1. Technology: One of the most significant differences is the advancement of technology.

Nowadays, we have access to various devices and gadgets that make our lives more
convenient. For example, smartphones, laptops, and the internet have revolutionized
communication and information access.
2. Communication: With the advent of technology, communication has become faster and
more accessible. In the past, people relied on letters and landline phones for long-distance
communication. Today, we can connect with anyone around the world instantly through
video calls, emails, social media, and messaging apps.
3. Information access: In the past, obtaining information required visiting libraries or relying
on printed materials such as books and encyclopedias. Today, we can access vast amounts
of information through search engines and online databases with just a few clicks.
4. Transportation: Transportation has become faster and more efficient. In the past, people
relied on horses, carriages, or walking for long distances. Now, we have various modes of
transportation, including cars, trains, airplanes, and even spacecraft, allowing us to travel
longer distances in shorter periods.
 5. Healthcare: Advances in medical science have significantly improved healthcare. Modern
medicine has led to the development of vaccines, antibiotics, and advanced treatments for
various diseases. Life expectancy has increased, and many illnesses that were once fatal
can now be effectively treated or managed.
6. Lifestyle and convenience: Modern living offers more convenience in many aspects of life.
We have appliances and technologies that make household chores easier, such as washing
machines, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners. Online shopping and delivery services have
made shopping more convenient, and we have access to a wide range of entertainment
options like streaming services and video games.
7. Social changes: Society has undergone significant changes over time. Attitudes towards
issues such as gender roles, racial equality, and LGBTQ+ rights have evolved, leading to
more inclusive and diverse societies. The concept of family and relationships has also
changed, with more acceptance of various family structures.

In the past, people faced challenges such as limited access to advanced healthcare, scarce
resources and technology, lack of rights and opportunities for certain groups of people,
and difficulty in long-distance communication. There were also threats like wars and
conflicts that could endanger people's lives.
In the present, although we have made progress in many aspects, we also face new
challenges. The fast-paced lifestyle, stress, social pressure, technological advancements
that can lead to addictions, economic uncertainty, and environmental issues are just a few
examples of current difficulties.

3. Topic sentence: Modern life is easier in many ways. Examples: 1 electrical appliances to
make our lives easier 2 have more time 3 opportunity to travel the world, experience new
cultures Conclusion sentence: As a result, people are living less stressful and more
interesting lives.

Technology advanced a lot in different aspects such as communication, health, free time

1 I keep in touch with friends and family through a variety of methods, including phone calls,
instant messaging, email, and occasionally writing letters or sending cards. I use phone calls for
direct conversations and enjoy hearing their voices. Instant messaging is convenient for real-time
text messages, photos, and video calls. Email is useful for formal communication and sharing
important files. Occasionally, I also enjoy the personal touch of writing letters or sending cards by
traditional mail. The choice of method depends on the nature of the communication and
individual preferences.
