Over the last century, there have been many significant changes in the way we live. It is hard to
compare the life of the ancient people and the life of the people of the twenty first century because so
many changes occurred. However, even the changes that have taken place over the last ten years are
amazing.
To start with, people were not able to travel such long distances in such short period. They used to
have traditional means of transportations like animals .Nowdays, we have fast and comfortable cars and
planes. Moreover, in the past people used to work much harder as they did not have tools.Nowdays,
machines and computers do most of the difficult and dangerous work.
Another difference between living now and in the past is the fact that nowadays the access to
education is much easier. In the past, there were fewer schools and the quality of education provided was
much poorer. Besides, nowadays it is very easy to find teaching aids you need thanks to the internet.
It is an obvious conclusion that life has changed significantly in the last couple of years .It becomes
much faster and busier than it used to be in the past. Moreover, it has also become more dangerous.
