   Dear Sandy, How are you? This week we did a project on the history of London.

   My grandfather said that London in the 1950s was a terrible place to live because the air pollution was so bad. There were many factories and they caused a lot of smoke. This smoke caused heavy black fog in the sky. The people of London called this “smog”.

   Sometimes the smog was so thick that people could not see anything at all. Taxis and buses could not go anywhere as it was too dangerous to drive. The smog was also harmful to people's health.

   In 1965,the government made new laws about the pollution,and the air got much cleaner. Today it is clean and we never see smog in London,and now people find that it is not difficult to breathe any more.

    Since the 1950s,people from all over the world have come to live in London. My grandfather says that this is one of the best changes. Now he can eat food from India,China,Italy and Germany in his neighborhood.

    I like living in London today,and I am happy to have friends from all over the world.

   Write back soon.

    My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed,and he often says that life used to be better.

     ‘‘ Families aren’t the ones the way they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage,they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children,but now everyone is busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.

    And the cars!No one walks anymore;more and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on schooldays,even in winter. But now we don^.And in schoolchildren don't have to think anymore. In math class,for example,we used to add,subtract,multiply and divide (力口減乘除) using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore; instead,they use calculators (計(jì)算器) .

    Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don^ often eat home-cooked food.

    And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk,too busy to eat,too busy to think...

Life used to be simple,but it isn’t simple anymore."
