Unit 6 Life in the Future Listening part 1
A:Hello,greetings from the future!
My name is Mekanika,and I live in the year 3044.
Well,that's what you would call it,we call it the year 58 AL.
AL means after leaving.
You see,58 years ago people in the earth
decided that they had to do something to save the people on the planet.
There were so many people on the earth
and there were so much pollution,
that the only way to keep the planet from dying was to send people into space.
My family was one of the chosen ones.
About 1/3 of the earth population was left back home.
And the rest of us went into space.
We're now living in a new city on the planet Mars.
Life here is very nice,and we are happy in our new home.
We still keep in touch with the people on earth,
and some of us go back for short visits.
The earth is better now,
and the people back home are doing their best to clean up the planet.
I was born here on Mars,and I've never been to earth.
My grandparents and parents tell me about the earth
and it sounds like a beautiful place.
When my science teacher told me
that we could use our schools time machine to send messages to the past.
I wanted to send one to you,and tell you about the life here.
Part Two Every morning I have to get up at 2:00.
That probably sounds very strange to you,
but you see,we have a different time system here.
We divide the day into eight parts,
two o'clock in the morning here on Mars
is almost likes six o'clock on the earth.
I eat breakfast with my family before I go to school.
The food here is different from your food.
We eat pills and drink juice to stay healthy.
My history book says that you ate something called "bread",
and even ate meat from other animals,that sounds very strange to me.
We don't eat any animals here,and I've never even seen bread.
At 3:30 I catch the school spaceship,and fly to class.
We don't have schools in class rooms,
we need our learning guides,you called them teachers,
in different placesand solve problems together.
I love school,my friends are wonderful,
and I like to think about the world in new ways.
I also like creating things with my mind box,you called it a computer.
I'm very interest in what you call painting and singing.
Can you please tell me more about what they are?
I've read about your life in my history book,
but it's difficult to understand how you lived such a long time ago?
Could you please write to me and tell me about your life?
Thank you.I have to get back to work,
I have a test in Mars geography next week. So I need to prepare for it.
Best wish. Mekanika.
