MY TOWN - 50 YEARS AGO AND NOW by Cristina

I live in a small city, Viladecans, in Barcelona. 50 years ago the city was very different.

Buildings
It was much smaller and most of the buildings were already very old. Now there are a lot of block of flats. The shops used to be smalls and they there were in the centre of town.
There didn't use to be a shopping centre, because Viladecans was almost all fields.
A lot of people worked on livestock and agriculture. Now there is a shopping centre.

Transport
Transport is very different too. People used to travel on foot, because there wasn't another form. Now people travel by cars, because there are more roads. In Viladecans, there are a train station and a lot of buses too.

Social life
Fifty years ago there was cinema on Saturday and taverns. People used to go to traditional parties. The children played in the square of the village, and they went to cinema too. Now it is different.There is a cinema, a sport centre, a library... There are a lot of shops too.

Conclusion
In conclusion, life was quieter then, and was interesting too, but I think life is funnier now, because there are more things to do.
