Was life better in the good old days?

During today's lesson, we are going to discuss whether life was actually better in the good old days, or if life is better in our bright new world.



To start off, have a look at the picture and write down your thoughts about it. Have you ever heard someone older than you say that life was better in the past? Do you agree with them or do you think that life is better now? Why do you think people may say that life was better before?

Write down your answers in your notebook!

Then, we are going to read and listen to a text about the Good Old Days and the Bright New World: http://ovningsmastaren.se/ovningsmastaren/index.php/book/index/53  (Chapter 1B: Life Past and Present)
