The Way It Was

By Rosa

My great grandmother rode in a cart pulled by horses to get around town and far away places. Horses also were used to pull ploughs on farms

I ride in a car on the road there are many different types now such as Land Rover,Hulux,Volvo,Golf Range rover and many other.

Women wore Ponchos,Frilly Frocks,bare feet and petticoats and dresses and they always had plaits in their hair. They had much different clothing than we have now.

Now everyone can wear trousers because they have made all kinds of clothing like shirts and skirts.

There was a boy and girl playground. Teachers were also very strict. If you got something wrong you got the strap. You wrote with a ink pen.

It was always ladies first and children should be seen not heard and boys walk by the gutter.

Washing day was always on a Monday and Ironing day was a Tuesday . Only Women did this they got very sore backs doing this.

The movie theatre was very small and they were black and white.

Houses looked like cottages they were very small.

The houses now are much bigger and sometimes 2story.

The End
