In the future, life will be much better. Maybe there will be vision phones (可视电话) in every family. People can have a medical examination without a doctor or a nurse in the room. If people want to do some shopping, they do not need to leave their homes. They will go shopping online. And what about education (教育)？There will be more educational programs on TV, even on the Internet.Children don't need go to school every day. They can study at home.

     Each family will have a robot. Robots will help people with their housework.

     Maybe some people will go to the moon for a holiday and some people can live under the sea in hot summer.

    Last week we talked about growing potatoes. Today we will talk about growing another root vegetable, carrots. Carrots are easy to grow and easy to harvest. They taste good. And they contain a lot of carotene (胡萝卜素). When we eat the carrots, our body makes carotene into vitamin A(维生素A).

    When we think of carrots, we usually say carrots are long, thin and orange. But carrots are in many different sizes and shapes. And not all carrots are orange. Sometimes we have green carrots with yellow inside.

    Carrots should be planted in the sand. The soil also should have no rocks.

    This is a small farm. There is a cow in the field. There are some sheep in the field, too. The sheep are eating grass. The cow is standing under the tree. It is a very tall tree.

    Bob is climbing the tree. His brother, Jack, is climbing it, too. Mary is standing near the tree. She is looking at Bob and Jack.

    My name is Lily. My father is a police officer and he can stop bad people. He often goes to work by car. My mother is a secretary and she works in a big company. She usually goes to work by taxi. I am a student and I go to school on foot. I like science. So we are going to visit the science museum on Saturday morning. And then we are going to buy some comic books in the evening. On Sunday, we are going to visit my grandparents. We will have a happy weekend.
