Pollution is a big problem today, but will be a bigger problem in 100 years. So people won’t use cars with petrol. They will drive in electric cars on underground roads. And there will be electric buses with computers for drivers! The best thing? People will be able to travel in time. Now that will be exciting! Rosie c. Hi Josh. Life will be better in 2100-in space!

So the project I signed up for included attending classes about wildlife, and going on daily dives under water to collect important information for the scientists back at the centre.‎ We were w 82 by staff about our accommodation（食宿）before we arrived at the center. Sure enough, when we got there, we were shown to some small wooden huts where we would live. They were quite b___83___: no indoor washroom and no fridge, so our meals were all vegetarian. However, I hadn’t eaten meat for years, so it was perfect for me.‎ The day after our arrival, we started our t___84___-learning the names of all the different fish, and how to count and describe them in a way that would be useful to the scientists. We also learnt about a very important underwater creature called coral. However, this creature is now in danger because of problems such as global warming. So a___85___ we did very little work involving the coral itself, we really felt our work in helping local sea creatures was essential.‎ Every day at the study centre was amazing, but there was one in particular when I was under the water as usual, with my‘diving buddy’，collecting data on the fish in the area. I s___86___ looked up-and found myself face to face with two absolutely beautiful fish. My partner and I decided to spend our last few minutes under the water with these amazing creatures. As we got nearer to the fish, they didn’t seem at all w___87___ about us, and just watched us in an interesting way, before swimming off towards the coral reef. Unforgettable!‎ D. Answer the questions.‎ Interviewer: With me in the studio is Linda Meehan, who’s recently returned from a six-month exchange to do programme with a family in the Netherlands. That’s a long way from home. Why did you choose your exchange programme there?‎ Linda: Well. None of my friends had been there or anything like that but my grandfather spent some time there when he was young and he said I should visit one day and I’d planned to do that as soon as I could. So when I had the opportunity to go to Europe, it seemed like the obvious place to go.‎ Interviewer: But you were only 15. Was there anything you found difficult about living in a foreign country?‎ Linda: Well, the family I stayed with in the Netherlands were really kind and I wasn’t lonely because I shared the room with one of their daughters. She helped me get used to my new routine. The only thing that was hard was the one-kilometre bike ride to school everyday! I enjoyed it in the summer but in winter was terrible.‎ Interviewer: And ___91___?‎ Linda: It was OK because there were a lot of classes in English. And they gave me projects to do when there were subjects in Dutch I couldn’t understand. The school was very modern and much bigger than most schools in Australia. The library was fantastic and they also had a lot more science labs than my school at home.‎ Interviewer: What about the students?‎ Linda: Oh, they were really friendly. They gave me lots of advice about places I should visit. They’d all travelled a lot more than me, though no one had been to Australia. But what I found really strange was that they’d never thought about going away from their families for several months like me. Some of them couldn’t understand how I could do that.‎ Interviewers: So is this an experience you would recommend?‎ Linda: Oh, definitely! I benefit a lot from the programme. And I think six months was the right amount of time.‎ I needed that amount of time to learn the language.
