  1. Written by Chloe Bari-Levy

    In 2020 I hope to live in the United States.
    I will be 21 years old. I'll study, and maybe have an appartment or share one with other persons or maybe I'll still live with my parents.

    But I would like to live in the United States. I often go to this country to visit my family and visit new places. I love it there. Living in the United States means praticing my English, spending time with my family, and studying. I really like this idea as it is a bit as a dream for me..

    That's were I would like to be in 2020 !

  3. There is a lot of beautiful and exciting cities in the world, Where would I like to live in 2020?
    The choice of my future place to live in 2020 depends on different factors. The city has to be very liveliest and with a lot of universities and an important student's population and in 2020 I will be a student. Paris is the better place in France to study. Moreover this city is very funny and dynamic. Otherwise a part of my friends and family lives in Paris. However, the weather is very cold and rainy. Besides, Paris is not located in front of the sea like Nice.
    To summarize In 2020 I hope I will live in Paris.

  5. It's such a long time for young people to project where they want to be six years later ! First of all, I want to be somewhere where there is a lot of sun and interesting people, friends. But if it's too much to ask, I just want to be in good health, no matter where I'll be. I can't forget my studies, but I have no idea of what I will do. That's why I don't want to answer to this difficult question, I let surprises and chance take control of my way.

  6. In 2020, I will be in my twenties.
    As a matter of fact, I would like to be everywhere except in France so I would probably be studying in a well-known university in California.( like USC or UCLA).
    Of course, at that time, i will have my driver license so I could ride on my own.
    I will either live on campus or share a flat with a friend. Personally, I think the second choice is better.
    If I'm not in California, I would follow classes in the College of Art and Design of London or the same in New-York, because I would like to graduate in the area of fashion, art and design.
    To conclude, these are my ambitions when I am 20 and I wish that if I read this paper again in 2020, I would be pleased to see that I have succeeded.

      use "take" instead of "follow" (line 7)

  7. To think of the future is a good subject but sometimes difficult. As everybody, I hope I will get on in the world, however I know that money doesn't grow on trees, so I will do everything to become what I want. So where would I like to be 2020 ?

    First, I always dreamed to live in San Francisco and to work there, but before I would like to go globe-trotting: to visit many countries, I want to meet people, to know other cultures that mine on top of this.
    On the other hand, the question is when I was 22 years old, I think (fingers crossed!) that I will be in India, United States or maybe Alaska !

    Eventually, I hope for the best, I live life to the full and specially I try to succeed my studies.

      I have always dreamed of living in... and working there. Before that, I would like to travel the world and visit many countries. I want to meet people, and to learn about cultures besides my own.

      The question asks, however, about when I'll be 22 years old. I hope for the best. I want to live life to the fullest, and try to especially succeed in my studies.

    3. I just wanted to say that I think where you see yourself is cool and I want to do the same kind of thing. I want to take a gap year in London or anywhere in Europe really, and learn more about the culture. I want to study theater in London because it has some of the best musical theater productions in the world. I do theater so I think that's cool. I also think besides the little mistakes that were pointed out your English is very good.

    I don't really know where I would like to be because there are so many places in the world to discover. I would like to be in one the best scientific univercity or business school of France or may be in Europe.
    I have also a lot of personal project like travel in differents countries : United State

  11. In 2020, I will be twenty. So where would I like to be at that time ?

    Firstly, for several years I've wanted to become a judge. Furthermore, I would have to study law. Then, even if my real dream would be to go to the United States, I would probably stay in France during my study time. So I think it'll be easier once I have finished them. To conclude after my studies, I would go to the United States because I'm crazy about travelling and meeting new people.

  12. In 2020, I will be twenty one, so where would I like to be ?

    First of all, I have always dreamt to study and live in the United States, particularly in New York. I had the good luck to visit this city and it really convinced me : people are very different from France, there are more open minded and funny. Moreover, it is a very cosmopolitan city with a lot of students and workers because there are a lot of big companies. That is why I would like to study business of finance there, in an university (like Columbia), and I would live on a campus !

    So, this is my dream : to be a student, in New York, in 2020 ! Of course it will be very complicated, but I will do my best to realize it.

    I am not really sure of what I want. I have 3 ideas. First of all, is to leave in Italy, in a little place and open a lovely little restaurant with my mother. The second one, is to make a buisness of sailling and diving somewhere who is very hot like Bahamas with dolphins .The last one, is to be at the head of the agency "Nouvelle Ä–re "in Paris of my aunt and after on a publicity company. As for me the best one would be to found a deal which brings together my three ideas.

  16. In 2020, I see myself building myself in the music industry as an internationally recognized singer/artiste. I also see myself owning multiple business establishments that are concerned with cosmetics and fashion worldwide. Of course, I would definitely like to have my own charity foundation that assists kids that are unable to get a proper education as well as children who are unfortunate and are without basic necessities of life (food, clothing and shelter). I see myself also creating great opportunities for individuals who have a dream that they are unable to make a reality.

    Among other great things, basically making a huge impact in the lives of people through music and business.

  17. In 2020, I will be in my early twenties. Hopefully, I will finish university and I would like to take a gap year in Australia to experience life in an English spoken country but with the weather like my home town, the French Riviera.

    Firstly, I have always been fascinated by the contrast of the seasons in this country. It seems unreal to spend the winter months on the beach especially to celebrate Christmas in the sun. I would like to live he relaxing lifestyle in Australia. I would like to stay 2 or 3 months in each different cities to discover the culture and meet different people. if I could I would look for and odd job to pay for my trips.
    So I will work harder to improve my English, in order to make my dream come true to spend a year in the Down Under.

  22. Everybody, one day , has dreamt to guess his future. We'll be in 2020 in 6 years. So, where would I like to be at this time ?

    First of all, I will be 20 in 2020. Like many French teenagers, I would like to study in the U.S.A. in a prestigious school like Harvard and Yale. Of course, enter these universities is very difficult and costs lot of money. Moreover, the winter is very cold on the East of America : I'm used to live in a sunny place but I'm willing to make effords !

    In conclusion, I wish to discover a new way of teaching. It's impossible to plan the future : so, let's get surprised !

    1. Hi I'm Melissa one of the American students,
      Sometimes those universities are also called ivy league schools. Those are very good schools to want to go to and they have beautiful campuses. It can get very cold on the east coast, but getting lots of snow makes up for it.

      There are just a few small mistakes, but otherwise great job! In your first sentence we would normally say "everyone has dreamed about their future". Also use "entering" instead of "enter" or you could say "getting accepted into these..." In the fifth sentence "Moreover" is also not commonly used in American, we say "Also". "Live" should be changed to "living" and the word "an" should go before effort. In the last paragraph "teaching" should be "learning".

  23. In the world, there are many countries and many people who don't have the same characters. Some like travelling whereas some don't like. I am someone who love travelling. Since I am 12, I would like to live elsewhere later.
    I would like to live somewhere where there is sun, heat, the sea... I love dancing, eating fish... The best for me would be, therefore, to live on an island, or in South America. However, I have to learn very well Spanish.
    In 2020, I would be 21 years old. I hope at 21 I would be somewhere, studying. I don't think, then, that I could be great studies in Dominican for example, so, in 2020, I would like to live in Spane, England or somewhere in the USA but in a little city, not where everybody wants to go.
    So, in 2020 I hope that I would study in a great country.

      For your first sentence, us Americans would instead say something like, "In the world, there are many different countries and people." Also, in your second sentence, you don't need "like" at the end. But, other than that and a couple small spelling errors, your english is very good for a 12 year old!

  24. 2020 - that's just six more revolutions around the sun away. By then I want to have a Master's Degree. But to more directly answer the question of 'where', I would like to be in Heaven. Its about time for the Lord to come and so put an end to this miserable earthly existence. Taxes, inflation, crime, taxes (oh I said that one before), vice of all kinds, growing immoralities such as homosexuality, sickness, heart aches, disappointment, anxiety, joblessness, more taxes - earth as it runs now really isn't all that. The King of the Universe has made me a promise of a better life and I am looking forward to it; and so far He has delivered on ALL of His promises to me.

  26. In 2020, I would like to be many things. First, I would like to be a journalist or a novelist, even though I don't have the patience or the imagination to be a novelist! Also, I want to be traveling the world, especially in Europe, to meet new people and to experience new cultures. A perfect image I have of my life in 2020 is me sitting on a balcony in my apartment in Paris and reading a really good book! Realistically, I will be in college, hopefully in Europe, learning about journalism.

    I know the whole traveling the world thing is a long shot, so I also have some personal goals for 2020. First, I would like to be less self conscious and more forgiving (I am VERY good at holding a grudge). Also, I will like to be healthy and happy with the people in my life.

  31. In 2020, many things will be changed in the world like the medicine or the president in France. Where would I like to be in 2020 ?

    In 2020, I will be 22 years old. So, I will be major and I won't live with my parents !
    I think, I would like to be in France and do my law studies in the city of Bordeaux ( for Americans, Bordeaux is situated in the South West or France ! ). I wouldn't like to do my studies in the USA like many people, not because I don't like the country but because I'm a bit afraid to go abroad... I think that because I'm young and maybe in 6 years I will change my opinion !

    Finally, in 2020, I would like to have my own appartment and to do and succeed my studies !

    So, I have a question for Americans. Would you like to go in France for your studies ? ( except Ellen who would like to go in Paris)

Hopefully, I'll get to spend a year or two abroad. I really want to spend a year in Europe; maybe Italy or Denmark. Or Switzerland, since they have amazing chocolate, and France (obviously) because it seems beautiful and there's so many bakeries and cafes! I also want to be involved with music in some way, and collect vintage guitars. I really want a small apartment complex in a busy city, because I love cities and I think it would be so much fun to live in one.

  33. In 2020, I will be far away from Maryland because Maryland is awful. I will be living in California because I've always wanted to live on the west coast. I also can not stand the cold because it is terrible weather. I will be living near the beaches and I will live in a decent sized house or condominium. I will have a pet kitten and live with a roommate. It would be boring by myself. I will be doing something having to do with film and have an internship somewhere. I will be meeting or looking for my first husband by this year. If I do not settle down by then, I will have to turn to online dating unfortunately. I will enjoy my night life in California also. That is about it.

  35. I don't know what God has in plan for my family. All I know is that I would want to be wherever God wants me to be with my family. As long as we are together and happy and God is apart of our lives I am happy.

  43. Hello,
    In 2020, when I shall be 19 years old, I shall like being always surrounded with my family and my friends but in another city as Paris.
    I find that Paris is one of better cities to the world to make a success of its life, the only defect of Paris is that there is not a beach and the heat.
    But even if I adore Paris, if in 2020 I am always in Nice I shall be happy because Nice is a beautiful city also.

  44. Hello,
    Wow I just found this question and all these answers, if only we had know…
    I won’t answer as usual but react to this.
    First of all, I hope that everything these students wanted will come true or has already come true despite of covid-19 and that they have fulfilled their dream.
    Especially this situation that we would never have imagined shows that we never know what will happen, nobody in the world would have believed all that has happened in two years. I think that anyone who thought that cars would be flying in 2020 would be disappointed but at least we have learned others things, more important to my mind!
    We truly have to enjoy life and I say that without even getting to it completely, but I am aware of it. Ultimately, who really does ? :)
    However, let's just enjoy what we have!
