Margie's classroom was right next to her bedroom. Her teacher was a machine. It was on and waiting for her. The screen was lit up. The machine said: "Today's lesson is on maths. Please put yesterday's homework in the opening."

About the real book
· Who found the real book
· What was the book like
Suggested answer：Tommy found the real book.
Suggested answer：It was very old, with yellow pages, and the words stood still instead of moving like on a screen.
Complete the table.

About the real book
· What did Margie and Tommy think of the book
· What was the book about
Suggested answer：Thought it was a waste because you throw it away after reading, unlike their digital books.
Suggested answer：It was about school—an old kind of school from centuries ago.
Complete the table.

About the school
· Why did the writer of the book write about school
Suggested answer：Because it described an old-fashioned school system from long ago, which was different from Margie and Tommy’s time.
Complete the table.

About the school
· What was Margie's school like
Suggested answer：Her school was at home, with a mechanical teacher on a screen. She had to submit homework through an opening, and lessons were automated.

About the school
· What were Margie's thoughts about the old schools
Suggested answer：She imagined them as fun places where kids learned together, played, and had human teachers. She thought students in the past must have loved school.
1 Why was Margie excited that Tommy found a "real book"
4
Answer the questions.
Suggested answer：
Margie was excited because a "real book" was a rare and strange object in her time. She had never seen one before—books in her world were digital, with moving words on screens. The idea of words staying still on paper fascinated her.
2 Were the children familiar with “real books" How can you tell
4
Answer the questions.
Suggested answer：
No, they were not familiar with real books. Tommy thought they were a waste because you had to throw them away after reading, unlike their digital books. Margie also found the concept of a physical book unusual.
Think and share
1 Do you want to go to a school like Margie's why or why not
Suggested answer：
No, I wouldn’t want to go to a school like Margie’s. While having a mechanical teacher at home might seem convenient, it would be lonely and boring. Margie’s school lacks real human interaction—no friends to laugh with, no group projects, and no teachers who
Think and share
1 Do you want to go to a school like Margie's why or why not
Suggested answer：
understand emotions. Learning from a machine all day would feel cold and impersonal. Plus, sitting alone in a room with just a screen sounds isolating, unlike the fun, social experience of a traditional school.
Think and share
2 What do you think schools will be like in 50 years
Suggested answer：
In 50 years, schools will likely be a mix of advanced technology and human interaction. Here’s what I imagine:
Virtual & Augmented Reality (VR/AR): Students might "travel" to historical events or explore science concepts in 3D instead of just reading about them.
Think and share
2 What do you think schools will be like in 50 years
Suggested answer：
AI Teachers & Personalized Learning: Computers could adapt lessons to each student’s pace, but real teachers would still guide discussions and creativity.
Global Classrooms: Kids might collaborate on projects with students worldwide via holograms or instant translation tools.
Think and share
2 What do you think schools will be like in 50 years
Suggested answer：
Less Memorization, More Skills: Schools might focus less on facts (since AI can provide those instantly) and more on problem-solving, teamwork, and emotional intelligence.
However, I hope schools keep the best parts of traditional learning—friends, playtime, and inspiring teachers—while using tech to make learning more exciting.
Think and share
Learning to think for question 2
To make smart predictions about future schools，you need to consider the development of technology and social changes.

People's digital life in 50 years' time
In general, life will become far more digital in 50 years. Technology will blend seamlessly into daily routines, making the physical and virtual worlds almost indistinguishable.
Homes will be fully automated, with AI managing everything from meals to health checks. Education will rely on holographic teachers and VR classrooms, while work will happen in immersive virtual offices. Social interactions may shift to lifelike avatars in digital spaces, reducing
Sample
face-to-face contact. Even leisure activities—like travel or concerts—could be experienced through hyper-realistic simulations.
While this digital future offers convenience and limitless possibilities, it also brings risks. Over-reliance on technology might weaken human connections and creativity. Striking a balance will be key—embracing progress without losing what makes us truly human. Ultimately, whether this change is good or bad depends on how wisely we use it.
