TapescriptTapescriptTapescriptTapescript1. Well, that’s very interesting question.
It is already possible to make
artificial organs and parts of the
body-but it won’t be possible for a
very long time to make artificial
humans, known as androids, that can
think or feel in the same way as we
do.
2. We know that the planet’s climate is
changing. The Earth’s atmosphere is
gradually getting warmer. There is a real
danger that the sea level will go up and
there will be flooding in different countries
in the world. This is already happening in
countries like Bangladesh and some parts
of Europe, for example, Britain.
3. Well, it may sound surprising.
Imagine the situation of two twins-a
brother and sister. The sister goes
into space and travels at the speed
of light for ten years-when she
comes back to Earth she is thirty
years older than her twin brother!
4. Unfortunately, this is a very real
danger for the planet. A new
virus could develop that we have
no power to stop. It is something
we really should be worried
about.
Have you read some science
fiction?
Try to write a short summarize
about it. Did you like or dislike it?
