Hello everyone:
My speech topic is “My Dream Life in 20 Years”. My life in 20 years will be easy. I think I will be an engineer and work at home. I will live in the countryside, because the environment there is clean and beautiful. Then I will live with my parents, and maybe I will have a child of my own. We will have our own farm. And we will plant different kinds of fruits. In my free time, I will have a trip to other planets with my family or friends. And I will look for renewable resources on other planets. What’s more, I will have a new friend—a robot. She will clean the house for me and cook me my favorite food.
I think my life in 20 years will be more comfortable than it is now. Thank you!
