<span>Ages, eras and wars will always be
defined (1) <u>after</u> they are
over, or at least well after they (2) <u>have</u>
started. (3) <u>In</u> the year
1914, for example, no one said: 'Tomorrow I'm going (4) <u>to</u> go and fight in the First World War." Why not?
Because it wasn't generally called the First World War until the Second World
War had started. Similarly, no one ever said: 'Next year (5) <u>will</u> be the start of the Industrial Revolution" The
era now known as the Industrial Revolution only started being called that once
it was well under way. (6) <u>By</u>
the time we are old, we will all (7) <u>have</u>
experienced enormous technological advances. We might even (8) <u>be</u> walking round with computer
chips implanted in our bodies, or perhaps computer chip technology will have (9) <u>been</u> replaced by even more
advanced technology. There's talk (10) <u>at</u>
the moment that human skin itself might make an excellent electronic circuit
board. We can all make predictions, but nobody knows for sure. And nobody knows
what the era we will live in (11) <u>in</u>
the near future will be called by future historians. If we already live in the
Computer Age or the Information Age, as some people suggest the present-day era
(12) <u>will</u> be referred to by future historians, then who knows what era
we're just <u>(13) at</u> the
beginning of right now?</span>
<span>Last summer I was abroad for three weeks. My father was going to France on business and took me with him. In Paris we stayed in a hotel. We usually had breakfast early in the morning. Then my dad drove to work and I rode to the swimming bath. I swam there. When I had came to Paris, I knew only two or three French words. Soon I began to understand French. Dad's friends tought me. I think I can speak French a little now.</span>
