Перевод:

– Привет, бабуль. Можешь рассказать нам о своей жизни в прошлом? Было тяжело?

– Молодёжь всегда думает, что жизнь (1) раньше была очень тяжёлой. Но на самом деле она не была плохой, просто другой. И во многом жизнь в прошлом была лучше. Например, когда я была девочкой, большинство людей (2) не запирали свои двери. Нам нечего было красть, так что это не было проблемой.

– У вас был телевизор?

– Да, был. Однако я (3) не смотрела много телевизор. У нас (4) не было трёх телеканалов, на которых раз в день показывали мультфильмы в передаче "Спокойной ночи".

– Что ты делала в своё свободное время?

– Я (5) играла на улице весь день напролёт. Дети (6) играли на улицах. Сейчас они не могут этого делать в большинстве мест, потому что у всех есть машины, так что слишком много движения и это опасно. Сегодняшние дети проводят всё своё время в помещении.

– У тебя были игрушки?

– Да, я (7) играла с куклами и плюшевыми игрушками. У меня был плюшевый щенок, которого я звала Лили. Дети в те дни были немного более изобретательными. У нас не было Лего или Барби, но мы играли картами, камнями, пуговицами, мы делали кукол из цветов и домики из стульев и одеял.

– Разве жизнь не была скучной без видеоигр?

– Конечно, у нас не было многого из того, что есть сегодня, например, компьютеров или мобильных телефонов. Жизнь (8) была намного медленнее и проще. Люди были гораздо более спокойными, они (9) не суетились так, как сегодня. Лучшее во времена моей молодости было то, что люди были более общительными. Люди (10) проводили больше времени вместе.

– Вы путешествовали на лошадях?

– Конечно, нет. У нас (11) были лошади, потому что мои дедушка и бабушка жили на ферме, однако мы (12) не путешествовали на них. У нас были машины, автобусы и самолёты. Я не такая уж и старая!
