What do you expect to be the most important change or development in the world in the next ten years?

I actually think that the most important and biggest change, which we'll all experience will be that people won't be so keen to socialize face to face so often as it is nowadays due to technological development. We can see now that more and more people start to prefer staying at home, playing computer games or watch Netflix the whole day instead of going out with friends. It wasn't like that before, because technology wasn't advanced enough to for example allow people to work from home. They just had to go to work. But now very advanced and sofisticated technology, which is getting better everyday, gives us possibility to make our lives easier and people use it very willingly without noticing the consequences. In my opinion in the future it'll lead to a disorder of human communication.

Is studying abroad a good idea?

I think that it depends if studying abroad is a good idea or not on the person we're talking about. Of course, there many benefits like learning and practicing new language in its "natural habitat", getting to know a new culture or just the most obvious one: better school. But from the other side people usually leave their country and go study abroad alone, without anyone they know, so if someone is not very sociable it can be really hard for him to leave family and adjust to the new place and people. Another problem can be money. Studying abroad usually goes with high expenses. You have to live somewhere, eat something and many more. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford it. So as we can see, studying abroad can be both good and bad option and it really depends on many factors.

I remember that at first when I heard that we wouldn't go to school for the next two weeks I was so happy and glad that I'll have a break from school and finally be able to take some rest. But now my opinion has totally changed. I'm really tired of sitting at home. First two weeks wasn't even that bad, because I could f.ex. go for a walk with my dog, but now I can't even do that! Everything is getting so repetetive and boring. I also find cooperating with teachers online really difficult. I have to scan everything and check Librus several times a day and my eyes really hurt from doing that, because most of the tasks I have to do on the computer. But the biggest problem is that I can't see my friends. I really miss them and Face Timing with them is no longer enough for me. In this situation i'm so thankful that I have siblings. The only positive side of this whole quarantine I can find is that I don't have to go to school and from school to home in a cro...
