Life in the future
What will the life be like in the future?In the future,
everyone will have a computer at home.The computer
will help us know the world better.Maybe each family
will have a robot.Mother won't be busy with housework.
Most of the work can be done by robots.We won't have to
go to work by bus or by bike.We can go anywhere we
like by plane.
In the future,we can buy anything we love on the
Internet.When we feel bad,we won't have to go to
hospital to see a doctor.The teachers won't need to go to
school to work,because they can teach students through
the Internet.
Life in the future will be much more wonderful than it
is now.I will work hard to make the dream come true.

What will our future be like?Different people have different answers to this question.
Jim:I think there will be faster buses or planes in the future.So people will be able to go from one
place to another place in a very short time.For example,people can work in Shanghai in the day and
they can sleep in Beijing at night.

doing many other things.And the water in rivers and lakes will get cleaner.People can drink sea water
directly as well.
Susan:People don't have to do much heavy or dangerous work by themselves.They can ask their
robots to work for them.Robots are very clever and they can understand people's orders quite well.
People can have more time to relax,talk with friends,take outdoor activities and so on.

have all kinds of lessons.They don't have to do too much homework,either.

How time flies The year 2050 is only 24 years away from today.And everyone wants to know about
our future.Although no one knows what is going to happen,we can make predictions about that.
By 2050,there will be at least 9 billion (people in the world.And about 75%of the
world's people will be living in cities.Then there will be buildings touching the sky.Roads will be up to
several floors.
In the future,we will be using more technology devices than we do today,and computers will be
many times faster than today.Flying cars will come in 2050,so there won't be so many cars on the
road.And self-driving cars will come,too.They will make travel safer and more efficient.What's
more,by 2050,50%of jobs will disappear because robots will do most of the work at that time.
In 2050,people would like to spend their holidays on the Moon and Mars.At that time,the Moon
and Mars will be just like the Earth,with trees and plants.To do that,many space scientists are
working on it..It is said that by2O50,we will be able to find aliens(外星人)and their planets.And
the world will not end because at that time people of many countries will protect themselves before the
aliens come.
In 2050,schools will be very different from now.Children will not have heavy bags on their backs.
They will have computers in their hands.Learning will happen anywhere,not just in classrooms.
Robots could help teachers give personal lessons to each student.Also,subjects like space science and
alien languages might become common classes.
