Life now and then By Betty King Mrs Li is over seventy years old. She has lived in Beijing all her life. I asked her about life today and in the past. What was your life like in the past My family lived in a tiny house. There were no electric lights, only candles. My father was a postman, and he often worked twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. 新知学习 课堂小结 当堂检测 学习目标 重点研讨 She was a kind and loving mother. She didn’t go out to work.
