Flight is a major theme in future predictions. Getting off the ground in controlled flight is a sign of the present age. But we ahve only had powered flight (as opposed to balloons, gliders etc.) since 1903. Not very long really in the scale of human history.
What will powered flight look like in the future? Maybe using jetpacks?
How will our houses look in the future. In most science fiction the buildings are high tech, and probably very expensive to build. They use lots of resources and probably don't last very long. But today we are already making houses that are high tech but simple and long lasting, as well as being cheap. We print them.

We are working with poetry in modersmål English at the moment. You will be expected to read, talk about and even write poetry. It is not about if you think it is good poetry, or if you think it is fun or not. It is about learning something new about how English works. But first, what is poetry? Poetry is about feelings, emotions and imagination and does not just focus on meaning and understanding. There are always more than a few ways to understand a poem. It usually uses language and is written, but not all the time. It does not follow the same rules as other types of language, and this is why it is important to learn about it.

A paragraph could be part of a text that informs people, describes something, critiques something, compares things, persuades people, lists a process, makes an argument, offers a solution or narrates a story. And, the level of detail will vary from text to text. All this diversity means that it's not always easy to determine what "one top...
Traditionally 'Literature' has been defined as "Literature is a term used to describe written and sometimes spoken material. Derived from the Latin word literature meaning "writing formed with letters," literature most commonly refers to works of the creative imagination, including poetry, drama, fiction, nonfiction, and in some instances, journalism, and song." ( Esther Lombardi ). But there is another important dimension to Literature that seems almost more relevant today than the fact that literature relies upon Language.
