I live in Beijing, the capital of China. It's a big city, and there are many big cinemas. I often go to the movies during my summer vacation because there are usually many new films on. My favorite cinema is the one at Joy City. It's big and has comfortable seats.

My hometown is a small village near Changchun, Jilin Province. There is a big river in my village. When I was young, I often swam in it. But now my parents tell me not to do that anymore because the water isn't clean as before. Luckily, there is going to be a gym in my hometown next month. Then I can go swimming in it.

I live in a town near Shanghai. Although my town is small, there are many clothing stores. I usually go shopping with my friends at the weekend. There is a big clothing store near my home. But the clothes in it are very expensive, so I hardly ever buy things there. My favorite clothing store is the one near my school. Its service is the best and the clothes are cool and cheap.
What will our life be like in 50 years? No one knows the answer exactly, but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today. My brother Jill White makes some predictions. Here are some of his ideas.
First, people will have less work to do, and robots will do most work. People will use robots to make cars, do the housework, look after sick people and teach students. People will spend most of their time playing sports and traveling. So people will become stronger and healthier, and they will live to be about 200 years old.
Second, cars will become very small and computers will control their speed. So there will be fewer accidents on the road. Planes will be very popular, and most people would like to take them to travel.
Third, people will be able to live in the sea, on the moon or on Mars. The earth won't be crowded or noisy. So there will be much space for people to plant trees. There will be less pollution, and the air will become much fresher.
Finally, water shortage will become one of the most serious problems. If people don't save water now, there will be water wars(战争)in 50 years.

They gave him a big hug(拥抱).The next day, they went sightseeing(观光).They saw the Golden Gate Bridge. They had lunch at Fisherman's Wharf. At Fisherman's Wharf, they saw the fishing boats come in. The next day, they visited the University of California at Berkeley. Nick teaches music there. Carol and Linda liked the school. They thought that it was very big and very beautiful.
They saw all of San Francisco before they left. Nick took them everywhere! They went back to New Orleans by plane because they didn't have time to go back by train. Nick was sad(伤心的)to see them go and they were sad to leave.
