What will happen in the future? I like this essay topic because I always think about what will happen in the future. Sometimes I ask myself, “What will happen in the future at my school, in my city and in the world?” There will be a lot of changes at my school. First my school will be bigger. It will be a seven-story building. Students will use an elevator. Also, robots will help students and teachers. Students will use smart boards in their classes. They will take online tests. Everyone will drive electric cars. They won’t use petrol. So petrol stations will disappear. Every home will have at least one robot. Robots will do housework and serve meals to people. Planes will fly for just one or two hours to travel very long distances. Rockets will carry people into space. People will pay for the journey, but tickets will not be very expensive. People in the rocket will see the Earth from above.
