Long ago and Now

Long ago now

Long ago, people sent someone else to deliver letters far away. Now, we send e-mails through our computers.

Long ago, people used candles to see at night. Now, we turn on the lights with a switch.

Long ago, people brought water into their home with buckets. Now, we get water from faucets on our sinks.

Long ago, people cooked over a fire to make their meals. Now we cooked on a stove.

Long ago, people used straw brooms to sweep dirt off the floors. Now, we use vacuums to clean dirt out of the carpets.

Long ago, people washed clothes by hand. Now, we use a washing machine.

Long ago, people drew pictures by hand. Now, we use a camera to take pictures.

Life long ago was different than it is now.
