Fill in the blanks using the words in the boxes. Then, listen and check.

Dear Lisa, the world has changed a lot in the last 40 years, and I'm sure it will change in many ways.

I'm writing this letter to you to share my predictions about the future.

When we were young adults, there were no mobile phones or computers.

I believe you won't use them in the future either. You will have smart glasses, and you will communicate and connect to the Internet through those glasses.

Your clothes and accessories like your watches will tell you all about your body. They will let you know what is wrong with your body.

In the past, there weren't so many buildings around. There were trees and forests everywhere.

However, we're cutting them down nowadays. I'm afraid you won't breathe without oxygen masks in the future.

There will be common colds and more serious diseases, and if the temperature of the Earth keeps going up at this rate, you won't have any food.

Maybe you will take food pills in the future. You should also be careful about pollution.

I believe you will discover life on other planets. You will go on holiday in outer space, and maybe you will stay there forever.

I don't think you will live in peace there because people won't trust each other. I hope you won't have any wars in the future.

My dear Lisa, a change is as good as a rest when it is for the best. You are a clever girl. You will definitely be very successful in the future, and I believe you will make your life worth living.

Hugs and love. Your grandpa Tommy. Your -
