7. BOOK TASK: Do Step II the synthesize exercise on page 138.

Write a paragraph using information from step 1.

I don't agree with the biotechnician, considering that by doubling life

expectancy we won't have a better society, in my case I think society will have
an amazing improvement, putting us to thinking that, people never stop learning
or improving as humans beings, by having many more years of life, we'll be
able to teach many more things to the new generations, to provide much more
structured and wise opinions and advice. At the same time, university careers
will be even more specialized thanks to the much more skilled teachers, the
jobs will have workers with great intellects that with more years they will be able
to exploit. It is worth mentioning that, not having such a long life expectancy,
many people suffer when losing a loved one, such as parents, grandparents, or
uncles, so a better life expectancy means having much more time with the
relatives you love receiving their affection and wisdom and in many people
being a support to move on with their lives.
