Where do you think people will live in the future? Can you imagine people will work and live in the sea? But how will people go to work then? By submarine( 潜 水 艇)?
Some scientists believe that some day submarines will be as many as today’s cars. A famous French driver says, “One day, people will work on the ocean floor as they do on the street!”.
If people want to live in the sea, they have to solve a lot of problems, like those of living on the moon such as lack( 缺 少 ) of oxygen and weightlessness( 失 重 ). Many problems are hard to solve. For example, what will happen to our bodies if we live in the sea for a very long time? Scientists are looking for answers.
Maybe in 50 years people will be able to live in the sea, away from the noisy cities on land. They will find it fun and interesting to live in the sea. And life in the sea is more comfortable. Don’t you think so?
