Letter l Hello! My name‘s Melanoma and I live in the year 3044. Well， that’s what you would call it. We call it the year 58 AL. AL means “After Leaving”. You see， 58 years ago， people on the earth decided that they had to do something to save the people on the planet. There were so many people on the earth and there was so much pollution that the only way to keep the planet from dying was to send people into space.My family was one of the chosen ones. About one third of the earth‘s population was left back home， and the rest of us went into space. We‘re now living in a new city on the planet Mars. Life here is very nice， and we are happy in our new home. The earth is better now， and the people back home are doing their best to clean up the planet. I was born here on Mars and I‘ve never been to the earth. My grandparents and parents tell me about the earth and it sounds like a beautiful place. When my science teacher told me that we could use our school‘s time machine to send messages to the past， I wanted to send one to you and tell you about the life here.
Letter 2 Every morning， I have to get up at two o‘clock. That probably sounds very strange to you， but you see， we have a different time system here. We divide the day into eight parts. Two o‘clock in the morning here on Mars is almost like six o’clock on the earth. I eat breakfast with my family before I go to school. The food here is different from your food: we eat pills and drink juice to stay healthy. My history book says that you ate something called bread and even ate meat from other animals! That sounds very strange to me. We don‘t eat any animals here and I‘ve never even seen bread. At three thirty I catch the school spaceship and fly to class. We don‘t have schools and classrooms. We meet our learning guides(you called them teachers) in different places and solve problems together. I love school. My friends are wonderful and I like to think about the world in new ways. I also like creating things with my mind box (you called it a computer). I‘m very interested in what you called painting and singing. Could you tell me more about what they were? Could you write to me and tell me about your life?
Thank you.
Best wishes
Melanoma
