Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what will he world be like in the future?

3-D food will be both delicious and nutritious. We can use 3-D printers（打印机）to print some basic materials. And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchen and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.

5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth（带宽）and we can get unlimited（无限的）information.

Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the sea water can be used to provide power for the homes.

Space tour is a piece of cake. For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecrafts will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure. And even we will get used to living there.

A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong.

In a word, just as Jules Verne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other men can make it real.”

Duan Jiayang, a 12-year-old student of a primary school in Fujian, learns the skills to take care of vegetable fields.

“I learned how to place the mulch film（地膜）, ” he says. “It’s not easy.”

In China, many parents pay much attention to their children’s good marks, but vocational（职业的）skills have little been cared.

“Some parents do everything for their children”, says Yan Mei, an official in the primary school, adding that many students are short of the basic skills needed in their everyday lives. “For example,”Yan says. “Some parents would do the school’s general cleaning instead of their children.”

Since March, 2020, the governments have launched（推行）a lot of policies, requiring that colleges, middle schools and primary schools pay more attention to teaching students practical skills.

Following these policies, the primary school launched an “agricultural （农业的）class base” on one of its school yards. Students plant fruit and vegetables on an area of land about 4,000 m in size.

“In the days coming up to the May Day holiday, students of various grades at the school worked together in the fields,” says school principal Yang Bo. “They planted watermelons, carrots and corns. May Day, also known as Labor Day, is celebrated on May 1st in China.”

The school hopes that students will understand the food is quite precious（珍贵的）so that they will better realize the difficulties that their parents went through.

51．例文

Nowadays, the government encourages students to take part in more labour activities.

We can benefit a lot from labor. First, we can learn lots of life skills and look after ourselves well. Besides, we can develop a sense of pride and responsibility. Last but not least, we can build up our bodies so that we will be stronger and healthier.

As for school labor education, I think the school can offer some classes to teach us how to grow plants. Or the school can set up some competitions on cooking or repairing things.

Labor is an important part of life and it’s our duty to share some labour work. As teenagers, we should take action and do more labour activities.
