At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars.Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted.Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars.

First of all, transport should be much better.At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars—it takes months.However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light.It might take us two or three days to get to Mars! Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live.Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars.These plants will produce the food and air that we need.However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars.Mars suck(吸力) us much less than the Earth does.This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space.To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.

Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways.People will have more space.Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible.Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.

There will probably be no school on Mars.Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the internet.They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools.Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.

However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today.Food will not be the same—meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today.Also, space travel will make many people feel ill.The spaceship will travel fast, so the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.

A life coach is somebody who helps you reach all kinds of personal and professional goals (目标) .Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach.Here are some tips for you:

Pay attention to your relationships with others

Ask yourself the following questions: How do you deal with disagreements? When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them? Your relationships with friends, family members and teachers show a lot about the kind of person you are.

Face the fears about the future

Now, imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. We often give better advice than we are willing to take ourselves.Remember that even the most successful people were probably told that what they wanted to do was impossible, but they followed their dreams and succeed.

Develop your talents

If you want to reach your goals, you will have to spend more time developing the talents you already have, and uncovering any hidden talents that you haven’t discovered yet.So you can take classes in subjects that you are interested in, even if you have no experience.

Be thankful

Take some time to be thankful for the things you do have.Remember positive memories.84 Think of the best day(s) you have had in the past month or year.Remember special parties, vacations and holidays.Appreciate the wonderful people you have in your life.
