Old life skills

 

Conversation with my grandfather

Grandfather, what was family life like in the past?

In the past, family life was very different. We were very afraid of our parents, and respect for elders was endless. Families were much more united and closely connected than they are today.

Grandfather, what were schools like in the past?

There were fewer people who could go to school. Schools were usually in cities. Children in villages often could not study because of poverty or because there were no schools nearby.

How did you go to school?

I did not go to school, but the children who studied in our area went to school with very limited materials and difficult conditions.

What was technology like in the past?

There were no technological devices. Television was very new at that time, and mostly people had radios. There was no internet, and transportation was not as developed as it is today.

What was the economy like?

Prices were cheaper, but life in villages was still poorer than in cities. Village people did not have the same comfort, luxury, or income as people living in cities.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.
