Thanks, Everyone

Hello, Everyone!

First of all, thank you for bringing such DELICIOUS food for Alberto's goodbye party. Luiz and Yul-Ri, you really missed out. Larissa, please post your recipe for Graham Wafer Cream Cake, or whatever its real name is--all the teachers want to copy it! Christian, thank you for bringing Larissa. Saki, great fried rice. Roberta, lovely Italian rice salad. Thanks to Ji-Soo and his aunt for the phenomenal kim-bap. Julia, your duk-gook-gi was greatly appreciated. Excellent rice krispie cake, Tony! Eun-Hye, your pancakes were impeccable. I think Septi's somai(How do you spell it?) were a big hit. And we always need chips at a party, so thank you, Laura, for bringing them. By the way, they are on the window sill, but I put the dip and salsa in the refridgerator in the kitchen.

As for your homework:

1. Please remember to read part 3 of 'Jane Eyre'. It's the juiciest part of the book.

2. Study Chapters 9 and 10 of your grammar book. Which modal verbs are troublesome for you?

3. And of course, your blog. Here is your blogging topic:

Think of the future. 20 years from now, what do you think
will have happened?
will have been happening?
will be happening?
You can make predictions about your own life,your country, governments, means of transportation, technology,or any other subject that strikes your fancy.

Have a good weekend, and I'll check the blog around 9 p.m. on Sunday.

Cheers,

Carol

20 years from now. I will be 45 years old. I will already have married. I will have finded a good salary's job. Maybe I will have 2 or 3 child. And in my home town we will already have had subway.

20 years from now, I hope no war around the world and especially between Taiwan and China. I hope China don't fight to Taiwan. So, I 20 years or more from now Taiwan still is Taiwan. China cna peaceful coexistence with Taiwan.

20 years from now Taiwaness politics will be more uncomplicated and high technologe will have been making new medication to help people out from AIDS.

If we have the world war 3 that will be high technologe war. And someone will have been inventing the cars can fly in the air by the time 20 years from now. Also the air plane will be bigger then now.

The Future of My Life

I'm a 25-years-old lady, and I will be 45-years-old after 20 years.

20 years from now, of course, I will have graduated from university in Korea and maybe I will have gotten a master's degree in my specific field.( because my major is in a wide range of electricity and electronic engineering, so I want to choose a specialized field.)
Also, working is one of the most important thing of my life I think, thus, I will have been working for a company day and night. I suppose that I will have been hooked on my job in 20 years.

If I meet a spouse with a soul mate who must be my soul mate, I will have been married him and I will have one child, but if i don't, I will be living with my parents until they pass away.

Although nothing is special and particular in my future life , this ordinary life is all I hope from the bottom of my heart. Therefore, the rest of my life will be filled with simple beauty.

Hopefully, the world 20 years from now will be more peaceful. By this time the armed conflict with some arabic countries will have finished. Moreover, the countries will already have been developing their infrastructure for several years. However, I don't really believe it. But rather, in 20 years from now there will be existing some stubborn politican like today as well.
20 years from now I will have been retairing for a few years. I will have finished my work and I will have spoken not only English but also Spanish. At this time my children will have been having their own families for a couple of years so that my husband and I can travel around the world and attend our hobbies. Surely, we will also take care of our grandchildren sometimes. During the time they play at our house I will be playing piano.
I don't think that a lot of things will have changed in my country. Indeed, many things will have modified in technology and especially in medicine. The struggle with some infectious desease will have finished. When the patient need new heart vessels, he will just get an injection and the veins will be growing. We will be able to cure more kinds of cancer.
Well, I'm done with the future prediction and will proceed to the lovely thing like how to bace a sweet honey cake.

You need:
Honey Graham Wafers (Superstore)
500 ml whipped cream
1 can sweetend condense milk

Beat the whipped creame and add carefully sweetend condense milk. Mix them well. Put the honey wafers on the baking sheet one by one. Spread the creame on the wafers and put another layer wafers. Spread the creame again. Do so many layer you like. (I have three). Crash one or two wafers and sprinkle them on top of cake. That's it. Good luck.
Tip: make the cake one day before, it will be softer.

I'm 21 years old.
20 years from now, I will be 41 years old.
I will been enjoying my life.
I will have already got married and I will have had 2 children.
I will have been working and maybe I will have had a hair shop in Canada.
(because My major is beauty design, I studied about beauty...)
My sister will been working with me.

All my friends will have retired.
They will be unhappy and stressful to take care of their families.
(Because if they get married or have a baby between working in a company, they will be retired by a company. Most Korean Women do that.)
And they also will have had children.

20 years from now,Canada's technologies and sevices will improve more and more. Many countries people will immigrate to Canada more. Because Canada will be a great country in the world(because Canada has a lot of natural resources.)
Canadian will be faster!!!!:)

20 years from now, I really hope
South Korea unite with North Korea.
If Korea unite, Korean economy will lower. But they will been trying to find how to grow Korean economy. Many people will been learning how to communicate each other(South Korean and North Korean).

20 years from now I will be protecting with the environment. The environment is very important to human society. We can't life without environment, so that way we must protec, it is not easy but if we are work together, must be possible. And the young generationt will be taking care the jungel and ecosistem. because if thet don't care, may be will geting worse or it wiil become global warming.
We already know global warming and the consequent.The lates scientific data confirm that the earth climat is rapidly changing. Global warming temperature increased by about 1 degree fahrenhit over the course of the last century and will likely rise even more rapidly in coming decades The cause? A thickening layer of carbon dioxide pollution and other gren house, mostly from power plants and automobils, wich traps heat in the atmospire. The intergovermental penelon climat change(IPCC), a group of the world's leading climat researchers, see a greater than 90 percent likehood that most warming over the last 50 years because of human caused emission of heat treapping green house gasses. Scientist say that the eart could warm by an additional 7.2 degrees fahrenhit during the 21st century if we fail to redusce emmision from burning fissil fuels, such as cool and oil. this rise in average temperature will have far-reacing effects. Sea levels will rise, flooding coastal aeas. Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense.
In politic India will be important country after 20 years from now becuse if India's recent growth rete were to sustain over nex 20 years, its GDP would rise to $10 trillion in 20 years, from $905 billion in 2006-07. If the us were to sustain its current 3% per year growt, its GDP would rise to &24 trillion in 20 years, from & 13,2 trillion in 2006. They want to investationt to India because talented is proffessional and likely to become ubiquitouse of the global scence in two deccides.
In technology the computer will be change very fast or the machine taht change the world. Twenty years ago today Appel computr inc it very familliar and most people use that prodact. Twenty years later IBM pc dominated the personal computer market especially in businesses.
In Transportation china is already competitiont with super power country such as America, Canada, England etc. China will be produce Maglev(magnetic levitation(trai, the worl's faster, most futuristic passager line, smiles abound inside the sleek train as, with a brethaking whoosh, it rocket to 300 killo meters per hours in two minutes fla. Over head, like a giant scoreboard, an LED blinks oute our record breaking progresss till we top 430kph.

I am 23 years-old. so I will be 43 years-old after 20 years.

I will have worked in Korea when I come back to Canada. I will be working in Winnipeg eventually, and I will be marrying my boyfriend (:P) I might be having my children. I hope they are nice guys. I will be

My county will have been in unification of North and South Korea. It will be good for my country. So Korea will have been become a powerful country.

I think the technology will be improving. so I don't need to do housework. I will use many machines and robot for housework.

Now I'll talk about Winnipeg. The global warming is getting strong. so after 20 years Winnipeg will be warmer than now. It will be good for people who live here. They will have gone out in winter time.

20 years from now,... wow...!
Most of you will be at my current age then. I will be 64 years old, and I hope I will have been enjoying my retirement and spent a lot of time with Larissa and our grandchildren. In case my doughters put a spoke in my wheel, I will have discovered another activity.
Some of my friends are looking forward to this age because they are unhappy about their job and the daily pressure of work. I'm very grateful that I found a job which I have been enjoying 19 years.
I can very well imagine that, after I'm 64 years old, I will still like my job, and I will have been working not for customers but for my own small projects.
Outside of my private life, I hope our world will be more peaceful than today, and that more people will have been participating in economic vitality.
Furthermore, I hope more people will have understood, that a healthy environment and carefully
dealing with basic resources are more important than a short-term profit. We have only one earth to burn and it belongs to the future generations!

I wiil be 43 years old in 20 years and I think I am going to live in Indonesia, especially in the small province and I want to help people who don't have enough money to go to school, and I should teach them things such as English language, and how they take care of the environment etc. I want to live in Sumatra or Bali, because there are so many natural resources such as oil, gas, the jungel etc. I like to explore the jungel because I love nature and margasatwa. Animals are important too because of them the jungel still lives and the nature is balanced and I want to protect the environment, like become a member in environment activities. I think we must take care of the environment because it is very important to human society and we can't live without the environment, so that way we must protect. I know it is not easy but if we work together, it must be posibble, and the young generation will be taking care of the jungel and ecosystem, because if they don't care the environment will get worse or global warming will get worse.
After 20 years I hope Indonesia will get out from economic crisis, and more investors will come to Indonesia. In the world I think Asia will be growing faster and they can compete with super power countries such as America, Canada, England etc. India will be important country 20 years from now because their people are proffesional and likely to become ubiquitouse in global scene in two decades.
