What do you think life will be like in the future? I don't think we will have to do some unpleasant housework at home because r{#blank#}1{#/blank#} can help us. For example, they will help us c{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. The food they cook will be healthier and more delicious. We will f{#blank#}3{#/blank#} in love with such food. Then we will s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} more time reading books which can make sound. We will only need to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to them.

    A new {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of clothes will be made. They will be warm in winter and cool in summer. We can fly freely in s{#blank#}7{#/blank#} like an astronaut to any planet in this kind of clothes. R{#blank#}8{#/blank#} will probably become very common transportation.

    S{#blank#}9{#/blank#} are making science develop faster and faster. They predict that our life will be better and better. I believe the prediction will come {#blank#}10{#/blank#} soon.

      Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about an overseas student {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) in Germany. After{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (year) hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone thought he was going to get a good job easily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even given the  chance for an interview! The third time he was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (refuse), he couldn't help {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (telephone) the company to ask  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}they didn't want him. The answer was simple. “ We don't offer jobs to  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (honest) people in Germany.” What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was  easy to skip buying subway tickets. So in order {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (save) money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (catch) without a ticket in the subway twice

       From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in some ways, but the truth will  come out {#blank#}9{#/blank#}or later and the cost is high. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}remember: honesty is the  best rule. That's all for my speech. Thank you!
