Can you understand the following words?
“Long time no see.”
“Good good study, day day up.”
“I like your smile, but dislike you put your shoes on my face.”
Yes, we call these examples Chinglish, like “people mountain, people sea”.
Chinglish usually means English words with Chinese grammar on street signs or products（商品）. However, many English speaking tourists love them. Tom has been living in Beijing for years. “I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It’s quite interesting. I think if the translations（翻译） of English in China are all perfect（完美的）, something will be lost from Chinese culture. So, it is also a part of Chinese culture.”
However, Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future. Beijing has made a plan to correct（改正） Chinglish within five years. “It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication（交流） between the Chinese and foreigners,” a Beijinger said.
However, some people in China like Chinglish. They think that English has “borrowed”(借) a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish（西班牙语） in the past, and now as Chinese’s turn.

What would the future life be like? I think we will be able to travel faster and safer around the world and into space. Maybe one day we can work in Beijing, sleep in Chengdu and visit the moon for a holiday.
We will have new energy(能源)that doesn’t make pollution. Possibly, people will find ways to use cleaner things, such as sea water, to make energy without polluting the earth.
We will have machines that can copy(复制) everything in the future. Put a cake on the machine and it makes a new one. If the machine is like a fax machine(传真机), we can send food and gifts to our friends easily.
We will have clever robots that work for us, and then bring us useful things and take away our rubbish(垃圾). Now we have to press(按) a key or type a word to make a machine work. But in the future, if we think of something, the machine can make it for us. The machine can understand our ideas.
We will be able to go into computer games and films, and everything will feel real. We will be able to make our homes like forests (森林)or sunny beaches or anything we want. Perhaps, one day we will be able to collect our dreams and put them on DVDs.
