonely because she can’t come to see me often. |
⑦ |
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, the underground or a plane to travel. What I don’t like is that there’s so much more traffic. It’s so difficult to cross the road. And, of course, we have television today and I really enjoy watching TV. But I hate some of the shows because they are too noisy for me. |

Generally speaking, I think life is better today. We eat better and we live longer. |
