Dear John,
     I write you a letter and tell you about what the world was like when I was young. __1__. We didn't
have telephones when we wanted to talk to our friends. We didn't have e-mail either, so we had to write
letters.
     When we traveled from town to town, we walked or rode horses or took a cart. __2__ Air travel
was a dream and we dreamed of being on an airplane but now everyone does. It's so common.
     Food is another big difference.__3__We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy
the things we didn't have. We didn't have a refrigerator so we kept things cool in a special room
