LESSON 9. TIME SPENDING
♦ JOURNEY INTO THE PAST
ОглавлениеI wish I could go on a journey into the past long before I was born. There is no time machine that could take me back1 to my childhood. I can only try to think back2 to what everyday life was like 50, 60, 100 years ago, before TV, before computers, before fridges and washing machines. It turns out that many of our devices date back3 to the early 20th century. I couldn’t imagine that old vacuum cleaner in our attic is just a leftover4 from a bygone5 era.
1 take smth back to smth – возвращать, отсылать ч-л. куда-либо
