PREDICTIONS

Professor Smith talked about various predictions about the future.

John: Professor what do you think about the latest climate report?

Professor Smith: In the next twenty-five years the temperature will rise a lot.

John: What will be the consequences of that?

Professor Smith: The ice at the North and South poles will melt and the sea level will rise.

John: Do you think the whole countries will disappear?

Professor Smith: That won’t happen for another hundred years.

John: Will there be enough fresh water for everyone?

Professor Smith: Yes, there will be. But it won’t come from rainfall.

John: Will fresh water cost more?

Professor Smith: Yes, certainly.

John: Will people have to change their lifestyles?

Professor Smith: Yes, they will. Everything will be completely different.

John: Will people go to work by car?

Professor Smith: I don’t think so. I think they will use some different kind of transport. They will maybe use a plane! I am not sure.

John: Will children go to school?

Professor Smith: No, they won’t. They’ll stay at home. They’ll have private teachers. Every child will have a computer and the Internet, of course.

John: Will children have time to play outside the house?

Professor Smith: No, they won’t. They will be very busy studying about Computers, History, Maths…

John: Will there be more buildings?

Professor Smith: Oh, yes. There’ll be many new houses too. Population in cities will rise a lot!

John: Will people go to the cinema?

Professor Smith: No, they won’t. They will have their own private cinemas at home. They won’t leave their houses unnecessarily.

John: That is very sad. I don’t want to live in the future! I won’t have any friends, any free time. I won’t have a life! Do you agree with me professor?

Professor Smith: Yes, I do. But these are only predictions. We won’t see anything of it. Luckily!
