My grandfather is eighty years old. He has seen how 1 things have changed himself. This is what he says:

Families aren't what they used to be. People are too 2 nowadays. Most parents are both busy working. No one has time to 3 children at home.

And the cars!No one 4 any more. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, 5 in winter. But now we don't. And in school,children don't have to think any more. In 6 class, for example, we used to calculate(计算) by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads any more.  7 ,they use calculators.

  Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used toall day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.

And people talk 9 to each other than before. They are too busy to talk,too busy to eat,too busy to think... Life used to be simple, but it isn't any more.

  My grandfather is10 whether the changes are good or not. But he often says life used to be better.
