2. Why does Tanaka think Tokyo will be a more livable city?
To: Hung Le
Subject: Tokyo of the future
Dear Hung,
I received your email last week, but I couldn't answer your question right away. You asked me what Tokyo would look like forty years from now. What a difficult question! To tell you the truth, I have had to think very hard and have finally come up with two predictions.
If I take an optimistic viewpoint, I think Tokyo will be a more livable city. Now it has quite a good public transport system. But people still complain about overcrowded trains during the rush hour. That's why I believe the government will use advanced technology to build faster trains and make people's life more comfortable. What's more, robots will be used to help with the housework. Thus, people will have more time for relaxation.
But if I take the pessimistic viewpoint, Tokyo won't be a safe place to live in. Nuclear and radiation accidents have always scared me. People's lives will also continue to be threatened because of the continuous risk of earthquakes and tsunamis here.
Well, Hung, I hope you are satisfied with my answer. And here is my question: What will Viet Nam's capital city look like in the future? I'm looking forward to your reply.
With best wishes,
Tanaka
