Life in 2050
谭晓晓－Class 94
What will life be like in
the year 2050? No one knows,
but of course it will be very
different from it today. Here are
some predictions:
Firstly, people will work
fewer hours and robots will do
the hard and dangerous work in
the place of humans. So humans
will have more free time for
sports and traveling.
Secondly, cars will be
faster and computers will
control the speed instead of a
human driver. So there won’t be
any accidents.
Thirdly, people themselves will have become one of the most serious
problems. We need to act now if we want to prevent wars.

Best Friends Forever
Cathyliy-Class 169
Linda and Lucy were best friends. They graduated from high school and went to the
same college to pursue further studies.
After several days, Linda found that her friend was behaving very strangely. She
would remain quiet, sleep too much, and turn wild very often. At first, Linda thought it was
just because of problems she had met in her studies. However, Lucy became even stranger
over time. Finally, Linda couldn’t take it any longer and asked Lucy about her strange
behavior. Lucy broke into tears and said that she was going around with a boy who was
taking drugs and forcing her to take them too.
Linda was shocked by her story. She then advised her friend to leave the boy. She
reminded Lucy of her dreams of becoming a successful doctor and encouraged her to set an
example for others. She also reminded her of how her parents would feel if they found out
what their daughter was up to. Through her efforts, Lucy was finally able to leave the boy
and drugs behind. During this time, her friend always stood by her.
