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

　　在过去的二十年里，我们的生活发生了巨大的变化。以我的家庭为例。

　　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.

　　我的父母与其他人联系，主要是给他们寄过去的信件。但现在我们称之为家里的长途电话。我的父母听了电台的新闻和其他信息。但现在我们通过看电视的消息。另一个巨大的变化是在我的生活条件。当他们结婚大约二十年前，我的父母住在一个小房间里挤满了家具。但现在我们搬进了一个新的三间大房间。总之，我们的生活变得舒适和方便。
