Subject : Making the library more popular with teenagers

Introduction

         I am writing with regard to my suggestion about how to make the library more popular with teenagers.

The library

        To begin with, the library is located in a very convenient area in the centre for some teenagers because it is beside a school. The real problem is that the building is very old with old-fashioned decoration. So, it is very not very attractive for teenagers.

What teenagers would like

        The entertainment for teenagers is the watching TV, playing computer games, reading magazines and of course they enjoy sitting and chatting in a modern place. Moreover, they like surfing the Internet, listening to music and watching films. On balance, teenagers do not really like studing and reading books so a library is not their favourite place.

Recommendations

      First of all, I strongly support that the library will become a very attractive meeting place for local teenagers if some things were different. For instance, if we stocked more interesting books teenagers would like, more teenagers would visit the library. Furthermore, we should add some board games, such as chess or backgammon (which train your mind). Moreover, I suggest buying computers and iPads, which we can put in a special teenagers' room such as a cafe' where the decoration will be modern. We can also to install Wi-fi and e-books, like comics, magazines, adventure and fantasy books to make a gorgeous impression to teenagers. In addition to that, I suggest renting music CDs and DVDs or creating special rooms with projector where everyone can watch online films.

Story

                                     An arson
         As soon as the phone rang, she knew something was wrong. After eight o'clock in the afternoon, Mary had her party. So, when the phone rang she started to feel very worried.
              When she picked it up, she heard a girl's ear-splitting shout and suddenly she lost consciousness and she passed out. Then, she came round and she said "I must discover who called at all cost". The phone rang again and Mary picked it up quicly. A girl said "Help, a man has lit a fire". It was an arson! Mary reported this crime to the emergency services who took measures to avoid the damage.
              Just then all of them went out or to a firefighter just in time and they followed the sirens of the fire truck. After that, she saw a man who threatened the policemen. He said he would throw the girl in the fire if they went near. Suddenly, a policeman told them "You must go". It is very dangerous here".
             Eventually, they learned from the newspaper what had happened. The man was arrested. Moreover,the carbon dioxide from the burning wood made the girl pass out and get weaker but finally she was fine. However, the man stood trial for arson, blackmail, attempted homicide and the firefighters put out the fire.

DESTINATION 2040

                                                         

                            DESTINATION 2040

1.Will everything be automatic?Are we going to have domestic robots to serve us?Will we ever make a machine that can think?

I think that not everything will be automatic,but a lot more than what we have today will.I think we are going to have domestic robot but not for completely everything.I think they will just do the work at the house and maybe help us a bit at our job too.I think that in 2040,it's not really possible,and almost impossible to have made a robot that can think.But in a longer time period,like in about 2200 we may be able to create something that will be like the human brain,and find another way to place it on the robots systems.This way I think a robot can think.
2.What new jobs will we have started doing by 2040?What job do u think you'llbe doing?

We will probably have started some new jobs,but I dont know what new jobs exactly.In my opinion,I think that I will be a streamer!

PLEASE CORRECT:

(A streamer is someone that he is streaming.Streaming means that someone is creating and sharing videos on youtube or even, he is going on a live channel and he is playing for example a game live and people can see him.For example if u stream on Twitch u talk to peoples where have chosen u and see u playing live.)
