People usually dislike mice, but people from all over the world know a mouse—the famous Mickey Mouse.

Many years ago, most films had no sound. A man called Walt Disney made a cartoon mouse. The cartoon mouse could talk in these films. He named his mouse Mickey Mouse. Soon Mickey became a good friend of both young people and old people. Children liked to see their lovely friend, because he brought happiness to them.

Mickey is a clean mouse from the beginning. Maybe that is why people love Mickey Mouse very much. In his early life, Mickey did something wrong. People were very angry. They wrote to Disney and said they didn't want Mickey to do the wrong things again. Because there were some things that Mickey could not do, Disney made a new animal called Donald Duck. He also made a dog, Pluto. This dog does some foolish(愚蠢的) and wrong things whenever he goes. Now, our Mickey Mouse is more interesting than before. He is known as a star of beauty and wisdom. He has his friends in almost every country.

I think life in the future is quite different from now. For example, 20 years, people won't use paper money anymore, because  will be free. As for education, kids won't go to school. They will study at  on computers. Every family will have robots. They'll talk  people and make them happy. They also help people do all housework. Thanks to the robots, people will have more free time, so families will  time staying together every day. The life in the future won't be the  as it is today. To protect our world, we should use  fresh water, and we need to  more trees. I believe the future world will be a  place to live in.
