A Day in Your Future Life

People used to know more or less how their children would live. Now things are always changing and we don’t even know what our own lives will be like in a few years. Let’s see what scientists tell us about the future.

1．You go to the kitchen when you get home. The foods are prepared and sent to you. You ordered them by computer an hour ago. You said for them through bank cards before they arrived. Nobody uses cash（现金） any more.

All children in the United States have to receive an education, but it doesn’t mean they must get an education in a school. Now lost of parents wouldn’t like to send their children to school. Children who are taught at home are called “homeschoolers”, It is said that there are about 1.5 to 1.9 million homeschoolers in the United States, about 4% of school-age children.

Some parents would like to teach their children at home because they do not believe that schools can teach the correct values（价值观）. Others believe they can provide a better education for their children at home.

Now there are many websites about home education. Many parents teach their children at home and use the Internet to exchange（交流） ideas. It is interesting that homeschoolers often do better in reading and math than those at school.

It seems that getting home education is often more interesting than going to a traditional school. But in fact, most parents don’t have time or wouldn’t like to teach their children at home. So most children still get their education at school.

I remembered on the first day out science teacher told us the sun was like a big fire ball. We were quite surprised and kept our mouths open. We began to wonder at the secret of nature. Later many other things came to our ears. We began to learn carefully.

When I was ten years old, I began to read newspapers, keep a diary, visit museums and make many friends. Every day was something new, interesting and exciting.

Now I am in the middle school. Each day is new to me. Happily, I am still learning. It is like a journey to me. I have learned a lot, but there’s still a long way for me to go. I hope to become a learned（有学问的） person some day.
