When our grandparents were young, it was much more comfortable to live than now. (A,D) |
Thesedays, we are living in a society which has developed greatly in many ways. For about 50 years from the past, many things has changed much more comforfably for people to live in my country, Korea. In the past when our grandparents were in my age, there were not enough convinient facilities we have now. Moreover, many people in the past had suffered from lack of food and money. However, today's governement help the poor providing money and food constantly. Hence, we can say that it is more comfortable to live now than the past.
First of all, development of technology has brought comfortableness to our lives. They had to do all their works by hand instead of automatic machines we use now. For instance, since there was no laundry machine, they had now choice but to wash their cothes by their hands. Moreover, TV was rare at that time, so people did not know much about how things are going around the world. These shows how this society has been grown up with new technology and IT industry and make it easier for people to live.
Moreover, many people in old days had money and food problems since most of them were poor. Government could not do anything for them like they do today. Many children were not able to go to school eventhough they wanted to be educated. Some of them used to drink water to fullfill their hunger. They even had to walk to their school which is located far away from their houses because there were no school buses or cars.
In conclusion, I strongly disagree with the statement that it was more comfortable to live in my grandparents' era than now. People lived in the old days suffered not only from uncomfortable facilities but also from lack of money and food. |
