The change we are most interested
in is electricity. In the past we don't
have electricity to use in popular
like nowadays. It can cause a lot of
disadvantages in our daily life. For
example, 10 years ago, we have to
use oil lamps to work or study, and
saucepan or pot to cook rice, so
sometimes the rice is quite
overcook. However, at present, we
can use variety electricity devices
to serve our life more convenient
such as: electric lamp, cooker,
washing machine, electric fan,…….
