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

Families aren't families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broken down. 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 not anymore. Everyone's working. No one has time to look after children at home.

And the cars! No one walks anymore; everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, the children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide in our heads. Kids don't use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators(计算器).

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 nobody eats home-cooked food anymore.

And people don't talk to each other anymore. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think ..

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

It is said that about 7,000 people lose their umbrellas in London every year. That’s a big number. However, many hundreds of years ago, only rich and important people used umbrellas in ancient countries like India, China and Egypt. These rich people didn’t use umbrellas in the rain. They used them in the sun. The Chinese invented the first umbrella for use in the rain. Umbrellas reached Britain about 400 years ago. The first umbrella shop opened in London in 1830. The shop is still open today.

Dear father,

I have never expressed my thanks and respect to you. Today I want to say，“I love you，dad!” In my heart，you are not only my father, but also my good friend.

Since I was born，you have given me all your love and care. In order to create a better living condition and let me receive better education，you have to work hard every day. I always remember your coming home late and feeling tired.

Except that，you are very strict with me. You often tell me to study hard，get along well with others，not to give up when facing difficulties. Once I got a C in the math exam，I felt sorry for it, I thought you would be angry，instead，you weren’t angry with me，you helped me to find out why I failed，and encouraged me to be brave. Since then，I always smile at life whenever I have any trouble. Thank you very much for everything you’ve done for me.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Tom
