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!
