Period 44
• Many years ago, my village was very poor. The villager had to
work hard in the field all day and could hardly make ends meet.
Their lives were simple and they were in need of many things.
Many people had to live in houses made of straw and mud, and
a few families had a radio or a TV set. However, in spite of the
shortages, the villagers managed to send their children to
school and college. They hoped that with an education of
science and technology, their children could find a way of
bettering their lives.
• The children have met their parents’ wishes. When they came
back from college or technical high school, they introduced new
farming methods, which resulted in bumper crops. They also
helped the villagers grow cash crop for export. Soon, the
lifestyle of my village changed. Today, people live in brick
houses. In the evening, they can listen to the news on the radio
or watch TV for entertainment.. Sometimes they go to town on
their motorbikes to do some shopping or to visit their friends.
• “ Our lives have changed a lot thanks to the knowledge our
children brought home” said an old farmer, “and I always tell my
grandchildren to study harder so that they can do even more for
the village than their parents did.
