I live in a flat with two bedrooms. I have electricity to cook meals and charge(给......充电) my mobile phone. I can walk to the supermarket nearby to buy meat, fruit, vegetables and so on, How comfortable my life is!
However, I always expect something different. What will life be like without all the modern conveniences? Last Friday, I got a chance to get the answer to this question.
My cousin Jack has a treehouse at the top of a hill in Colorado. Staying in that treehouse is like going back in time. There is no electricity or running water. There are only two chairs and a bed in the house.
Jack told me how to cut wood, make a fire and cook over a fire. Time was everything. We had to start to make dinner early so that we could have enough daylight to do that.
But the life without computers, TVs, and smart phones was not bad. There was plenty of time for talking, walking and going sightseeing. I also slept better there.
Jack s sister Jenny cooked breakfast for us. In the morning, when I woke up, I could smell the delicious food with the morning light warming my face. I stayed there for two days. On Sunday afternoon, I had to leave the treehouse and go back home.
It's hard to say which kind life is better. However, I do think we should try to enjoy a break now and then from the convenient and busy modern life.
