 Do you know the changes of life in China? Hundreds of years ago, life was much simpler than it is today. People didn't have modern machines, and they had no time or money to enjoy leisure activities. Many children couldn't get an education. However, things have changed greatly since China's reform and opening-up in the late 1970s. People's living conditions have improved a lot now. People can enjoy longer holidays and get more incomes (收入).So they have more chances to relax and live a colorful life. They move into tall and bright buildings. Most children study in schools with new classrooms and modern teaching equipment(设备).After school, they can also take pari in club activities or play sports. Communications are becoming easier and quicker. People use telephones，cellphones，fax machines，QQ or MSN and the Internet to keep in touch with each other. Sending a message to your friends far away only takes you a few seconds(秒). Because of these modern inventions(发明)，our life is becoming much more convenient than before.
