Mrs Li is over seventy years old. She has lived in Beijing all 1 life. I asked her about life today and in the past. What was your life like in the past? My family lived in a tiny house. There were no electric lights,only candles. My father was a postman, and he often worked twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat. My mum was a farm girl 2 she met my father. She was a kind and loving mother. She didn’t go out 3 .There were five children in my family, and looking after us was more than a full-time job. I remember the family meals. The food was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. I 4 to school because my family couldn’t afford it, and what’s more, because I was a girl. How has life changed? Families have got 5 than they were in the past.Today most people only have one child! The role of women 6 too. My daughter is really lucky. She has a good education, and she goes to work even after getting married. I’m happy to see she’s busy working every day, but sometimes I feel lonely because she 7 come to see me often.Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went everywhere 8 foot or sometimes by bike. Now you can take the bus everywhere, and there’s also the underground. And you young people can take a plane to anywhere in the world. The only thing 9 I don’t like though, is that there’s so much more traffic. It’s so difficult to cross the road. Generally speaking, I think life is better today. We eat 10 and we live longer.
