By: Devina Angela / X-2

Who doesn’t know J.K. Rowling? J.K. Rowling is a famous writer. She has written lots of books. One of her book which is very popular is Harry Potter.

Now, J.K. Rowling has already been successful because of her book. Harry potter novels have been sold all over the world. Lots of people love her Novels, including me. It is because the story is very interesting and unique. The story is about magic things that makes people like Harry Potter novels.

But do you know the story of J.K. Rowling before her success?

Before J.K. Rowling succeeded in her life, she had been divorced with her husband and had become very poor. She was very stressful. She had a child. Because she was very poor, she couldn’t buy milk for her child. So, she wrote stories of her own imagination and then she told the story to her child until her child slept. She didn’t have to buy milk because her child had slept and didn’t feel hungry anymore. That was her way to make her child didn’t feel hungry.

Every day she did that way, until one day, her child told the story to her friends. Her friends really liked the story and asked J.K. Rowling’s child what book that she had read. J.K. Rowling’s child told her friends that the story was from her mother which her mother told every night before sleeping.

From that day, J.K. Rowling started writing what she had told to her child every day. J.K. Rowling then sent her story to one of publisher to another publisher. Unfortunately, no one wanted to publish her story. Until finally, there was a publisher that wanted to publish her story and then, her story became popular.

From her childhood, J.K. Rowling liked writing a story. She wrote about rabbit. For children, it was very fantastic and interesting. J.K. Rowling has great imagination.

I admire J.K. Rowling because of her great imagination and her fight until she is successful. That makes me really like her. Now, she is very rich, even richer than Queen Elizabeth.

 

60 YEARS HUMAN LIFE EXPECTANCY

By : Alroy Daiva S & Eric Fernando

Currently, our world is experiencing the most severe disasters, drought, starvation, unemployment, and slums. Pollution and global warming are increasing, while politicians are not doing anything to fix our broken world and continue to corrupt millions of dollars. Famines and diseases like Ebola virus or SARS are spreading to nations that are unable to afford medical attention or basic human needs.

But let's look at the bright side of the future and possibly predict what will happen in 50 years. Of course the development in technology will increase people's life expectancy by 60 years and new medicines will be used to eradicate diseases like cancer and AIDS.

Human pollution will grow to their  tens of billions but 4 billions will be living on Mars which has been re-grown and oxygenated back into existence. Children will now study at home through virtual reality studying with a teacher that has artificial intelligence.

With the rapid development of technology, a chip 2 cm in size can contain VP to 128 terabytes of information, Teleporters, for long distance travel with the use of quantum tunneling. And a perpetual motion machine will provide infinite  clean energy to every one, development of entertainment will provide a complete immersion to virtual reality inside of games.

Those that don't  want to die will be frozen in cryogenics chamber, ready to be reincarnated at later date. That concludes our prediction of 50 years into the future, Have a nice day.

EARTH 2.0

By : Cindy Adeline & Elizabeth Tiffany

Our earth is broken now. There so many disasters such as floods in Indonesia, earthquakes in China, tsunami in Japan, volcano eruption in America, etc. It makes our earth getting worse and it makes our lives in danger. The ices in the poles are melting because the environment gets hotter than before. Factories and the vehicles that emit the carbon dioxide gas are the main causes that make global warming. And many people haven’t realized that our earth is going to break.

“If people still don’t care with our earth’s condition, we can’t live in this planet anymore and we need to find the new planet where we can live in it.” said the scientists. The scientists also predict that we will move to that planet. “Because there are no more hope to fix our earth that already broken as worse as this.”

We hope that in 2060, there will be more trees and kind gases. The transportation will not produce carbon dioxide gas, but produces kindly gas. The atmosphere will get better. And the global warming will lose forever.

The scientists will predict the disaster so the earth will not get broken. They will make green transport, so our atmosphere won’t get thinner. By 2060, we won’t go to the earth 2.0 or another planet.

OUR LIFE 50 YEARS FROM NOW

By : Merry Anne

If we take a look at National or even International science channel about our world such as National Geography, we obviously know that our world is in a total mess. The snow in the Atlantic is melting down by the heat. And there are no enough forests or plants now. We’ve already seen tons of campaigns/ads about “GO GREEN” or “SAVE THE WORLD” but in reality, we don’t do that much change to save the world.

Could you imagine how much plastic bag that is used every single day? All the supermarkets, grocery stores, or a lot of shopping avenue uses tons of plastic like no big deal, and do you know how much plastic that has actually been recycled? It’s only 6% out of all plastics that are recycled. Like, could you imagine any more worse?

By 2015, everything will have been changed drastically. We will run out of pure water. No fresh air to breathe and a lot of heat and pollution. And do you know what would be left? Yes, Memories. We can only dream of paradise and everything from the past that we used to have. We used to have a nice weather, good places full of nature to travel, not just high-above-sky buildings around the street. And probably plastic can still be found even 50 years from now since it takes almost 200 years to actually destroy plastics.

So, humans, you better stop all the craziness and all that campaign. Better actually do something to change. It’s never too late. Or by 2055, everything we used to have will have only been memories.
