Communication Tools in My Family
我家中的交流工具
Forty years ago, my grandparents wrote letters to their friends and family. Grandpa worked in the city and Grandma lived in the country, so they wrote to each other. It took one week to deliver the letter. When Grandma asked a question in her letter, it took her two weeks to get the answers! If there was anything urgent, they needed to send telegrams.
四十年前，我的爺爺奶奶給他們的朋友和家人寫信。爺爺在城里工作，奶奶住在鄉(xiāng)下，所以他們互相寫信。信寄到要花一周的時間。奶奶在信里問一個問題，要兩周才能得到答案！如果有什么緊急的事情，他們就需要發(fā)電報。
The telephone became popular in the early 1990s. But my dad's family did not have a telephone until 1998. Although it was much faster than writing letters, it was still inconvenient. Once Dad arrived home late because he helped a granny on his way. My grandparents were so worried about him because he could not call them and tell them what happened. This never happened again after my dad bought his first mobile phone in 2002.
電話在20世紀90年代早期變得流行起來。但是我爸爸家到1998年才有電話。盡管電話比寫信要快了很多，但是仍然很不方便。有一次我爸爸在回家路上幫助一位奶奶，所以到家晚了。我爺爺奶奶好擔心他，因為他沒法給他們打電話告訴他們發(fā)生了什么事情。2002年我爸爸買了他的第一部手機之后，這種事情就再也沒有發(fā)生了。
My favourite communication tool is the mobile phone. I have used it since my thirteenth birthday: My parents and friends can find me wherever I am. It is very convenient, but at the same time it is easy to be interrupted especially when I want to be alone. Sometimes I have headaches after talking on the mobile phone for a long time.
我最喜歡的交流工具就是手機。我13歲生日開始就在用手機了：無論我在哪里，我的父母和朋友們都可以找到我。它非常方便，不過同時它又很容易被打擾，尤其是當我想獨處的時候。有時我長時間講電話以后會頭疼。
