Jim Green is a middle school student in New York City. This weekend he plans to study for an exam. But he doesn't want to study. He just wants to have fun. On Saturday afternoon, he goes to see a movie. On Sunday, his friend calls him, and they have a party at his friend Daming's home. Jim really enjoys himself.

    At last, on Sunday night, Jim studies for the exam. He studies from six in the evening to two in the morning. On Monday morning, Jim goes to school and takes the exam. He is very tired and now he is sad. Because he didn't study during the weekend.

    It was Christmas morning. Lynn got up at 7：00. She saw a gift on her bed. It was a box. It had her name on it. She opened it quickly. There were some toys in it. She thought Santa brought her the toys. She was very happy.

    Lingling likes English very much. She works hard. She reads English every morning. She likes speaking English. She often listens to the radio. She watches TV only on Sunday evening. She likes dancing. But she doesn't like drawing. Her parents like her very much. All the teachers and her friends like her, too.

The future

    In the future, everything will be different. I think the future will be fun.

    Cars will fly. We won't drive on the roads. There won't be traffic-jams. Children will fly to school in a flying school bus. Or they will fly to school on a flying bicycle.

    Work will be different. People will have more leisure time. They will only work three days a week. The weekend will be four days long. Lots of people will work online from home. Everyone will go on vacation five times a year.

    Food well be different. We won't eat the same things we eat today. We won't buy food at the supermarket. We will buy our food online. A truck will deliver food to our houses.

    Lots of people won't cook. They will eat at a restaurant every day.

    Yes, thing will be different in the future!
