Is the life better now than 100 years ago?

It is believed that life nowadays is better than it was 100 years ago, but we can easily find powerful arguments to show us that, in some ways, are this is not true at all.

Firstly, we can see that people live longer and better now than before. However, it is true too, that nowadays, people could have different and more dangerous deseasses diseases, which few years ago are bitterly strange. (I'm not sure what you mean here - maybe 'did not exist?')

Secondly, the children latetly currently entertain theirselves themselves with videogames video games, social networks and similar (types of things), although whereas 100 years ago, people used to pass the time playing outdoors, and iteract interact with real people. Consequently, children in our days are less delighted happy.

Finally, the transport is increasingly better now; we have more types of transport like planes, subways, high speed railways, etc. and also the roads and highways are marvellous much better  than before.

Let me conclude by saying that / In conlusion,  it is true that in some aspects we live better life is better than it was 100 years ago, such as long-lasting life longer lifespans , faster and better communications, but on the other hand, we are more lousy lazy and more sick / prone to illness than before.

Hi Cristina! This is great, an interesting read with difficult language. You have very good English skills :)

Countryside

My ideal place to live would be the countryside. I love the silence, the sounds of nature, and the trees, all green. (this still sounds slightly odd but it's ok).

I also like the city, and actually I live in a nice part with many green areas. And Every morning, my daughter and I enjoy the beauty of the trees on our way to school.

When I think about my retirement, I would like to be in a small town in the north of Spain. A small town with a small bakery where I can buy handmade bread every morning, next to a farm where I can buy vegetables, fruits and eggs.

Thanks for reading this!

Hi Yuli, 

This sounds so lovely! I also love the countryside and I'd like to live closer to it one day. If you'd like to chat we can practice English and Spanish together :)
