Question

Listen to the following text and in the lines write the past tense of the words

(buy) more things with less money, but there weren't
that many things to buy! Technology wasn't as
(develop) as it is now, and it
(is) much more expensive to import products.
Transportation
(is) cheaper, and people
(are) more polite, everyone
(live) calmer and less
(hurry). Now, people are always running
everywhere, and there's never time to do fun things! Not everything is so bad,
communication has
(change), but people are more connected with one
another thanks to social networks.
it's true that the world wasn't as
(pollute) as it is now, and there
(are) a lot more trees and nature, but our generation
(generate) great values
to preserve what's damaged. Perhaps our generation didn't
(create) this
situation, but it is the responsibility of all of us to make as much as possible to change
our world.​
