Answer

one possible version：

    Life in the future：for better or worse?

     Many students are optimistic(乐观的)about the next fifty years．In fact，they think

  that the world will be a better place than it is now and our lives will be greatly improved．

  As a result，people will have a higher standard of living and live longer．

     However，other students are worried about the future．They say the world will

  become more crowded．Therefore，we will have even more environmental problems and

  live in a world with less energy available．

     But in my opinion，I think we will find ways to solve our problems and everyone will

  live more happily．
