W: You want to know about my life in the past. Right? I can tell you. When I was young, I lived in the countryside and had to get up very early in the morning. Every day, I cooked breakfast for myself because my parents are busy working on the farm. After breakfast, I had to feed our chickens in the yard. Then I had to walk two kilometers to school with my little brother. After supper, I did my homework for about one hour. On weekends, I often climbed the hills around the countryside with my friends. Life was hard at that time, but it was simple and people were happier.
