24、My grandfather often complains (抱怨)about how fast things have changed, and says that life used to be better. Families are not families they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife are having problems with their marriage, they don't stay together any more. Mothers used to stay at home to take care of their children, but not anymore now. Everyone's working. No one has time for children any more. They are left for their grandparents.

And the cars! No one walks anymore. Everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. And in school, the children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, minus, multiply, and divide in our heads. Kids don't use their heads anymore. They use calculators(计算器). 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. But now fewer people eat home-cooked food. And people don't talk to each other anymore. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think... Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore.
