This is Ahmed from the Algerian English radio. It's time for your favourite progamme,
what's new? Today i am going to interview a group of Experts about changes that would
happen in the next ten years. My first question is to Mr. Rachid, Mr Rachid what are your
predictions about the changes in our eating habits for the next decade.

MR. Rachid: well, From what i see i say that we will eat more GMFs, i mean genetically
modified food and less Fresh food.

Ahmed: my Second question is to Mr. Farid, what are your predicitions about education
and schools?

MR. Farid: mm.. i think pupils won't go to school anymore, they will probably study at
home using holograms and computers.

Ahmed: thanks Mr.Farid; my third question is to Mr. Mohammed, what about shopping in
the next decade?

MR. Mohammed: well, we are now developing new Robots that may well do shopping for
their owners. These Robots may be available on markets in the next two or three years,
also they may not do other tasks such as cleaning, driving and cooking but will work
harder to make them do such tasks

Ahmed: My last question is to you Mr. Khaled, what are your predicitons in the field of
medicine?

Mr.Khaled: since the world now is suffering from COVID-19 i think developed countries
such as USA and Britiain who already found the cure, they might well give the vaccine for
free or they might sell it for a cheap price. This vaccine could stop the spread of COVID-19
and help the world to feel happy again.

Ahmed: thank you all my dear guests for these amazing predictions that will make our
vision clear for what would change in our life style in the next decade and it's time to say
good bye
