Question

You want to know about life in the past. Right? I can tell you. When I was a boy, things were different. I had to get up at six every morning. That was not very bad in summer, but in winter it was cold. And we didn’t have any hot water in the house. We had to wash in cold water. We didn’t have a bathroom（浴室）. My dad had some chickens. I had to feed（喂养）them every morning and then I had to walk to school with my little sister. It was about two miles （英里）to school and about two miles back in the evening. But it always seemed longer in the morning when we were going to school. There was a bus, but we didn’t have any money. And we had to goto bed at eleven o’clock every night because I had too much homework and housework to do. We couldn’t watch TV because there wasn’t any. On Sundays we had to go to church （教堂）three times － morning, afternoon and evening. And we couldn’t play outside on Sundays. But it wasn’t all bad. We had some g ood times（时光）. We could go out and our parents didn’t have to worry about us. There weren’t so many cars on the roads then, so the streets were safe to play in. And ther e were not many robbers and thieves in those days. We had to work hard and we weren’t able to buy all those things in the shops today. Life was hard, but it was simple and people were hap pier. I don’t think I’d like to be young today.
