Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, puters, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play puter games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better.(194 words) 9^ Appendix IUnit 2Part I PreReading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are going to listen to is called Abraham, Martin amp。t much material temptation around them.
