— No, I  (study) for the exams at that time.

— Of course you should. But not everyone knows how       that.

—Well, he came late again. But that's no          to shout at him.

— Maybe you can help her        the sadness.

Dear Mike,

    Can you believe I'm in a school of 2030 now? The school is like a  (beauty) garden. The wall  our classroom is colourful. Our school  (live) is interesting and wonderful.

    In the morning, we have (third) lessons. We study on  Internet. We use the e-books. The teachers are all robots. They are in different sizes  they can answer any question about any subject. Our music robot teacher  (play) the violin well. In the afternoon, we go to Mars  (have) two classes by plane. That looks like our plane and spaceship. I can make   (friend) with aliens. They are friendly and know  well. After class, we play football with aliens. Then we go back to the Earth. Don't you think the life in this school is very interesting?

Yours,

Mary

    It's March, 2050. Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and turn on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They get used to reading the Times over the years. The only difference is that they changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.

    After breakfast, as they watch the screen, Mary orders the household robot to make coffee for them. Frank is a computer engineer, working for several companies. He goes into the study to take part in a video conference with his partners around the world.

    Mary takes a quick look at the shopping channels at home before beginning the video phone to talk to her assistant. She also has a job and she is doing medical research.

    Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise, who also has her own work station at home. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Louise is studying Chinese at present. - Chinese has become an important language in the world.

    According to the family doctor, Louise will live to at least 130 years old. Her wish is to work for a few decades and then spend her time on music and painting.
