Interview with my aunt

Interview with my Aunt.

            My aunt Sadiya lived in Egypt for the first 40 years of her life. She is now 75 years old and she still remembers how tough life was back then. When I asked about life in does times, I was not surprised on how little energy utilities they had. 

            My aunt was discussing me that they had very little light. The lamps that were used were powered by a certain gas. Also, cooking was very difficult. When they needed to cook the food, they made a fire using wood and matches and cooked the food. They never had a lot of food in their homes because they did not have refrigerators. When the night comes they would usually use candles or the lamps.

Transportation was also very difficult. A lot of people did not have cars. So they traveled using the trains that was also powered by a certain gas. The train however was very quick and efficient. If the distance they wanted to go to was not very far, they would ride donkeys and horses.

Finally, my aunt said that life had changed so much. She said things are a lot easier now. Transportation is a lot more efficient and they are many means of transportation.  My aunt finally said that she wanted the world to continue improving in energy.
