Here is a sample essay: Life will be better in the future Nowadays many people are worried that life will be getting worse in the future.In my view,they don't have to worry so much because I believe future life of human being will become much better than now. The first reason is the rate of population increase is falling.Countries like China have adopted an effective birth control policy to decrease the growth of population.In many western countries,the rate of population increase has been below 0 for a few years.At the same time,food supplies are increasing because of new varieties and fertilizers.People can easily get what they like in the local supermarket. Another reason is the impact of technology.Machines will do the dirty,unpleasant or monotonous work.Road cleaners don't have to get up early in the morning because robots will do the job.Shop assistants will find that their work will get easy with the help of modern machines to put the goods on the shelves.Everyone will have more time to enjoy life. In the future,with the development of technology and economy,we will be living in a cleaner,wealthier and more peaceful world.Life of human being will be getting better and better. 说明：当总分出现0.5分时，在总分上加1分取整。 212
