over the past twenty years or so, great changes have taken place in our life. take my family for example.

　　my parents contacted others mainly by sending them letters in the past. but now we call long distance at home. and once my parents listened to the radio for news and other information. but now we get the news by watching tv. another big change is in my living conditions. when they got married about twenty years ago, my parents lived in a small room crowded with fiirniture. but now we have moved into a big new three-room apartment. in short, our life has become comfortable and convenient.

　　譯文:

　　在過(guò)去的20年中，我們的生活發(fā)生了巨大的變化。 以我家為例。從前，我父母與其他人聯(lián)系主要是通過(guò)書信，但現(xiàn)在我們可以在家打長(zhǎng)途了。

　　以前我的父母都是聽(tīng)收音機(jī)來(lái)了解新聞和其他信息，但現(xiàn)在我們能觀看電視新聞和其他節(jié)目了。另一個(gè)大的變化是居住條件方面。20年前我的父母結(jié)婚時(shí)，只居住在一間擁擠的小屋子里，但現(xiàn)在我們已經(jīng)搬入一套三室一廳的套房里面。簡(jiǎn)言之，我們的生活變得舒適而方便。
