       Things have changed these days. Many old people complain about how fast things have changed, and they say the things in the old days were better. We all know that is not true. But there are really things have been worse.
       1. A lot of families broke down.
       If husband and wife have serious problems, they no longer stay together like before.  Many children
have only one parent. The parent often has to work for a long time to make money. He can't have enough
time with his child.  Even neither his father nor his mother lives with the child. This is bad for children's
growth.
       2. Too much traffic.
       The cars! No one walks anymore; almost everyone drives. We used to walk to school, walked to
factories, walked to parks, even in winter.  But now we don't. We drive everywhere. We drive all the time. It is bad for our health. And the air of the car pollutes our sky.
       3. We are too busy.
       Mother is busy now. In the old days, mother often stayed at home, cooking the dinner for the children and taking care of the children.  But now they have to work all day.  Father is busier than mother.  
Sometimes children can't see his father for weeks. Children are also busy.
       Life used to be poor and simple, but I can't say all the things are better now.
