TapescriptTapescriptTapescriptTapescript1. Well, that’s very interesting question.

It is already possible to make

artificial organs and parts of the

body-but it won’t be possible for a

very long time to make artificial

humans, known as androids, that can

think or feel in the same way as we

do.

2. We know that the planet’s climate is

changing. The Earth’s atmosphere is

gradually getting warmer. There is a real

danger that the sea level will go up and

there will be flooding in different countries

in the world. This is already happening in

countries like Bangladesh and some parts

of Europe, for example, Britain.

3. Well, it may sound surprising.

Imagine the situation of two twins-a

brother and sister. The sister goes

into space and travels at the speed

of light for ten years-when she

comes back to Earth she is thirty

years older than her twin brother!

4. Unfortunately, this is a very real

danger for the planet. A new

virus could develop that we have

no power to stop. It is something

we really should be worried

about.

Have you read some science

fiction?

Try to write a short summarize

about it. Did you like or dislike it?
