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

　　在過去的二十年里，我們的生活發生了巨大的變化。以我的家庭為例。

　　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 furniture. but now we have moved into a big new three-room apartment. in short, our life has become comfortable and convenient.

　　我的父母與其他人聯系，主要是給他們寄過去的信件。但現在我們稱之為家里的長途電話。我的父母聽了電臺的新聞和其他信息。但現在我們通過看電視的消息。另一個巨大的變化是在我的生活條件。當他們結婚大約二十年前，我的父母住在一個小房間里擠滿了家具。但現在我們搬進了一個新的三間大房間。總之，我們的生活變得舒適和方便。
