No one knows what our life will be like in the future. Here are some children's 1 .
Cindy: In the future, people will have more2 . They will spend a lot of time traveling around the world. Maybe some families will go to the moon for their vacation. It will be fun and relaxing.
Gary: I think the earth will be more crowded and dirtier. Maybe some people will 3 their houses on other planets. It is possible.
Sarah: Students in the future won't need to go to school and they will 4 at home. What will happen if students have problems with a subject? They can 5 the answers on the Internet. They can also6 their teachers through video calls（视频通话）.
Peter: In the future, people will speak fewer languages. Maybe there will be only one 7 in the world. And it will be much 8 for people to talk with each other.
Laura: Robots will play an important role in our lives. They will help humans do all kinds of work. Also, they can finish the work9 and never get tired.
These predictions may seem 10 today, but I believe they will come true one day because we never know what will happen in the future.

Anna wants to become a top guitarist（吉他演奏家）in the future. She began to play the guitar two years ago when she saw her father play it at home. "I love the guitar, so I always play it at home. When I found she was also interested in it, I began to teach her," said her father. Soon Anna was good at playing it. Then she began to take guitar lessons in Band School every Saturday to learn more from musicians there.
Anna studied hard at Band School, and soon she could take part in (参加) the school's concert. Anna was the youngest player. Most students felt nervous when they took part in the concert for the first time, but Anna didn't. She was very relaxed, and she gave a really fantastic performance (表演).
Many people see her performance online, and Anna is becoming famous in her town now. "Boys usually like playing the guitar, but very few girls choose it. I hope more girls can play it in the future," said Anna. Anna's father bought her a new guitar last month and she plans to start a band herself later this year.
It is necessary to share your feelings with others. Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people around you.
Sometimes if you don't tell anyone that you are feeling sad, worried or upset, it can be really hard. Don't keep feelings to yourselves. If that, it can even make you feel sick!
But if you talk with someone who cares for you, like your mom or dad, you will not be always alone(独自的)with your problems or worries. It doesn't mean your problems and worries go off, but someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it.
If the person doesn't understand what you mean right now, try explaining(解释)it in a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, There are many ways for you to speak out your feelings. If you think you will have trouble saying what's in your mind, write it down on a piece of paper.
Some of you are more private (内向的) than others just like some adults. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he or she has. But it's important to share feelings when a kid needs help.
Your schooldays should be the best time in your life. The following ways may help you.
Don't say things are difficult or boring. Take an interest in school life. Do different activities actively. Put up your hands in class. If you are not working or learning, you are wasting(浪费) your time at school.
Keep healthy. If you don't eat breakfast, you will be hungry in class. If you don't have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. You should play sports every day.
Everyone fails(不通过) some tests, loses some races and has bad days. Don't make small problems very serious. Don't forget to ask for help. You are young, and no one thinks you must do everything quite well!
Spend the weekends meaningfully. Don't waste time lying(躺) in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play sports, learn to play the piano or help someone with problems. You can read a book, practice English or help your mother with the housework.
Follow our ways, and you will have a happy school life!

Hi Irene,
I need your help. My 13-year-old son doesn't seem(have) any good friends. He never (invite) anyone home or goes out with anyone from his new school. When I asked, he just (reply), "It's fine, Mom!" He is on the 8th grade football team, outside school, he doesn't play with any kids.
Jane
Dear Jane,
Getting into middle school is big change (变化) for both teenagers and their parents. This change can be very difficult if the kids are shy. Also remember that some teenagers feel (comfortable) being alone (单独) than with others. If your son seems "fine", don't worry too much.
If you do feel something is (true) wrong, find out the real (problem). For example, do you often argue (争吵) with your husband (丈夫) at home? If so, your son may not want to invite friends over. Young people may care their parents' feelings very much.
It's great he joined the football team. Maybe he (grow) up and make more friends if he is ready.
Hope this helps.
Irene
