A letter to my grandson
Dear Joe,
I wrote you a letter and tell you about what the world used to be like when I
was young.Life used to be very different then.We didn't have cell phones when we
wanted to talk to our friends.We didn't have emails either,so we had to write letters.
When we traveled from town to town,we used to walk or ride horses or take a
cart(马车).Later we had buses but very few people had cars.Air travel was a luxury(奢
侈品) and we used to dream of riding on an airplane but now everyone does.It's so
common.
Food is another big difference.There weren't any supermarkets so we used to grow
our own food.We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things
we didn't have.We didn't have a refrigerator(冰箱) so we kept things cool in a special
room downstairs.
But the biggest difference is electricity.We didn't have any in our town!At
night,we used to light candles when we wanted light and we burned coal(煤)or wood
to keep warm.We didn't have television.In summer,we used to go swimming in the
river.
Life used to be very different,but we were happy.
Love,
Grandpa
