Second Term Written Test.
Read the text and then do the exercises
By the year 2100 life on Earth might change a lot. Our towns might grow enormously. Small towns and villages might disappear completely. We might live in cities built on the sea .Perhaps our supplies of oil will run out. Scientist may possibly develop new forms of energy. They will find new ways of growing food. At least let’s hope so.
I can’t believe that our grand-children will still eat as much natural food as we do. Robots might cook their meals for them. They may well speak the same language. They will probably spend less time at work because machines will do a lot of jobs man does today They will surely travel faster but I don’t know if they’ll enjoy themselves or not .
