UNIT 8
It’s likely that
the earth will be
polluted
seriously and
human will need
to find another
planet to live in.
There may be no forest
left in this world.
It’s likely that robots will have
a lot of new functions in the
future, especially for
entertainment.
The temperature will increase
rapidly and it may be the cause
of human’s extinction.
People may have the
ability to build new cities
in other planets.
I think it’s very unlikely
that by the end of the 21st
century Chinese astronauts
will have landed on
Mars, because it is too far
from the earth.
