I. Prediction will

J. What are your hopes for the future?

a) It's hard to make predictions too far into the future, but I think I can

say quite a lot about my life in about ten years' time. I think I 1) (still live) in the same city. By that time I 2) (finish) my studies, and, who knows, perhaps I 3) (find) a good job. And I 4) (probably go out) with the same friends too!
b) I'm optimistic about the future, so I think that by the time I'm 35, say, 5) (make) my fortune. By then I 6) (run) my own company for about ten years, and I 7) (almost certainly become) a millionaire! So I 8) (drive) an expensive sports car, I hope!
c) I think we should all be worried about what the world 9) (be) like in fifty years' time. By then, I hope that the world's governments 10) (find) an answer to the problem of global warming, but perhaps scientists 11) (still search) for technological solutions. It's quite possible that we 12) (still talk) about the problem, as we are now!
d) By the time I'm fifty, I expect that nearly everything 13) (change) and everyone 14) (try) their best to adapt to new circumstances. For example, I can't imagine that we 15) (use) cars, because by then most of the oil in the world 16) (run out). People 17) (travel) in electric cars, or perhaps we 18) (walk) everywhere. I hope that scientists 19 (solve) the pollution problem, but who knows! Perhaps some other worse problem 20) (come) along by then!
