24、Dear Joe,
I wrote you the letter to tell you about what the world used to be like when I was young. Life used to be very different then. We didn’t have cell phones when we wanted to talk to our friends. We didn’t have e-mails either, so we had to write letters.
When we traveled from town to town, we used to walk or ride horses or take a cart(马车). Later we had buses and very few people had cars. Air travel was a luxury and we used to dream of riding on an airplane but now everyone does. It’s so common.
Food is another big difference. There weren’t any supermarkets so we used to grow our own food. We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things we didn’t have. We didn’t have a refrigerator (冰箱) so we kept things cool in a special room downstairs.
But the biggest difference is electricity. We didn’t have any in our town! At night, we used to light candles when we wanted light and we burned coal (煤) or wood to keep warm. We didn’t have television. In summer, we used to go swimming in the river.
Life used to be very different, but we were happy.
Love,
Grandpa

25、I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(牧马场). The last time I was there he told me his story. When he was young, his family was too poor to have a house to live in.As a result , when he was in high school, all the students were asked to write a paper about what they wanted to be and do when they grew up. That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch. He also drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a beautiful farm. The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F. Roberts asked, “Why did I receive an F?” He teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teacher added, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”
The boy went home and thought about it for a long and hard time. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “ Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.”Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He told his teacher “you could keep the F and I still keep my dream”.
He tells me this story because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of the 200-acre horse ranch. “I still have that school paper now.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago that teacher
brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.” When the teacher was leaving, he said, Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer.During those years I stole a lot of kids’
dreams. Luckily, you had enough gumption not to give up on yours. .”
