WRITING TOEFL / BACCALAUREATE ESSAYS

The 21st century has begun. What changes do you think this new century will bring? Use examples and details in your answer.

Man, through the ages, has undergone many changes from the time when he depicted a herd of mammoths on the walls of his cave to these days when he can create beautiful pictures and even make coffee by using computer technologies without leaving his favourite chair. The 20th century made huge steps in developing computer technologies and reached many goals that made our life much easier. What should we expect in the 21st century?

First of all, I think that the pace of our life will speed up: we will move faster from one place to another, from one continent to another using high speed jet airplanes. Second , I believe that we will be able to do many things that take much time now without leaving our house. Computers will be everywhere including out clothes. Many people will have chips and mini computers inserted in their heads to hold huge amount of information and have a quick access to it.

But what will be the most amazing thing in the 21st century is the flight to the outer space and Mars that will be available to all people. Scientists say that Mars has many things similar to Earth. Moreover, they say that with the help of modern technology people can artificially create conditions that will allow people to live there.

To sum up, I am sure that many amazing changes will be brought by the 21st century. Furthermore, I think that with the help of the contemporary technologies, people can do many things that were even difficult to imagine decades ago. So, nowadays it is rather difficult and even impossible to imagine all the changes that will happen in the next decades.
