Ex. 10/a

What will life be like one hundred years from now? I don’t know, of course. But this is what I think will happen. First, I think that computers will be much more important in our lives. There won’t be any televisions or DVD players or things like that. I think all those things will be part of a computer. And everything in our house will be controlled by computers. I believe scientists will find a way to make computers talk and think, just like people. That’s scary! Also there won’t be any more pollution. Governments will find ways to stop pollution and we’ll recycle everything. Finally, I think that there won’t be any schools. Some people say teachers will be robots in the future but I don’t think that’s true. I think kids will be at home, using their computers. They’ll do everything online. (Great, because when they’re bored, they can have a bit of fun and play a few online games!) That’s what I think about life in the future. I think it’ll be very different, but very exciting!
