Tomorrow's world
This text is going to be a little different. It's about predictions. What is going to happen tomorrow? What will the future bring? Things like that. Optimists and pessimists have their own answers. We are going to know what they are. Then you are going to decide which group (optimists or pessimists) made each prediction. You are also going to give your own opinion about each prediction (whether you consider it possible or impossible to happen).
