　　Fashions change as time goes．If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed．An English house of 1750 was different from his grandson in 1860．

　　Today fashions change very quickly．Some of this is natural(自然的)．We hear about things much more quickly than in the past．Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours．
