Phong: Grandpa, do you mind telling me how our lives are different from yours in the past?
Grandpa: Well, there are many differences. In my day, we mostly played outdoors. The games were simple and cost little. We made our own toys from natural materials.
Phong: That sounds interesting. Nowadays, most leisure games depend on electronic devices.
Grandpa: Right, but that is mostly true in the city only. Many children in the countryside still play traditional games.
Phong: I know.
Grandpa: Another thing is that children nowadays have more freedom of choice. They wear short dresses and jeans with holes. They also dye their hair purple and green.
Phong: Ha ha... Not many, Grandpa.
Grandpa: Hm... And many children of my generation left school early to support their families. Moreover, there were not many schools then.
Phong: You mean we have more opportunities to learn now?
Grandpa: That's right.
Phong: Do you think these changes are for the better?
Grandpa: Yes, they mostly are. They have improved our living conditions.
Phong: Thank you, Grandpa.
