2.Listen and answer the questions.

Mr Jackson:So for history homework,I'd like you to write about life in the past and life today.Please answer the question:Is life today better than it was in the past? Yes,Betty?

Betty:Can we write about anything,such as medicine and pollution?

Mr Jackson:Yes,think about how our medical knowledge has grown and,of course,the environment is an important part of our lives today.

Daming:And what about personal safety?

Mr Jackson:That's a good idea,Daming.Do you think we're safer today?

Daming:Well,I think there are fewer accidents than in the past.Life is safer,certainly.

Mr Jackson:And why do you think this is true?

Daming:Probably because there are so many laws to protect us today.

Mr Jackson:OK,you can write about personal safety as well.Remember to hand in your homework next Monday.
