I/Read the text and then do the activities.
        Modern lifestyles are completely different from the way people lived in the past. Some
 people think the changes have been very positive, while others believe they have been
 negative.
        First, modern world makes life faster and convenient. The growth of new technologies,
 the cover of the mobile phones and the internet help us solve many problems which were
 extremely difficult in the past.
       Secondly, human’s lifestyle, including the way we live and act, have been changed as well.
 People work and walk faster and more efficiently; “hurry up” seems to be the present life
 slogan. Even though it makes us tired but it’s still positive for society development. In short,
 being in a hurry makes people more active and more useful.
      Finally, human attitude has also been changed vastly. An open-mindedness replaces old-
 fashioned thinking.Now,we have a new way of looking at relationship between men and women
 in the family.
      In brief, modern lifestyle is different from the old on all the sides: attitudes, life
 rhythm and physical condition. There is no doubt that we have to lose something even many
 things; however, what we get in life is noticeable.
