the conversation between two
Londoners.

Mary: what are you reading, Jack?
Jack: I'm reading some predictions about London in 2050.
Mary: London won't be a good place to live in, will it?
Jack: On the contrary, it will be. Although it's now a stressful and overcrowded
city with lots of traffic jams and pollutions, there are plans to improve the
situation.
Mary: how will they do that?
Jack: well, they'll build smart underground transport networks. The city will no
longer be full of cars.
Mary: Unbelievable. Anything else?
Jack: Many eco parks will be built, and they'll be watered by treated wastewater.
Mary: this means there'll be no pollution, will there?
Jack: that's right. London will be cleaner and more sustainable.
Mary: sounds great! I hope I can see their plans come true.
