I think, in the future, we will have a lot of interesting things in life. As for schools, they will be new and modern, with beautiful gardens around. There will be up-to-date computers and lab equipment in every school. I hope that we won't have to go to school every day because we will have virtual classrooms.
You will never miss lessons or lose school days because of your illness or bad weather. You will be able to get access to a virtual room where you could study online with a laptop, mobile phone, or a computer. Virtual classrooms will be really useful for students who will be unable to attend offline lessons. We will organise an online journey to different countries every month with our teacher using special computer programs and platforms. I hope that our life will become better and amazing thanks to new technologies.

In the future, people will be busy with their work and studying more than now. We won't have time for our housework. That's why I am sure that we will have different robots at home and even at work. As for our housework, they will clean our flat or house, cook tasty dishes that we will order, wash the dishes, water the flowers, mop the floor, and work in the garden. They will be fast, organised, and friendly to people.
As for work and studying, we will see modern robots there soon. I think we will have intelligent machines instead of ordinary workers. Some robots will replace teachers at school. Of course, there will be a special place for teachers, but intelligent robots will offer a more individual experience for students. I am sure using robots won't be cheap, but it will create more opportunities for grown-ups and students. They will get the necessary skills and knowledge. Besides, they won't spend a lot of time on doing housework or working in the garden. So, they will spend more free time together.
