Very often people tend to consider anything related to the old times better than anything you have nowadays.
Why is that? First, I reckon humans usually remember only the good part of past experience and forget about the bad moments. Secondly, Christmas used to represent a unique time to have delicious meals that we hardly ever had during the year, such as a roasted chicken, cakes or candy. And that is not the case nowadays, since we have everything at any time of the year.

ResponderEliminarRegarding this issue, I'm a bit special. Normally people say that the past it was the best part of their lives, and it's true, all people think that. But in my opinion the best part of the life is the future.
ResponderEliminarYou always remember the past, but what about your future? Can't it be better than the past? Yeah, it can because you are the one who will decide what will happens in the future, and you can make it much better.

I think the Young People’s Forest in Derbyshire is a very good idea. It is helps the environment and makes an old place green again. Planting trees is important for the planet and for people.
ResponderEliminarIn my local area, there are some green spaces like parks and small gardens. People go there to walk, play, or relax. These places are important because they give us fresh air and a place to enjoyed nature.
There are a place near my area that could bécame a new forest. It’s an empty land that is not used now. If people plant trees there, it could help animals and make the area more beautiful.
