People will work fewer hours than they did in 20th century. They will have more free time for sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And more people will go to other countries for their holidays.
There will be changes in food, too. More farmland(农田) will be used for (被用作) building towns and houses. Then there will be less room to feed cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe nobody will eat it every day. Instead(相反),they have to eat more fruit and vegetables. Many people will be healthier.

A
Courses in American High Schools
Let me tell you something about the courses (课程) in American high schools. In the schools most students there take English, science, math, and history. These are called basic (基础的) courses and each of them is as useful as the others are.
In English classes, the American students study grammar and read famous literature (文学作品). In science classes, they study biology, chemistry (化学) or physics and so on. History is more interesting to some students because they learn about important and significant (有意义的) events and places in the USA in history.
Also, students take other courses, too. These are called elective (选择性的) courses. Students can choose homers (家政学), computer science, etc. Students do not have to take all of these courses. Some study music because they feel it more enjoyable and they like it very much.. Some study computer science because they think it more useful.
In each class, in both basic courses and elective courses, I mean, teachers give students exams and tests. Some exams and tests are quite difficult, but a good and hardworking student can always do well. Don’t you think so? I hope you will agree with me.
