Dear Mr. Editor,
I read the article last week which compared life in the 1990s with life today.
The writer thought that family life then was better than it is now. I don’t
agree. I think life today is much better than it used to be.
Life is so much easier and more convenient now. Fifty or sixty years ago,
they didn’t have domestic robots, for example. My grandparents had to do
all their own housework!
Today, we can order everything by using our cards, but in the last century
people had to go to the shops themselves. What a waste of time! In my
opinion, we’re much better off now.
Yours faithfully,
John Andrews

disguised as the grandmother. When the girl arrives, he eats her too. A
