Lesson 26 --- APOCALYPSE
Lesson26: APOCALYPSE
I think I was watching too much science fiction movies. I had a dream, a strange dream or a glimpse into the future of what may and could be. Poultry animals were all stricken with an unknown virus or disease and they were either endangered or extinct.. Mad Cow disease swept through the nation killing millions of… well cows. Chickens are now bred in captivity since a new form of the bird flue started wiping them out. Making cow clones and chicken clones was not good due to complications and they didn’t live that long. It was a worldwide panic, the economy staggered then finally collapsed. Imitations were created to substitute beef and chicken but the great demand for poultry meet was great. Until we were left with a final option, Breed and domesticate cats and dogs for public consumption. Foreigners didn’t accept the idea but Korea and the Philippines were doing fine since we have been consuming them for centuries. I woke up and I couldn’t explain my dream. I quickly wrote it and told my friends and relatives about it. None of them believed it and thought that I was just losing my mind.

1. What was the dream about?

2. What did the author mean by "imitations" ?

3.Do you think that the author's dream can happen in real life? Why or why not?

glimpse: to look briefly
poultry: domesticated birds kept for eggs or meat
endangered: species threatened with extinction
extinct: no longer existing
panic: a sudden unreasoning terror often accompanied by mass flight
staggered: to move on unsteadily
collapsed: to suddenly lose force, significance, effectiveness, or worth
imitations: something produced as a copy
substitute: a person or thing that takes the place or function of another
domesticate: to adapt (an animal or plant) to life in intimate association with and to the advantage of humans

Examples:

1) The government is doing it's best to protect endangered species of animals.

2) I nearly collapsed because of stress from work!

3) Be careful of some products in the market, they're imitations of the original ones.

4) Nothing can substitute for a mother's care.

5) Mammoths are already extinct.

1. What can you predict about the future?

2. Do you think it would be a problem for you to eat dog meat?

3. What would you do if this occurred in the future?

4. What kinds of problems can you see in the future?
