Can you imagine what our lives will be like in the year 2050? Perhaps you will be flying off for a holiday on the moon, or maybe you will be taking your dog for a walk in the virtual reality.
We recently carried out a survey of 1,000 people from different countries to find out what they think life will be like in the future. The results clearly demonstrate both our hopes and fears. The survey suggests that friendship - one of the most important human relationships -will have changed dramatically.
People will make friends through the Internet. What is more, a large number of people will even come across their future husbands or wives in this way! Computers will have become absolutely essential by 2050. Even now, some people describe them as their best friend! Others, however, say that we will become much more isolated from each other because we will have little real human contact.
Education will have changed a lot too. As more and more children will be using computers in schools, certain abilities, such as mental arithmetic will not be necessary since there will be computer programs. Even writing by hand will have become a thing of the past.
According to the survey, home life will be better. Most people believe that by 2050 robots will be doing the housework and we will be eating ready-made food. A lot of people think that we might only cook for fun in the future.
Space exploration will become increasingly popular. Fifty per cent of the people we talked to believe that man will regularly visit Mars. They also believe that travel on our own planet will probably change. Almost everyone thinks that there will be no cars in the city centers. Some even think that environmentally-friendly electric or solar-powered cars will have replaced the cars we use nowadays. Pollution is something that seems to worry many people. Some fear that it will continue to get worse, and that our planet will become impossible to live on. Others even foresee that one day we'll have to pay for clean air just like we do now for clean water.
On the other hand, people seem to be quite optimistic about the benefits of genetic engineering, as they think scientists will use it to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS. If scientists manage to find a cure for these, we'll have a much healthier society. Some people worry about the future, while others are full of hope and enthusiasm. No matter how dark or bright it may seem, it is up to us to look after our planet and try to make it a better place to live.

d. cumulonimbus clouds
Пояснення:
Cumulonimbus clouds develops vertically and are referred to as unfair weather cumulus. They are formed when warm and moist air rises in the upward direction where it eventually cools and condenses into a Cumulonimbus clouds. As the condensation takes place, the air inside the cloud gets warmer than the air surrounding it. Due to this the air becomes unstable and the cloud keeps on growing vertically. As the cloud precipitates it bring hail, thunder storm and lightning.

Я живу в москве. В городе очень много мусора. Проблема отходов стала сегодня одной из самых важных экологических проблем. Вынося из дома мусор, мы редко задумываемся о том, что же с ним происходит дальше. А происходит вот что: в Россиибытовые отходы, в основном, вывозятся на полигоны или попросту – свалки. По статистике, каждый из нас отправляет на свалку примерно 400 кг мусора в год. Свалки неэффективны в борьбе со всё более возрастающим объемом отходов, кроме того, выделяя вредные вещества, они наносят немалый вред окружающей среде и здоровью человека. Научившись правильно обращаться с бытовыми отходами и не допуская бездумного потребления природных ресурсов, каждый из нас может хотя бы немного улучшить окружающую среду.
Что же конкретно каждый человек может сделать для того, чтобы уменьшить количество мусора на нашей планете? Главные принципы борьбы с отходами, по мнению ученых, следующие: не производить лишниймусор; вторично использовать ставшие ненужными вещи; сдавать вторсырье на переработку.

I live in Moscow. There is a lot of garbage in the city. The problem of waste has become one of the most important environmental problems today. Taking out the garbage from the house, we rarely think about what happens to it next. And what happens is this: in Russia, Household waste is mainly exported to landfills or simply landfills. According to statistics, each of us sends about 400 kg of garbage to the landfill per year. Landfills are ineffective in dealing with the ever-increasing volume of waste, in addition, releasing harmful substances, they cause considerable harm to the environment and human health. By learning how to properly handle household waste and avoiding mindless consumption of natural resources, each of us can at least slightly improve the environment.
What exactly can each person do to reduce the amount of garbage on our planet? The main principles of waste management, according to scientists, are as follows: do not produce excess garbage; re-use things that have become unnecessary; hand over recyclable materials for recycling.
