Living in the future

15/11/3008 (earth time)

Dear Mom and Dad:

I still can't believe I'm accepting this award that I won last year. I have to keep reminding myself that I have really entered 3008. I was always on edge for the first few days because I was worried about this trip. As a result, I have jet lag.

This is similar to jet lag when flying, but the difference is that the past time seems to keep flashing in your mind. Therefore, I felt nervous and uneasy from the beginning.

But my friend and tour guide Wang Ping was very considerate and gave me some green pills, which were really effective. His parents' company is called "Journey to the Future" and is famous for its superb technology.

They put me in a time capsule and sent me safely to the future.

I still remember that we were called to the time capsule by the space attendant, climbed up and entered a small door.

The seats are very comfortable. After drinking some sedatives, we closed our eyes and felt sleepy.

The time capsule swayed gently from side to side, and we lay there relaxing and dreaming. A few minutes later, the journey was over and we arrived.

I am still on the earth, but I have entered the next millennium. What will we see?

At first, the new environment made me unbearable. The air seems very thin, as if there is almost no oxygen in the mixed gas.

I have a headache because of the lack of fresh air. Just as I was trying to adapt to the new environment, Wang Ping appeared.

He told me, "put on this mask. This will make you feel much better. " He handed me the mask and urged me to go into a small room nearby and let me have a rest. I felt much better at once.

Before long, I stood up again and followed him to get a computer-driven hovercraft. These hovercraft are floating on the ground. You can move quickly by bending or pressing the joystick on the seat.

Wang Ping helped me fasten my seat belt and taught me how to use it. Soon, I can fly as fast as Wang Ping. However, when we arrived at a place that looked like a big market, I couldn't see Wang Ping because too many cars were flying in all directions.

He participated in this group of motorcades. It was at this time that I got a "time lag" flashback, so that I saw the area that seemed to be in 2008 AD again. Only then did I know that I was sent to the future, but I was still in my hometown.

At this moment, I saw Wang Ping again, so I flew behind him again.

In a strange-looking house, he took me to a big bright and clean room.

The walls are green, the floor is brown and the lights are soft. Suddenly the wall moved-it was a tree!

Later, I found that it was the leaves of these trees that provided the most urgently needed oxygen for this house.

Then Wang Ping flashed the switch on the computer screen, so a table and some chairs rose from under the floor like magic.

"Why don't you sit down and eat something?" He said, "It may be a little difficult for you to do this kind of time travel for the first time. You can have a good rest. There are no travel plans today. You are going to visit several places tomorrow. "

With these words, he put the food on the table and took out a bed from under the floor. After he left, I had a simple meal and a hot bath. I was so tired that I slipped into bed and fell asleep soon.

Let's talk about it later!

Use language

I saw something wonderful.

The first place I visited was the space station, which is considered to be the most modern place in space. The space station is like a huge disk, which rotates slowly in space to imitate the gravity of the earth's center of gravity.

Some of the most advanced inventions of 3 1 century were exhibited in the space station. A guide showed us around on a moving conveyor belt.

Guide: Good morning, friends who visited in 2008! First of all, we should look at the latest communication methods used by our space residents.

Typists no longer need to work on typewriters or computers! No more postage and zip codes! Now a "thinking instrument" can transmit information.

You put a metal belt on your head, organize your thoughts, press the send button, and concentrate on the message you want to send. The message will be sent out in a moment. This information will be stored in the receiver's "mental instrument".

It is fast, effective and environmentally friendly. The only drawback is that if the user can't think clearly about the information to be transmitted, the information sent may be vague. But we can't blame the instrument for improper use by users, can we?

During the tour guide's explanation, I stared at this little thing called "Thought Instrument" on the table. They look like metal bands. So ordinary, but so magical! While I was still observing, the conveyor belt moved forward.

Lead: Ladies and gentlemen, now we are in the "environmental protection zone". In the past, people used to collect garbage in garbage bins and then send it away, bury it or burn it. Am I right? (We all nod. )

But now we have a device that can use ecological principles to treat waste. A huge machine can swallow all available waste, and it is always insatiable.

Then the garbage is broken down into several useful substances, such as "fertilizer" in crops and "soil" in the desert. Nothing is wasted, everything, even plastic bags, is recycled. Good idea, right?

I watched the slow-moving garbage decomposer model and was attracted by its effectiveness. However, we started to move forward again.

Lead: The third stop will show us some changes in work practice.

Mass production is no longer carried out on earth, but transferred to a space station like this. In space, a group of engineers designed a program for robots to complete their work. Robots produce medicines, clothes, furniture and hovercraft.

No waste, no pollution, no environmental damage. However, these companies must train their representatives to live and work in space. They must monitor the robots and the production process here.

Once the goods are ready, they will be transported to earth by spacecraft.

My mind began to wander. What can I do? When I think of this beautiful future world, I am doubly interested and full of energy.
