1 . Life in the future will be very different from that today. Between then and now many changes will take place (发生), but what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people now. Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects at school then.
People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travelling. Travelling will be much easier and cheaper. And more people will go to other countries for holidays.
Work in the future will be different too. Robots(机器人) can do dangerous and hard work. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.

3 . Do you often talk with your parents? Here is some advice on how to talk with them.
Try to start your talk with something fun. This will make talking easier. For example, ask them questions about their day. How’s their work? They love this.
Make it clear what you want to tell your parents. If they have an opinion, let them finish it and don’t stop their talking. Ask them to do the same for you.
Show them respect (尊敬). Listen to them carefully and look them in the eyes.
Be honest. Honesty builds trust (信任). Life is good when your parents trust you.
If your parents don’t understand you, that’s OK. It doesn’t mean they don’t love you. Sometimes you have to explain (解释) the things to them again.
When you finish the talk, thank them for listening. Say something like, “Thanks, that helped.” It will let them know this is important to you, and make them want to do it more often.
