Discuss: What will life be like in the future
Writing
写一篇“我眼中的未来生活”的短文。
例文:
I imagine a lot about life in the future. I think two words can summarize my imagination. The first word is fast. In the future, we will have more quick transportation means. No matter how far we go, it takes only a short time. With the development of science and technology, we can travel to the moon, the Mars or somewhere outer space. People may live in other planets. The second word is convenient. Because of the fast development of our society, much work can be done by computers or even robots. Lots of things are fully automated. Humans just need to give some simple instructions to complete complicated tasks.
