     Life used to be fun for teenagers in Britain. They used to have money to spend, and free time to relax.
They used to wear teenage clothes, and meet in teenage coffee bars and discos (迪斯科舞厅). So some of
them still do. But for many young people, life is harder now. Jobs are difficult to find. There is not so much
money around. Food and clothes are more expensive, and it is hard to find a place to live in. Teachers say
that students work harder than they used to.
     Most young people worry more about money than their parents did 20 years ago. They try to spend less
and save more. They want to get homes of their own one day.
     For some, the result of unemployment (失业) is to leave home and look for jobs in one of the Britain's big
cities. Every day hundreds of young people arrive in London from other parts of Britain, looking for jobs,
only a few find and stay. Most of them don't find jobs, and go home again.

     Life is not easy, so I'd like to say "When anything happens, believe in yourself." When I was a young
boy, I was so shy that I dare not talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad but could
do nothing. Later, something happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My English
teacher asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and
students of my school!
     "Come on, boy, believe in yourself. You are sure to win." Then my teacher and I talked about many
different topics. At last I chose the topic "Believe in yourself." I tried my best to remember all the speech
and practiced it over 100 times. With my teacher's great love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe
my ears when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students.
Those classmates who once looked down on me, now all said"Congratulations!" to me. My teacher hugged
(拥抱) me and cried excitedly.
     Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will
find myself. This is true not only for a person but also for a country.

      Life in the 21st century, will be different from life in the 20th century,  because many changes 
will take place in the new century.  But what will the changes be?        
      The population is growing fast. There will be more and more people in the world and most of them
 will live longer than before. Computers will be much smaller and more useful,  and there will be at least
 one in  every home.  And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects in schools.        
      People will work fewer hours than they did in the 20th century,  and they will have more free time

no one will eat it every day.  Instead, they eat more vegetables and fruit.  Maybe people will be 
healthier.      
     Work in the future will be different,  too.  Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots  
(机器人).  Because of this,  many people will not have enough work to do.  This will be a new 
problem. .
