A

Dear Sarah in 2018，

This is a letter from the year 2068.I want to talk about life in 2068.

Life seems to go easy in 2068.Robots do most things for people，such as working，cooking and cleaning.Toys teach and play with children.Parents spend most of their time dreaming.

However，that's not everything.The weather changes very fast.Sometimes，when you go outside on the street，it is raining hard，and then it stops the next minute.People easily get different diseases(疾病) in 2068.We can't breathe(呼吸)fresh air on the street because of air pollution.Forests die because the water gets polluted.Animals die because they lose their home，food and water.Everyone has to pay to see real plants and animals in museums.

How does the world become like this？Well，technologies have developed too fast in the past 50 years.Some were bad for the earth and people.This is really a good lesson for people in your time.What are we going to do with the money and technologies if we don't have our home？Please slow down and take time to think about technologies.

Yours truly，

Sarah in 2068
