I am trying to help my daughter

I am trying to help my daughter and anything I am coming up with doesn't make since. I can barely write sentences.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

La vida de ayer y hoy Describe what people's lives were like in the early 1800s and what they are like now. Mention the things that people used to do and the things they do now (you may want to use adverbs like siempre, nunca, and a veces). Then mention the things that people should do to ensure a better quality of life in the future (you may want to use phrases like es importante que... and es necesario que...).

Hola Amy, so how is the studying going for your daughter? I can't remember how much vocabulary she has, will any of the ideas below help you get started?

If you already have the sentences but don't have the Spanish, send us the sentences with your attempt. How soon is the assignment due?

La vida de ayer y hoy Describe what people's lives were like in the early 1800s and what they are like now.

No running water, buckets of water brought from the stream dirt floors, no electricity but oil lamps, no TV, radio, Iphones, Ipad, Ereaders, No cars so walked to school.

Mention the things that people used to do and the things they do now (you may want to use adverbs like siempre, nunca, and a veces).

work from dawn till dark, early to bed, early to rise, home made everything. Gardens, sewing, candles, spun wool

Then mention the things that people should do to ensure a better quality of life in the future (you may want to use phrases like es importante que... and es necesario que...).

Ok this is what my daughter has came up with for her paragraph. Does it make sense? She is in 8th grade. She is more advanced than me in my Spanish class! Thank you to everyone who helps me with her and her homework!

People lived in the early 1800s with no luxuries. No running water, buckets of water brought from the stream, dirt floors, no electricity but oil lamps, no TV, radio, Iphones, Ipad, Ereaders, No cars so walked to school. To ensure a better quality of life people should recycle to preserve the lands

Personas que viven en los principios del 1800 y nada de lujos. No disponen de agua corriente, baldes de agua desde el arroyo, pisos de tierra, no la electricidad, sino las lámparas de aceite, ni televisión, radio, Iphone, el Ipad, Ereaders, ni coches tan caminado a la escuela. Con el fin de garantizar una mejor calidad de vida la gente debe reciclar para preservar las tierras.
