Digital life
in 50 years’ time
In general, people’s lives will be more digital in 50 years' time because people will use more digital devices and spend more time using them.
I believe that life will be very different. For example, people will start using smartphones to control everything at home. They will be able to work and study from home with screens and machines. People will get information from videos and VR glasses. Every home will have a robot to do difficult work.
These changes will mostly be good for people. Life will be easier and more convenient. People will save time and money by using technology. However, I think digital lifestyles will make people feel lonelier and less healthy. It will be harder to meet people and exercise.

形式主语的用法
1
在英语中，当主语部分过长（如不定式、动名词或从句）时，为避免句子 “头重脚轻”，会用 it 代替真实主语占据句首位置，这个起占位作用的 it 就是 “形式主语”。形式主语本身无实际意义，核心功能是平衡句子结构、提升可读性。
基本结构：It + 谓语 / 系动词 + （表语 / 宾语） + 真实主语
真实主语通常是三类结构：不定式（to do）、动名词（doing）、主语从句（that/whether/wh- 从句）。
例1：It is important for us to learn English. = To learn English is important for us.
例2：It is no use crying over spilt milk. = Crying over spilt milk is no use.
例3：It is a pity that you missed the meeting.
= That you missed the meeting is a pity.
感叹句的用法
2
感叹句是用来表达强烈情感（如喜悦、惊讶、愤怒、赞美等）的句子，句末通常用感叹号 "!"。英语中感叹句主要有两种基本结构，分别由what和how引导。
what修饰的是名词，基本结构为：What + (a/an) + 形容词 + 名词 + 主语 + 谓语！
例1：What a beautiful flower it is! 多美的一朵花啊！
例2：What clever children they are! 多聪明的孩子们啊！
例3：What fine weather it is today! 今天天气多好啊！
how修饰的是形容词、副词或动词，基本结构为：How + 形容词 / 副词 + 主语 + 谓语！
例1：How beautiful the flower is! 多美的一朵花啊！
例2：How clever the children are! 多聪明的孩子们啊！
例3：How fine the weather is today! 今天天气多好啊！
think about
3
【释义】思考、考虑、回想
【用法及例句】
(1) 后接名词、代词、动名词或从句，指对某事进行深入思考。
例：He is thinking about his future career. 他正在考虑自己未来的职业。
(2) 指在脑海中重现或回忆某件事。
例：She was thinking about the good times they had together.
她在回想他们一起度过的美好时光。
【短语辨析】
(1) think of 想到、想起；考虑；认为（更侧重 "想起" 的瞬间动作）
(2) think over 仔细考虑、深思熟虑（强调思考的深度和完整性，通常需要一段时间）
