| Subject: 4AM Level Second Term Test Tue Aug 24, 2010 7:45 am | |
| ''4AM Level Second Term Test Life will be very different in one hundred years time. In my opinion, some things will be better and some things will be worse. Firstly, people wont live on the surface of the Earth .Our cities will be under the sea, in large domes. Special machines will provide oxygen and light but the environment wont be the same. Trees and plants wont grow because there wont be any soil. As a result, people wont be able to grow crops. Food will mainly be in the form of pills. If the sea isnt too polluted, people will also eat fish. What is more, I think peoples everyday life will be different. They wont have to work long hours because computers and robots will help them. No-one will have to do housework either. So people will have more free time and they will be able to enjoy the things they like-sports, for example. Finally I believe that everyone will be able to travel to the moon, to other planets and perhaps even to other galaxies for a holiday. In conclusion, I think that life in the future wont be anything like it is now. Whatever happens, though, Im sure the future will be an interesting place to live in.
