In today’s world, we can say that we have been through a lot changes in health, entertainment, technologies, etc. We have to get used to all these changes. Some of these changes are not considered good for us.
Health care has taken great strides in for example the treatment of cancer. <em>mas natural: </em>There have been great strides made in health care, for example, in the treatment of cancer. Many people used to die because of cancer, but now most of the people can get through it. We can say too that now for example there are no deaths because of tuberculosis.

Another thing that has changed a lot is <strike>the</strike> entertainment. There wasn’t any television 100 years ago. We didn’t have computers and mobile phones either. Nowadays, the internet is considered one of the main sources of entertainment.
In my opinion, changes can be good. The improvement in <strike>the</strike> health is a really good thing because the deaths because/from of illness have been decreased. But for example some changes that we have in <strike>the</strike> entertainment are not all good. In my opinion there are a lot of people focused all the time on the internet instead of being outdoors playing typical games as we used to do before we invented the Internet. <em>(más natural, usa la voz pasiva: .....before the internet was invented</em>
