Reading 9th form 1st term

Read the text, answer the questions.

Some people say: “It’s useful to dream”. So, Peter often imagines the city, where he would like to live.

It could be quite a big city with not very high buildings, which have large roofs, and systems of stores. The streets of the city of his dream would be straight and trees would make shadows for people.

There must not be any rubbish. All litter would be recycled. People, who work for such recycling companies, would walk up and down the streets to look for some rubbish for recycling. All energy would come from the sun and the Earth. All large roofs have batteries for collecting solar energy. Solar energy could light the houses and be power for cars. Earth energy would make houses warm in winter. People could use the energy of Earth because it was for inside.

Schools must be the houses of happy childhood. Students would study subjects only in real situations on practice. There wouldn’t be any homework, no learning by heart. But there must be some intellectual clubs for listening to poems and literary works.

Hospital would be half-empty because all people would have very nice health. People would be kind and polite as they had few problems. They would have a rest after their work. It must not be any additional work. But they could develop their creativity: painting, singing, acting, handmade.

Peter understands his dreams are too optimistic and it may seem they are far from reality, But he prefers repeating “All dreams may come true”. Early or late.
