Model Essay(范文)：
Now that we are in a new millennium 1, we can assume there will be changes in the world. Ipredict that the changes will be in the areas of information dissemination 2, global alliances, andfamily structure.
In the past decades, the computer was responsible for changing the way information wasorganized. Now, the computer plus the Internet is changing the way information is spread.Information will now be universally available to anyone with a computer. You will not have to goto libraries to do research; you will not have to travel to visit scholars; you will not have to goto a bookstore to buy a book. You can do all of this from your home on the computer.
In the past decades, the nations of the world aligned 4 themselves with the United States, theformer Soviet 5 Union, or with one another in a loose alliance. In the future these alliances will bemore fluid. Some countries will align 3 politically with one country, but economically with another.Some countries will share technology and other information, but will not trade together. Somecountries, which have long been enemies, will align militarily for regional security.
The family structure will not be based on a mother/father/child pattern. Single parent familieswill be more common and often the child will not be a biological child of the single parent, but willbe adopted. Other family structures like domestic partnerships 6 will become more accepted.
