Future Of Our Planet The future of our planet is vague. At the same there are many down-to-earth predictions, which seem to work. At the moment we live in the new era - the 21st century. Many centuries before people have lived in harmony with nature and its riches. Today, we are facing lots of global problems, which should be approached seriously. Otherwise, our planet can turn into an uninhabited space. Most of these problems are the result of technological progress and rapid scientific development. On the one hand, it’s good to have modern advances, such as newer computers, house robots, and office equipment. On the other hand, to launch and maintain all these machines, we need lots of natural resources. Besides, the growing number of plants is extremely harmful for the surrounding nature. As I see the future of our planet, we’ll have an over-polluted environment. That’s why we’ll have to spend most of the time locked in our flats and houses. These are my personal speculations, which might be right or wrong. I see lots of mighty skyscrapers in the future. They will be equipped with all the necessary facilities, for example, with grocery stores, kindergartens and schools, fitness centers and hairdressing saloons. They will remind a city of full value in one building. Speaking about transport, I think that with such technological progress we will soon have flying cars and taxis, which will pick up the passengers from their own flats. Moreover, I think that vehicles will be computerized and self-operated, which will leave the drivers unemployed. There will be lots of new professions in the future, for example, a telesurgeon, a robot counselor, a space tourist guide, a cloning regulator etc. It sounds bizarre, but this can be our nearest future, and we should think about it today.
When December is approaching there
is a breath of winter in the autumn air.
It is getting colder day by day.
The cold makes the hands cold and
stiff.
Soft, white snowflakes are falling
thick and fast covering the ground
and roofs.
When the branches of the fir trees and
pines are covered with snow they look
beautifully.
The snow lies thick upon the ground
and birds hop about looking for food.
A lot of icicles all glittering in the sun
hang from roofs of houses.
Winter is a jolly time for children.
They make snowmen and play
snowballs.
When the weather is fine children
and grown-ups go skiing, skating or
sliding down the snow covered hills.
