Ken and Jim are talking about the year 2055. "What's the world going to be like in the year 2055?" asks Ken. "No one knows what will happen, but it is interesting to guess." "I think, everyone is going to carry a pocket computer. The computer is going to give people the answers of all the problems. We are going to have telephones in our pockets, too. Perhaps we are going to talk to our friends all over the world. We are going to live and work under the sea or in space. People will build buildings, factories, schools and farms there, too." "Machines are going to do most of the work, and so people are going to have more holidays. They are going to fly to the moon by spaceship and have their holidays there."

My name is Fangfang. I’m nine. Look! This is my new schoolbag. It’s big and heavy. I have a Chinese book, two maths books, an English book, five storybooks and a blue pencil box in it. My schoolbag is black and white. How nice it is! I like it very much.

I have a good friend. His name is Johnson. He went to China last month. But I met him yesterday. He looked happy. He was back home last week. He had a good time in China. He bought a Chinese kite for me. I said "Thank you." to him. Then I asked him a question.

"Did you have any problems in talking with Chinese?"

"No," he said. "I can't speak Chinese well, but many Chinese can speak English well. "
