Growing Up

According to UN statistics, by the year 2050, the population of planet Earth will have risen to over 9 billion and feeding all these people will require extra farmland the size of Brazil. The scientists offer the idea of vertical farming.

Vertical farms are a good idea because they don`t take up as much space as traditional farms. That is why, they may be a solution to growing enough food for an increasing population with a lack of farmland. They can be built in cities to allow people to have access to local produce and therefore reduce transport costs. This idea is also environmentally friendly as the farmswill be powered by solar, wind energy and will grow a variety of fruit and vegetables in a solution of nutrients and water. The walls will be made of glass to allow in sunlight. The scientists point out that just one 30-storey building would provide food for 10 000 people.

However, the idea isn`t without its problems. Crops nearer the glass would get more light. That means they would grow quicker than crops farther away. Possible solutions include having a permanent light source on every floor like the ones we now have in industrial greenhouses.

All in all, mankind remembers the stories of The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. There were the structures with lush green gardens on different levels many metres high. These are long gone, but the situation in our modern consumer society isn`t good enough. The population rises and food prices soar. So,it`s a good idea to let a modern-day equivalent of these gardens spring up.

The 1950s дом.задание на 4.12.2017

Life in the 21st century is fast-paced and ruled by mobile phones, the Internet and gadgets, so it`s easy to understand why some people long to go back to the simpler times of the past. They like living in a 1950s time warp.

            The 1950s were an era of colourful homes, clothes and accessories, black and white TVs, rock and roll music and traditional values. Some people choose to live as people did back then as only cherishing these times is not for them. They use retro decor in their houses which are full of second-hand vintage appliances. They buy authentic metal kitchen units. That`s why their houses look like a 1950s time capsule. What`s more, they try hard to bring the spirit of 1950s into the 21st century. So, they dress like people in 1950s. For example, women in clothes prefer pencil skirts, white blouses and wide belts. They also never leave houses without their bright lipstick on. Furthermore, they appreciate people. That`s why they look after their elderly neighbours and bake cakes for their friends. They avoid watching TV and reading newspapers as all the violence, greed and materialism make them shudder.

            However, everybody admits to owning and using some 21st century conveniences. There are a lot of things which can`t be kept out of sight. We have an electric kettle, a fridge, a dishwasher and a microwave in our kitchen. Furthermore, we can`t imagine our life without surfing the Internet. Living without mobile telephones and TV seems bland.

            To sum up, every era has its advantages. There is something special in our past while our present life is distressing at times.

 Personally, I `d prefer to live in 1950s as I like being in retreat from the 21st century.  I like authentic old things and accessories like trilby hats and stylish suits. In addition, I respect the values of 50s, the “make do and mend” attitude that is so different from our age of throwaway fashion and ever-changing technology.

Personally, I`d prefer a fast-paced life of 21st century. I`m used to living with all modern conveniences such as laptops, washing machines and dishwashers. I adore ever-changing technology. Besides, I can`t imagine living without my mobile phone and the Internet as they help me communicate with my friends. I can always send a message to my parents when I have any difficulties.
