Life in the future will be different from life today. Between then and now many changes will happen. 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 live now.

    Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every room. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects in schools then. People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travels. Travelling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

    There will be changes in our food too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier. Work in the future will be different too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.

What is a working holiday? It is a good way to travel around the world and make money at the same time. During holidays, many university students can travel and work in different places. Some do it because they want to learn something new. For example, they plan to learn bow to speak a second language.

If you are interested our travel agency(旅行社) can help you get a job and plan your trip. You only need to pay for your travel such as the money you spend by air and by taxi.

What work can you do? You can choose from the following.

◆Work for a popular children's magazine in New York.

◆Do some easy work in a museum in Paris.

You can stay for a month or for longer. Think about your favorite place and then decide your trip.

We live in the age of the computer. Scientists, teachers, writers and even students use{#blank#}1{#/blank#} to do all kinds of work. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, more than thirty years ago, computers couldn't do much work. They were big and expensive. Only a few people were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in them and knew how to use them. Today computers are smaller and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. They can do a lot of work for people.

Computers play {#blank#}5{#/blank#} important role in our everyday life. They can work faster than people. Besides, they {#blank#}6{#/blank#} fewer mistakes. Computers can help people {#blank#}7{#/blank#} different work. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} use them to write articles. Teachers use {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to give lessons. Students use them to study Nowadays computers are necessary in our daily life. They make our life easier and more interesting. What do you think our lives will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} like without computers?

Tim and Li Fang are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} going to have any {#blank#}2{#/blank#} next week. They're going to work on a farm. 

They are going to leave at about seven thirty {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Monday morning. They are going to travel to the farm by{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. They are going to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} old clothes because they are going to grow rice. They are going to have fish for lunch. They are also going to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a swim at the farm. 

Tim and Li Fang are excited about {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to the farm. Not only they are going to help around the farm, but also they are going to learn about farming. 

Li Fang is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} that Tim won't arrive on time to catch the bus {#blank#}9{#/blank#}he is nearly always late. Li Fang often has to say to him, "Don't {#blank#}10{#/blank#} late, Tim. "

Hanfu Is Making a Comeback

When Zhang Lingshan was a child, she would watch Chinese period dramas (古装正剧）on television. She was deeply impressed by the characters' ancient clothing. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. She only knew they were from some distant past. 

"When I saw it, I really liked it, " she said. " I was completely drawn by the beauty of these clothes, and I even wear them on regular days openly. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. " Zhang told China Daily. "The return of Hanfu is not about turning back the clock. It's about passing down our culture. "

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. There are Hanfu shops, designers and researchers, and even photography studios that rent Hanfu. In a recently published report by online shopping platform Tmall, more than 2 million Hanfu clothes were sold in 2020. If you walk through major cities, you may see a fan dressed in the sweeping robes, crossed collars and wide sleeves of Hanfu. 

Many people like Hanfu because they see Hanfu as a way to celebrate Chinese culture and find national belonging. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. A growing number of young people are now looking to the past for fashion advice. Christine, fashion researcher based in Shanghai, said "So it's the confidence of the younger people. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. "
