Predictions about life in the future

S1: What will have happened by the end of the 21st century?

Chinese astronauts/ landed/ mars

S2: Chinese astronauts will have landed on Mars

Task 1: Look at the newspaper cutting from the future and say what will have happened by the end of the 21st century.

1. The third city/ opened/ moon 2. The scientists/ found/ a cure/ common cold

3. Oldest world citizen/ celebrated/ 150th birthday

4. Vietnam tourism/ welcomed / fiftieth holiday-maker/ Jupiter 5. Cars/ run/ on sea water

What will have happened by the end of the 21st century?

S1: What will have happened by the end of the 21st century?

S2: The third city will have opened on the moon .

The third city/ opened/ moon

S1: What will have happened by the end of the 21st century?

S2: The scientists will have found a cure for the common cold.The scientists will have found a cure for the common cold.

The scientists/ found/ a cure/ common cold

S1: What will have happened by the end of the 21st century?

S2: The world citizen will have celebrated her /his 150th birthday.

Oldest world citizen/ celebrated/ 150th birthday

S1: What will have happened by the end of the 21st century?

S2: Vietnam tourism will have welcomed the fiftieth holiday-maker back from Jupiter.

Vietnam tourism/ welcomed / fiftieth holiday-maker/ Jupiter

S1: What will have happened by the end of the 21st century?

S2: Cars will have run on sea water

Cars/ run/ on sea water.

Do you think it’s likely /or unlikely that

cars will have run on sea water by the end of the

21st century?

Task 2: Use the suggestions in task 1 to make a dialogue basing on the model like this. ( Pair work in 5 mins)

Likely Unlikely

Reasons - development of science and technology.

- Living standard will be improved.

- Cures for fatal diseases will be found

- It’s too far from the earth

- there is no water

- there is thin atmosphere

- it’s too costly

- it’s too cold/hot

- there are more diseases

- it’s just impossible

S1: I think it’s likely/ unlikely that by the end of the 21st century, S + will + have + PII……..

S2: Why do you think so?

S1: Because + Clause…./ because of + noun phrase………

Eg: S1: I think it’s likely /

unlikely that by the end of

the 21st century, people will

have traveled by space

shuttle.

S2: Why do you think so?

S1; Because of development of

science and technology / it is

too costly.

Unit 8: Life in the future – Speaking: Predictions about life in the future

Suggestions1. man / live / on the moon.

2. man / not use/ drug any more.

3. No car accidents / happen in our country.

4. Robots / do / most of the work / factories.

5. Most people / work / home /computers linked to a head office

6. Life/ be/ much easier and more comfortable.

7. Living environment/ be/ worse.

S1: I think it’s likely/ unlikely that by the end of the 21st century, S + will + have + PII……..

Or I think it’s likely/ unlikely that S+ will + V……

S2: Why do you think so?

S1: Because + Clause…./ because of = noun phrase………

Likely Unlikely

Reasons -development of science and technology.

- Living standard will be improved.
