Dear Joe ,
Last week, I received your letter and you wanted to know what the world used to be like when I was young. Now let me tell you. Life used to be very different then. When we wanted to keep in touch with our friends far away, we had to write letters. Because we didn't have cellphones or e-mails. When we traveled from town to town, we used to walk, ride horses or take a cart (馬車).Later ,we had buses but very few people had cars. Air travel was a luxury (奢侈品)and we used to dream of traveling on an airplane, but now people do. It's so common.
Food is another big difference. There wasn't any supermarket so we used to grow our own food. We would sell our things and buy the things we didn't have. We didn't have a fridge so we kept things cool in a special room downstairs.
But the biggest difference is electricity(電).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 difficult, but we were happy at that time.
Love , Grandpa
