Read how four students see our planet in 10 years. Who do you agree with?
Martin: I'm really optimistic about the future. Just think about the progress in different areas. Medicine and electronic technology, space discoveries, for example. One day, I'm sure, there will be cures for AIDS and cancer (лекарства против СПИДа и рака).

Isabel: I am afraid of the future. Everything is changing so quickly. Bombs, pollution, dangerous technologies, new serious diseases ... and who’s responsible for it all? Just think of Chernobyl. They say that 20,000 people will die of cancer in the next 20 or 30 years because of this accident. I think the next century could be a really dangerous time.

Phil: I don’t care about the future. What’s the point of thinking about it? I’m young. I just want to go out with my friends, play football and have a good time. I can’t change much in this world until I grow up.

Henry: In ten years? I’m looking forward to it. I think it’s going to be the age of communication. Computer science has developed so fast. Scientists and computers are going to control everything. Let’s wait and see.
