‭Mr Nam, grandfather, a 70-year-old farmer‬

‭I‬‭was‬‭one‬‭of‬‭the‬‭few‬‭children‬‭in‬‭my‬‭village‬‭who‬‭was‬‭still‬‭at‬‭school‬‭at‬‭the‬‭age‬‭of‬‭15.‬‭Every‬‭day,‬‭I‬‭got‬
‭up‬‭early‬‭and‬‭walked‬‭to‬‭school.‬‭Learning‬‭then‬‭depended‬‭mostly‬‭on‬‭our‬‭teachers‬‭and‬‭textbooks.‬‭We‬
‭had‬ ‭no‬ ‭library‬ ‭or‬ ‭lab.‬ ‭The‬ ‭nearest‬ ‭bookshop‬ ‭was‬ ‭six‬ ‭kilometres‬‭away.‬‭I‬‭learned‬‭simply‬‭by‬‭taking‬
‭notes‬ ‭during‬ ‭class,‬ ‭memorising‬ ‭them,‬ ‭and‬ ‭doing‬ ‭the‬ ‭homework.‬ ‭Life‬ ‭then‬‭was‬‭simple.‬‭We‬‭rarely‬
‭travelled outside our village, so we didn’t know much about the world around us.‬

‭Mai, granddaughter, a 15-year-old student‬

‭Learning‬ ‭today‬ ‭is‬ ‭very‬ ‭different‬ ‭from‬ ‭my‬ ‭grandfather’s‬ ‭time.‬ ‭It‬ ‭is‬ ‭easier‬ ‭and‬ ‭more‬ ‭convenient.‬
‭Besides‬ ‭learning‬ ‭from‬ ‭teachers‬ ‭and‬ ‭textbooks,‬ ‭we‬ ‭use‬ ‭the‬ ‭Internet.‬ ‭It‬ ‭provides‬ ‭us‬ ‭with‬ ‭various‬
‭online‬ ‭sources‬ ‭such‬ ‭as‬ ‭documents,‬ ‭clips,‬ ‭and‬ ‭programmes.‬‭Google‬‭helps‬‭us‬‭find‬‭the‬‭answers‬‭to‬
‭almost‬ ‭any‬ ‭questions‬ ‭we‬ ‭have.‬‭The‬‭Internet‬‭also‬‭allows‬‭us‬‭to‬‭pursue‬‭our‬‭own‬‭interests.‬‭Learning‬
‭has‬ ‭become‬ ‭more‬ ‭independent.‬ ‭Although‬ ‭most‬ ‭children‬‭in‬‭my‬‭village‬‭have‬‭fewer‬‭private‬‭learning‬
‭facilities‬‭than‬‭the‬‭students‬‭in‬‭the‬‭city,‬‭we‬‭are‬‭still‬‭luckier‬‭than‬‭my‬‭grandfather's‬‭generation.‬‭We‬‭have‬
‭TVs to watch at home and a library and computers at school.‬
