City or country life?
Some people say city life is bad for young people.However, I come from a city and I disagree with the statement.
The main reason I prefer the city is because it is bigger than the countryside, so it has more schools as well as cafés, young people and teenangers can make more friends. Personally, it is important for me to be near shops and cafés, because I am interested in going for a walk with my friends on Saturday.
The only downside at the city is the noise.The cars, the people, the motorbikes and the buses make a lot of noise. Also, it is a bit annoying, but if you are used to living with noise, it is not a big problem.
On balance, I disagree that city life is bad for young people, as I think city lifestyle is more exciting than life in the countryside. In spite of that, some teenangers could not cope with life in the city, so it comes down to personal opinion.

Robots in the home
Have you ever thought about life with without any house work at all? Here is the solution! In 2035, most people say, that there will be robots that will do all the jobs in the house for you!
Imagine that you're going home and you are too tired to clean the dishes or make food. No problem! The house robot will do all these jobs for you! Isn't it perfect?
But watch out, because (like all the machines) robots have bad things, too. They can break something, they can lose something, they can go crazy ( if you make them do something that they can't).
By the way, house robots will be one of the most ingenious inventions of all the time. We don't know for sure when they're going to be in Greece, but in some countries they're already invented.
My opinion is that house robots will be very useful and I can't wait for their invention!
