Answer 1

Answer:

There are a lot of challenges that we encounter in our lives. People need to get over these difficulties to live a better life. Some may think life is getting more difficult over the years, but I strongly disagree with this. In my opinion, there were many more difficulties when our grandparents were children than today.

First of all, transportation is getting easier. Nowadays, we can reach our destination faster and more comfortable than in the past. We have amazing vehicles that make our lives easier than ever before. It took days to go from the East Coast to the West Coast. But now it only takes 4-5 hours, you seat your back and fly! You are like a Greek myth now, you can fly around the world. Isn’t it amazing? Since it was more challenging to reach distant areas, people were able to travel less and have less knowledge about different cultures.

Besides, the discovery of the phone and the internet made our life easier in a variety of aspects. First, we are now able to communicate with people whom we loved even if there is a huge distance between us. We can share our feelings, display our affection, tell each other our problems and take advice with phones. Even though it is not the same as seeing people in person, it is a lot better than in the past. Secondly, humanity is in the information era. Humanity has never been able to reach information faster and more accurate than the 21st Century. Thus, people can use their cumulative knowledge to make the world a better place. For example, when I was preparing for the interviews last summer, I learned so many things from the people that passed interviews successfully before. It was meant a lot to me because I didn’t know what I was about to encounter.

In conclusion, people’s lives are way more easy and comfortable in this century. We can share our feelings and experience, visit each other and make fun. People should enjoy all of the opportunities which this century made possible!
