Tommy found the real book.
The book was very old. It had old and yellow pages. The words stood still on the pages.
They thought it was strange to read the words from the old book. Tommy thought it was a waste because one would throw it away when finishing reading it.
The book was about school.
Because it was an old kind of school, from hundreds of years ago.
Margie’s classroom was right next to her bedroom. And her teacher was a machine.
She thought the old schools were a lot of fun because the students could study and play together and the teachers were people.
1 How might Margie feel when she saw a “real book”
2 Were the children familiar with “real books” How can you tell
She might feel excited.

Answer the questions.
No, they weren’t familiar with “real books”. They thought it was strange to read the words because they stood still on the pages, instead of moving across a screen.
1. Do you want to go to a school like Margie’s Why or why not
2. What do you think schools will be like in 50 years
Yes and no. I think it would be convenient to study at home. I could spend more time learning difficult subjects. However, I would miss my classmates and teachers.
I think schools will use lots of technology. Students will use both screens and books and they will watch videos to learn. Sometimes, they may study at home and there may be robot teachers to guide them.
To make smart predictions about future schools, you need to consider the development of technology and social changes.
Learning to think for question 2
What will schools be like in the future What kinds of digital technologies might schools use Do you expect the future schools Why or why not

Share your passage with the class.
In general, people's lives will be more digital in 50 years’ time. People will use more digital devices and spend more time using them. Life will be very different.
When people get up, they 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.
