21、My grandfather often complains about how things have changed, and says that life used to be better.

Families aren’t families the way they used to be. Many people are divorced（离婚的）. If husband and wife are having problems with their marriage, they don’t stay together any more. And mothers used to stay at home to take care of their children, but now not any more. Everyone’s working. No one has time for children any more. They are left for their grandparents.

And the cars! No one walks any more; everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winters. And in school, the children don’t have to think any more. In math class, for example, we used to add, minus, multiply, and divide in our heads. Kids don’t use their heads any more; they use calculators.

Most families have computers now. In the old days, we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have electricity. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. Nobody eats home-cooked food any more. And people don’t talk to each other any more. 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.
