写作思路

Then and now
Our life changes a lot, and it becomes much better than before.
My grandpa told me many stories about his old days. Thirty years ago, there were no buses in his town. He went to work on foot every day. He could only write letters to his friends who lived far away. There were no smartphones or computers at that time. But now, the streets are full of buses and cars. We can take the subway to other cities very quickly. People can talk to their friends on the phone anytime, and we can even see each other through video calls. We can also buy all kinds of things on the Internet at home.
Technology makes our life much more convenient. I feel very happy to live in such a great time!
