From the past to the present, our daily life, our hometown and our school have all changed a lot. These changes make our life better and more convenient. Twenty years ago, people’s daily life was very simple. Most families didn’t have TVs or computers. They spent their free time talking with their neighbors or reading books. People usually went to work by bike or on foot. There were no fast food restaurants, so people cooked meals at home every day. But now, our daily life is totally different. Almost every family has a TV, a computer and a mobile phone. People can watch TV, surf the Internet and chat with friends online in their free time. Many people go to work by car, bus or subway. Fast food restaurants are everywhere, so people can easily buy food when they are busy. There are also many take-out services, which make our life more convenient. These changes happen because of the development of science and technology. They bring us a better life, but we should also remember the past. We should cherish the present life and work hard to make our future better. 1. What was people’s free time like twenty years ago? A. They watched TV every day. B.

When I was in Grade Seven, my school was small and old. There was only one teaching building and a small playground. The teaching building was not tall, and the classrooms were not bright. The playground was made of dirt, so it was very dusty on sunny days. There were not many teachers in our school at that time, and the teaching equipment was very simple. We had no computers in the classrooms, and we used blackboards and chalks to have lessons. There was no library, so we couldn’t borrow books to read. After class, we could only play on the small playground, and there were no sports facilities. But now, our school has changed greatly. A new tall teaching building has been built, and the old one has been repaired. The new classrooms are bright and big, and each classroom has computers and projectors. We can have lessons with the help of these modern equipment. A beautiful library has also been built, and there are thousands of books in it. We can borrow any book we like after class. The playground has been expanded and paved with plastic. There are many sports facilities, such as basketball courts, football fields and a running track. After class, we can play all kinds of sports happily. There are also more teachers now, and they are all very excellent and kind. I love my school’s new look. It is a better place for us to study and grow. I am glad to see these changes, and I will work hard to make our school more beautiful. 1.
