Nowadays，many families have only one child. In the past,the children used to go to school alone.

They did housework by themselves at home. When they grew up,they could work hard and do well.

But now things are different.The children are taken to school by their parents every day.Everything they do depends on their parents. When they grow up,they can't do a complete thing without the help of others. So I think it is important for us to do things by ourselves.

Changes in Our Life 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.

Long long ago, many families had three or four children. They couldn't look after everyone well, so the children must do everything by themselves. They were too poor to go to school. Some of them liked learning, but they had to go to find jobs to make money. Since they were children, they could do lots of difficult things like their parents. Sometimes they even did better than them!

But now, many families have only one child and they regard their child as a pearl. They did everything for the children. Every day, when the child gets up, their parents help him to make the room clean. They also get breakfast ready for their child. When the child is free, they can sleep or do other things, but they needn't do any housework. So many children can't cook; wash their clothes, some don't even know how to clean the floor. That's too bad.

In the future, many families will have computers. We can work on the computer instead of going out to do everything. The children also can learn on the computers, so they don't need to move! After a long time, we'll become fatter and fatter. We won't be able to do anything by ourselves!

So, which way is good for us? We must think more.

The difference bewteen past and today.

At past, our parents always thought about the next meal if they could eat enough. But today ,we always think what we can eat.At past, something big happened and we would knew after days even weeks.But today ,when something big happened we can know immediately. Our life is getting more and more better than past.

in the past的用法

如果是用作时间状语，可连用一般过去时或现在完成时，两者的'区别是：用一般过去时，客观地叙述过去的情况;用现在完成时，强调持续到现在的状态或对现在影响。

例句:

In the past he had to read by candlelight.

过去他只得在烛光下攻读。

I’ve been there many times in the past.

我从前去过那儿很多次。

如果是用于名词后作定语，句子时态可根据情况选用。

例句:

He could remember events far back in the past.

他永远也忘不了自己过去的悲惨的童年。
