Cambridge, 20 February, 2050
Dear Mr. Editor,
I read the article last week which compared life in the 1990s with life today. The writer thought that family life then was better than it is now. I don’t agree. I think life today is much better than it used to be.
Life is so much easier and more convenient now. Fifty or sixty years ago, they didn’t have domestic (trong nhà) robots, for example. My grandparents had to do all their own housework!
Today, we can order everything by using our cards, but in the last century people had to go to the shops themselves. What a waste of time! In my opinion, we’re much better off now.
Yours faithfully, John Andrews
