The life in this country 50 years ago.
Let's start with
some good news - people live longer nowadays.
Children and teenagers watch less TV than 50 years ago
but they spend five times longer on computers, mainly playing computer games.
On the one hand a 50 year period for the country is not very long but on the other hand great changes have been rapidly taking place in this country since the 70s. What are these changes? First of all I'd like to mention the development of new technologies in modern society, for example wireless connection, appearance of the mobile phones. For people from that time it was fantastic but for all of us it's quite an ordinary thing today. Then we can't stand mentioning the Internet that is a necessary thing almost everywhere nowadays and it's difficult to imagine how people lived, worked and studied without computers at that time.
The bad news is the difference between the rich and the poor people. It was much less 50 years ago. But on average, people live now longer: for 78 years (75 for men and 80 for women). It's because now more people try to follow a healthy lifestyle. More people see smoking as a bad health habit; only a quarter of the population smokes compared to 50 years ago. People eat more fruit and vegetables now and less fat.(But still many people are seriously overweight.)
To my mind, on the whole the life in this country became more complicated than it was 50 years ago, but more challenging and interesting.
My favorite pet is a dog. I was given a dog when I was little. And all this time I took good care of her.I walk with my dog every day. When we walk we go to the forest and play there. After walking the dog I bathe and feed her. Evening we relax together and go to sleep.My dog loves me and always protects. I am glad that I have such a friend.
Перевод: Мое любимое домашнее животное это собака. Мне подарили собаку когда я был маленьким. И все это время я хорошо заботился о ней. Я гуляю с собакой каждый день. Когда мы гуляем, мы идем в лес и играем там. После прогулки я мою ее и кормлю. Вечером мы отдыхаем вместе и потом идем спать. Моя собака очень любит меня и всегда защищает. Я очень рад что у меня есть такой друг.
