field trips to the moon weekly.we will have found cures(疗法) for aids and cancer.the war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land.kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before！history will be the main subject at school.cafeteria(自助餐厅) food will be delicious！you just walk up to a machine,stick out your tongue,and it will scan your taste buds(味蕾) to see what you want to eat.kristenhere i am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy.i work in a pet store and it is so hard！i have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my car to the store.it takes so long to get there.it takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in mississippi from my home in florida！at work,i have to push 5 buttons and then i go home.it takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.morganin the year 2500,i think we will have invented cars that run on things we dont need like garbage.tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate.i also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension(维) so your car wont hit them.the cars in 2 500 dont fly,for we havent got that technology yet,but they can hover(盘旋) up to seven feet.these cars are made for speed!carlyinstead of cars,we may have hovering devices that float around.we could also have electric cars instead of gaspowered cars.food might be more healthy.what i believe is that the environment will change the most.the environmental changes will also determine many other changes.if more people try to help the environment,then perhaps in 2 500 we will have more forests and wildlife.if people wont help the environment,then we will have no forests and little wildlife left.roberta1.according to kristen,what will happen in 2500?a.english will be the main subject at school.b.students can go to
