[00:08.02]Exercise 1.2

[00:11.33]Shopping in the future.

[00:13.77]I think this will change in some ways .

[00:16.89]People will buy basic things

[00:19.41]--I mean things for everyday life

[00:21.94]--on the Internet.

[00:23.61]But for buying something special like a gift

[00:27.10]or some new clothes

[00:29.02]people will still go to stores.

[00:32.72]Pastime in the future.

[00:34.98]There will be changes here.

[00:37.28]People won't buy CDs and DVDs anymore.

[00:41.01]There will download music and movies

[00:42.98]onto their own computers from the internet.

[00:46.06]However,some things will stay the same.

[00:49.68]For example.

[00:50.98]people will still go to the theater

[00:53.16]to watch a play or to see a concert.

[00:55.66]That won't change.

[00:57.59]Travel in the future.

[01:00.71]We will see changes in travel.

[01:03.38]People will still travel

[01:04.62]to popular holiday places

[01:06.24]such as beaches or the mountains ,

[01:09.32]but they will also take vacations

[01:11.14]on other planets.

[01:14.76]Reading in the future.

[01:16.97]I think we will see some changes here.

[01:20.03]We will read some things-- especially for work

[01:23.36]or for study-- on a computer.

[01:26.09]But when we want to enjoy a good story.

[01:28.73]we will still read a traditional book.

[01:54.31]Thank you.

[01:55.80]So,

[01:56.23]let's talk about your predictions for the future

[01:59.19]let's start with shopping.

[02:01.26]Many people now buy things using the internet.

[02:04.52]Will more people do this in the future?

[02:07.65]Yes,they will .

[02:09.21]People will like to buy things

[02:10.90]using the Internet.

[02:12.49]It's very easy.

[02:13.91]Will we still buy things from stores?

[02:16.84]Yes,we will ,

[02:17.87]especially small things that we need every day

[02:20.72]such as milk or bread.

[02:23.75]Will traditional money disapear?

[02:26.27]No,it won't .

[02:27.45]We will still have traditional money as well

[02:29.60]as credit cards.

[02:31.46]Will there still be banks in the future?

[02:34.39]Yes,there will .

[02:35.89]But we won't visit banks very often

[02:37.52]because we can do everything using the Internet

[02:40.42]In fact,many people have already done this.

[02:43.99]Let's talk about education.

[02:46.21]In the future,will children still go to school

[02:49.56]Yes,they will.

[02:51.56]It is improtant for children

[02:52.82]to learn with other children.

[02:55.12]Will students still use textbooks?

[02:58.21]Yes,They will,

[02:59.48]but they will also use computers a lot.

[03:07.53]but it will change.

[03:09.40]How will it change?

[03:11.63]Students won't write their homework on paper

[03:13.87]and hand it to their teacher.

[03:15.64]They will write it on a computer

[03:16.72]and send it to their teacher by e-mail.
