　　I think the life today is better than it was 50 years ago.We have better education.Especially girls have the same chance as boys in education.But at the same time,there are more pollution.
　　In the past,the traffic was poor,but now there's much traffic.And in the past,the environment was good,but now it's bad because of the pollution.In the past,it was not easy to go to school,and it cost so much money for a child to study at school.But now,the education is free from Grade 1 to Grade 9.That's must thanks to our goverment.In the past,people used to go to work on foot or by bike.But now,they go to work by bus or car instead of walking or cycling.In the past,there were few medicines.
　　But now,there are so many medicine that works are freer and freer and freer.And in the past, there wasn't enough light at nights so the entertainment in the evening wasn't very good.But now,it's wonderful.Many
　　people make groups and they often dance or sing together.It's a good way
　　to keep healthy.In the past,there wasn't any traffic accident because of
　　the poor transport.But now there are many traffic accidents.Many people
　　died or hurt in these accidents.Do you agree with me? What do you think
　　about our life now and then？
