Obviously, it is difficult to compare the life of ancient people and the life of the people living in the twenty- first century because so many changes have occurred. Even the changes that have occurred over the last ten years are amazing. To start with, in the past people had to work harder as they did not have tools and machines to make their work easier. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and other powerful machines. In the past living conditions were not as comfortable as they are now. Besides, many people could not afford household appliances like a fridge or a vacuum cleaner because those used to be luxurious goods. Another difference between living now and in the past is the fact that nowadays education is accessible to everyone. In the past men were mainly the only ones educated and women were not allowed into public or private schools. Besides, nowadays it is much easier to find the educational materials and the information you need – thanks to the Internet. We are able to speak to a friend who is on the other corner of the world because we are connected 24/7. Nevertheless, people had better relationships with the neighbors in years gone by. All things considered, it is an obvious conclusion that life has changed significantly during the course of history. In some ways, it is definitely easier to live in the present. On the other hand, however, life now is much faster and stressful than it used to be in the past. The standard of living has definitely improved but it can be discussed whether the quality of our lives is also better. A. Decide whether the following sentences are true (T) or false (F). 1. Life nowadays is the same as life of our ancestors. 2. Technology has made our lives easier. 3. In the past, household appliances were very expensive. 4. Public schools allowed females and males to be educated in the same schools. 5. We can use the internet to communicate with people around the world. B. Answer the questions. 6. Is life today faster or slower than life in the past? 7. What has happened to the standard of living? 8. What makes it easy to access information? 9. Who or what does some difficult jobs for us? 10. What makes our lives easier at home? XI. Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word in capital. 1.
