7. Discuss these questions with a partner or with your class: 1) What do you think was the most interesting thing about ancient China? 2) Do you think life was similar for people in your area 3,500 years ago? What do you think was the same and what do you think was different? 3) Do you think life was better then or is it better now for most people?
I think the most interesting thing about ancient China was the development of writing and the discovery of bronze.
Life was similar because people lived in families, worked, farmed and traded. It was different because they had no modern medicine, electricity, cars or computers, and most people lived in simple houses.
I think life is better now for most people because we have better medicine, safer homes, more education and easier ways to travel and communicate.
