Dear Jim, Thank you for your letter. I'm fine, so is my sister. You know, she is going to London, so she is packing things now. You were asking me about my holidays. They were the best holidays I've ever had! I spent a month in the country with my grandparents.They are cool! Grandma has cows and hens, so we ate fresh cheese, sour cream and eggs every day! And I swam in the river. I got two new friends, so I should write them letters too. Then, I returned to the city and became a member of a basketball club. Can you imagine, I played basketball for two months! And what did you do in summer? Where have you been? Do you have any photos? I want to see them! Yours, Nick
Each person is responsible for our future world. Almost everyone starts wondering about the future because it is a mysterious thing. Nobody knows exactly what is going to happen next. Today I’m a school pupil and hopefully in a few years I will be studying at the university to get higher education. My dream profession is a lawyer. After the university I’d like to work in the field of law and get necessary experience. I’m sure many things will have changed by then. For example, people have already started caring about nature and its resources more. An increasing number of “green” projects are being developed, which I think is only for good. First of all, many buildings that try to use solar energy have been built. Green architecture designs environmentally friendly houses. Cars are also gradually switching to hybrid or electric power. Another future advance involves space flights. Even at present days people are interested in flying to the Moon or Mars. Future schools will be also different from where we study today. I think that education will become distant. It means that students will be able to study from their homes, sitting in front of their computers. I don’t think that it’s a good idea because many people will become overweight and less sociable. Other future projects include “smart” houses. These houses will be programmed the way their owners want. For example, the lights will turn on whenever people enter the room and go off when they leave it. The doors will open and close automatically. The fridges will start talking. The robots will do the housework. Many of these future advances are already in use.
