The Future Library is a project by the artist Katie Paterson. It began with the cutting down of trees in a forest north of Oslo, Norway, in 2014. The Future Library Trust ______ wood from these trees to build a special room — the Silent Room — in the Oslo Public Library. In place of the trees that had been cleared, 1,000 new trees were planted. Every year from 2014 until 2114, a different popular author _____________________ one original story, and the librarians _____________________ all the stories in the Silent Room, where visitors can look at them but not read them. In 2114, the organisers _____________________________ the 1,000 trees that were planted back in 2014. They will then use the wood for publishing the 100 books in the Silent Room. So, in 2114, people ____________________ books that were made from trees that are growing right now.

Dear Past Bingbing,
Hi! I’m Bingbing, your future self! I know that you are really worried about your future career, so I wanted to write this letter to put your mind at rest.
I’m sorry to say that you won’t become a pilot as you wanted. In the future, large passenger airplanes will fly themselves and won’t need pilots. But there is a big problem in the future that you don’t have now: no one uses cars anymore — they use personal jet packs. As you can imagine, the skies over the city get pretty busy! Someone needs to control all these people so they don’t have accidents. And that’s what you do: you’re a jet pack air traffic controller.
a greeting
a description of the future career
One really good point about your job is that you don’t have to leave home. Instead, you’ll use a virtual reality headset and microphone to do your job while you are sitting on the sofa drinking tea. But you will have to work on your people skills, as you will be talking to people all day. The bad point Too many jet packs in the sky! Sometimes it can be kind of tense, and some people don’t like to obey the rules or be told what to do.
All in all, I think you’ll be happy with this job. But of course you will, because you’re me! Stop worrying! Your future is going to be great. Trust me.
Best regards,
Future Bingbing

Dear Past Ben,
Hi! I’m Ben, your future self! I know that you are really worried about your future career, so I wanted to write this letter to put your mind at rest.
In the future, unfortunately (or should I say “fortunately” ), while computers are incredibly smart and can do many things, they still lack creativity. They cannot write novels, paint interesting pictures, or come up with recipes for new and exciting kinds of dishes. And this is where you come in — in the future, you will be a chef working at a fancy restaurant.
Sample Answer
Of course, it won’t be the kind of job like chefs have now. You will mix and cook virtual ingredients on a heads-up display while a robot does all the real work for you. Since the system remembers everything for you, if you are satisfied with the new dish you can immediately have the dish added to the restaurant menu so that the kitchen chefbots can cook it for customers.
All in all, you will be happy with your new job, because we both like to eat! So stop worrying. Your future will be great. Trust me!
Best regards,
Future Ben
Sample Answer
According to the teacher’s and classmates’ evaluation, polish your letter and then hand in your letter before the next class.
