Leaving India for the United Kingdom to continue my research career, I felt more out of

place than before. At work, I shied away from discussions, let alone putting forward my

opinions. I was afraid my colleagues would see me through and realize how weak I really

felt. Some mornings, just stepping out of my room and going into the lab seemed a

challenging task.

That began to change after a quiet breakdown in the lab urged me to contact the

university's mental health services. I was advised to attend a concert by a famous

singer from my motherland. There I was in the packed concert hall, surrounded by strangers

— all of us clapping and singing along to the familiar songs. It was a complete victory. I've

changed a lot since then.

Soon, I planned a day trip to a picturesque city a few hours away. As I took pictures of

the beautiful surroundings, and enjoyed a lemonade there, I realized nobody was really

paying any attention to me. My confidence and self-recognition grew as I enjoyed more local

day trips. My growing self-confidence carried over to work, where I started to speak up and

put forward my opinions. I began to ask questions during departmental discussions.

So, when an important conference relevant to our research came around, I felt

comfortable registering to attend on my own even if my colleagues weren't interested in it.

Not only did I meet the speakers, but I also introduced myself to other attendees and industry

representatives, chatting about their products. The experience inspired me to evaluate my

own professional interests.

Since then, I have had confidence to move to other countries, enthusiastic about new

opportunities. Traveling alone did not give me any magical power, but taught me that I have

the competence to grow and succeed, just like everyone around me, and it helped me get rid

of the self-doubt that used to hold me back.

Life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all.It seems that TV channels will

have vanished by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu”, and the

computer will send the program directly to the television.By 2050, music, films, programs,

newspapers and books will come to us in the similar way.

In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and

vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages of

water. Some scientists predict that water could be the course of worse if we don't act now.

In the future, cars will run on new clean fuels, and they will go very fast.Cars will have

computers to control the speed and there won't be any. Today many cars have computers that

tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it

to your destination.Also, by2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in

just two hours.

Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on

strike and work 24 hours a day. They are also easy to control. And they never argue with

people, they can be easily used the variety of places — — factories, schools, hospitals,

shops and homes.

Scientists will have discovered how to control genes. Scientists have already

produced clones of animals.By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and

decide how they look and how they behave. Scientists will be able to do these things. But

should they?
