Great changes have taken place in people's life in the past 20 years. In the past people kept in touch with friends mainly by sending letters. They would listen to the radio for news and other information. Children used to go to school by bike. A big family had to share small rooms.
Now people can talk to others by telephone or on the Internet at home. When they are free, they will watch the news and other programs on TV. And children usually go to school by bus. More and more people live in big and bright aprtments with several rooms. Some families are rich enough to send their childrento study abroad.
In a word ,people live better than before .
