Lesson 1
How will we live in fifty years time?

Read some predictions for the year 2050.

We will have new laser toilets in our homes. We wont have water toilets because water
will be very expensive.

Very few people will smoke and cigarettes will be illegal.

6
Mdulo VI

We will use our eyes for personal identification for example, to get into our homes. We
will not have I.D. cards.

We wont have money- we will use portable cards.

We will go on -virtual reality holidays- because they will be cheaper than the real
ones.

7
Mdulo VI

Most books will disappear- we will only have one electronic book. But we will change
the content of our electronic book when we want.

We will have portable computers in our shoes and communicate information to people
by touch.

Petrol cars will disappear. We will have electric or solar cars and more people will use
public transport.

Making predictions

In level 1 we have practised a way of making predictions. Do you remember how?

Read and listen to the following dialogue:

J ohn: Oh! Look at those grey clouds!
Maria: Yes, They are really black. Its going to rain!
J ohn: By the way, do you know anything about Mark?
Maria: Yes, he has a new girlfriend. I think they are going to get married soon.
They are really in love!
J ohn: Great! I started a new job two months ago. I earn quite a lot of money, so
Im thinking about changing my car.
Maria: So you are going to buy a new car. Which car would you like to buy?
J ohn: Well, I still dont know.

When do we use be going to?

10
Mdulo VI

(Be) Going to
The structure of these tense is the following:

Uses
To make predictions:
We may use be going to to make predictions if we are certain (sure) about the
prediction and there is some physical evidence. Example:
Look! Hes lost a ski. Hes going to fall
To talk about future plans, intentions or decisions.
Example:
Helena s going to go to the University next year.

Self correction activity 1.3 listening activity

Talking about birthdays.

1) Write words connected to birthdays.
Present,

2) You are going to listen to three people: Sara, Peter, Martha, talking about their
birthdays. Listen to them and answer the following questions.

a. Who doesnt usually celebrate their birthday with their family?
_________
b. Who usually celebrates their birthday with their family?
Subject + verb to be + going to + an infinitive verb

11
Mdulo VI
__________
c. Who doesnt usually celebrate their birthday at all?

3) Listen to the people again and write what each of them is going to do or to get at their
birthday.

Making predictions 2

Read the text at the beginning of the lesson. What word do we use to express future?

Simple Future

Example: We wont use money in the future, we will use electronic cards.

Example: Will petrol cars disappear?
USE:
We use will/ wont +infinitive to make predictions which are your opinions (what
you think/ guess in the future).
Examples:
I think pollution will soon be the worlds biggest problem.

Use the words to write sentences about life in the future.

Subject + will + infinitive.
wont (will not)

Will + subject + infinitive.
Wont (will not)

12
Mdulo VI
Example
Women/ have/ better jobs. More men/ work/ at home.
Women will have better jobs. More men will work at home.

1) Most forests/ disappear. Wood/ become/ very expensive.
2) Most children /not go/ school. They study/ home/ the Internet.
3) People/ not work. Robots /do / their work.
4) Scientists/ find/ a cure for cancer and AIDS.
5) People not buy/ books. They/ use / the Internet.


Who said that, and when? Try to match the speakers, dates and predictions

Mdulo VI

We all make mistakes!
Even experts can be wrong. Here are six
of the worlds worst predictions:

I dont think well have
another war. This one is
probably the last one

I dont think therell be a
woman Prime Minister in
my lifetime.

Verdi Rigolettto will be
famous for a day or two
and they will be forgotten

Therell only be a world
market for about five
computers

These boys wont be a
success

The aeroplane will never
be able to fly

Example
I think Margaret Thatcher said .in 19..

Look at Debbies postcard

1) What tense does she use for travel arrangements?

2) Is she talking about now or the future?

Present continuous with future meaning

Look at these two sentences. What is the difference?

Debbie is arriving in Budapest at 10.00 a.m. (This sentence expresses
future. Debbie is going to Budapest. She has the ticket)
Debbie is leaving a message right now. (The action is happening at the
moment of speaking)

We use the present continuous (be + verb + ing) + a future expression (tomorrow,
next, this afternoon, etc) to talk about arrangements (e.g. things you write on a
diary)

Use 1
WILL to express a voluntary action

Will often suggests that the speaker will do
something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one the
speaker offers to do for someone else.
Often, we use will to respond to someone elses
complaint or request for help.

E.g.:
A: Im really hungry.
B: Ill make you some
sandwiches.

A: Im so tired. Im about to fall
asleep.
B: Ill get you some coffee.

Use 2

WILL to express a promise

Will is usually used in promises.

E.g.:
- I will call you when I arrive.
- If I am elected President of the
United States, I will make sure
everyone has access to
inexpensive health insurance.
- I promise I will not tell him about
the surprise party.

The Simple Future
The Simple Future has two different forms in English: will and (be) going to. Although the two
forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings.
These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice the
differences will become clear.
Both will and (be) going to refer to a specific time in the future.

past present FUTURE

Form
will +verb E.g.: I will help him later.
I will never help him.
Note: When youre using a verb tense with more than one part, such as simple future (e.g. will
help), adverbs usually come between the first part and the second part (e.g. will never help)

41
Mdulo VI

Use 3

WILL to make an offer

Shall I help you?

Lesson 4
Transportation of the future

Read and listen to this article from the science section of a magazine. It describes
transportation in the future.

Transportation of the future
In the next few decades people are
going to travel very differently from the
way they do today. Everyone is going
to drive electrically operated cars. So in
a few years people wont worry about
running out of gas.
Some of the large automobile
companies are really moving ahead
with this new technology. F&C Motors,
for example, is holding a press
conference next week. At the press
conference the company will present
its new, electronically operated models.

Transportation in the future wont
be limited to the ground. Many people
predict that traffic will quickly move to
the sky. In the coming years, instead of
radio reports about road conditions and
high away traffic, news reports will talk
about traffic in the sky.
But the sky isnt the limit. In the
future, youll probably even be able to
take a trip to the moon. Instead of
listening to regular airplane
announcements, you will hear
someone say, The shuttle to the moon
leaves in ten minutes. Please check
your equipment, no more than ten
ounces of carry-on baggage are
allowed.

Theyll start themselves, and theyll adjust the seats, mirrors, and steering wheel

route to take.
Interviewer: That certainly is amazing! Im sure lots of our listeners have questions
for you, but, unfortunately, we only have time for a few call-in today.

First conditional sentence
A first conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an "if" clause and a main clause:
if clause main clause
If you study hard, you will pass the test.
If the "if" clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the "if" clause comes second,
there is no need for a comma:
main clause if clause
You will pass the test if you study hard.
We use different verb forms in each part of a first conditional:
if clause if + subject + simple present verb
main clause subject + will + verb

Using the first conditional
The first conditional is used to talk about things which are possible in the present or the
future -- things which may happen:
Example Explanation
If it's sunny, we'll go to the park.
Maybe it will be sunny -- that's
possible.
Paula will be sad if Juan leaves.
Maybe J uan will leave -- that's
possible.
If you cook the supper, I'll wash
the dishes.
Maybe you will cook the supper --
that's possible.

MAYOR
Daniel Baker
Party: Democrat
Occupation: Mayor
Background: City clerk, State Assembly,
attorney.
Education: Yale Law School, LL.B, Howard
University, BS cum laude.
Statement supplied by candidate:
Four years ago, I promised to create a
government that you could count on. Today,
after four years as mayor of this great city, I am
proud to say that we have come a long way. But
the job is not finished. If I am reelected,
together we will finish the work we started
four years ago.
The backbone of our effort must be education.
In the next ten years , there will be 16 million
new jobs in the united States. A lot of these
jobs will be filled by citizens of our city if we
prepare them. But they wont be ready
unless we improve our school system now.
My second priority is housing. It wont do any
good to provide jobs if people continue to
live in bad conditions. We must continue
Gabriela Ibarguen
Party: Republican
Occupation: City controller
Background: City controller, District Attorney,
member U.S. House of Representatives.
Lawyer
Education: U.C.L.A Law School. LL.B, U.S.C,
B.A
Statement supplied by candidate:
Our streets are plagued by crime, and many
people are afraid to go out of their homes. If I
am elected, my highest priority will be to
give the neighborhoods back to the citizens.
A lot of this violence is being committed by very
young offenders. My administration will say to
these young people: if you want to stay out of
trouble, we will help you to do that. But if
you do crime, youll do the time. If you
commit a violent crime, you will go to jail,
and you will serve your full sentence.
If I become mayor, I will help citizens protect
their neighborhoods. I will put more police on
the streets, demand mandatory prison

rebuild housing in our city neighborhoods. My
opponent talks about waging a war on crime
and drugs. I agree that violent crime is a
problem. But were not going to solve the
social problems in this city if we dont house
people better.
If our city offers an educated work force,
business will thrive here. And as business
thrives, we will have more money to rebuild
housing. If our citizens have decent homes,
then our neighborhoods will become healthy
again. Im not going to pretend that these
problems will go away quickly. But. If we work
together, we will solve them.
I urge everyone to get out and vote on election
day. If you dont vote, you will not have a
saying on the future of our great city.
sentences for drug dealers , and set up a
cooperative program between police and
communities. If I am elected, I will help you
fight for every street, for every house.
Together we will win.
But our young people wont have a reason
to avoid crime in they dont have some hope
for their futures. Thats why my second
priority as mayor will be bring business back to
our city. My opponent raised taxes as soon as
he took office four years ago. As a result,
business left in droves we have lost over
100,000 jobs in the last four years.
If we lower taxes, business will return. If
business return , our youth will have jobs to
look forward to and some reason to hope.
And if they have hope, they will not turn to a
life of crime.
I urge you to vote for me next Tuesday. If I
am elected, well hang out a sign: Open for
business again.

Speaker 1
The next big NetAid charity event will be three concerts which will take place at the
same time in London, Geneva and New York. Many well-known bands will be
performing at the concerts, which aim to raise money for people around the world who

78
Mdulo VI
live in poverty. You can either buy a ticket and go to one of the stadiums where the
concerts are taking place, or you can watch the concert live on the Internet and make
donations on line.
Speaker 2
I think its very important for everyone to show their support for NetAid and going to an
event like this is a great way to prove it. If going to see your favourite performers on
stage at an amazing event like this can help to fight the world poverty then therea
future for everyone. Thanks to modern technology , everyone in the world can
participate in the event, and that means more aid for those who are suffering and who
need our help. So, my view is, lets take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to enjoy
ourselves and, at the same time, do something together about the world poverty.
Speaker 3
A friend told me about the charity gig and thought great a chance to see my favourite
band perform and do something useful at the same time. Actually, I asked my parents to
make a donation for me from my pocket money you cant do it yourself because its all
done on the Internet with credit cards and that kind of thing so its quite hard for young
people to give money directly but I think its great and Im sure more people will make
use of it in the years ahead. After all, if we dont do something now, things will only get
worse.
Speaker 4
Many people give money after one of our events and they often ask us where all the
money that we raise at these events goes. Of course, they want to know if its sitting in a
bank somewhere doing nothing and thats quite understandable. Well, to put it simply,
all the money charity received is looked after and handed out by a special organization
called a foundation. This foundation chooses and donates money to projects which they
feel will help to get rid of poverty in the world. The foundation then follows up what
happens to those projects later and reports on the results to all those who have given
money.

Read and listen to the first Episode of this story:
Episode 1
Karen and Carl Edberg were twelve-year-old twins. They lived in Los
Angeles with their father Roy, an engineer. Karen was tall and had dark hair and
large brown eyes. She absolutely loved computers. She loved playing with
computers, programming them and making them. Her brother Carl was also tall,
but he had red hair and wore glasses. He also liked computers, but his favourite
hobby was designing robots.
The Edbergshouse was a strange place. They didnt have any normal
robots or computers like other houses. Karen and Carl programmed their own
computers. In the garden they had a guard robot called Rambo.
They had their own personal robot called Junior. Junior was small, friendly
and very clever. He could cook, do the washing-up and answer difficult questions.
It was Friday September 24th 2050 when it happened. Carl, Karen and
Junior were upstairs doing some homework. It was a boring composition about
galactic history. Suddenly, they heard a terrible noise outside in the street. They
looked outside and saw cars crashing and they heard lots of explosions.
Karen was worried. Whats happening Junior? She asked nervously.
I think weve got big problems! Carl said.
Oh be quiet, Carl. Whats happening Junior? Karen asked.

Episode 2
Carl looked at Karen. What can we do? He asked.
Letsask Junior for some information, she replied. Junior, what has
happened? Why are all the robots doing this?
Just a moment, Ill check in my satellite information system
Somebody has entered the Computer Programming
Centre and has programmed all the commercial
computers. I think this person is DR Z, the computer
criminal who escaped from prison last week. He has

82
Mdulo VI
now got complete control over the city. He does not
control Rambo and myself, because you
programmed us!

So we are the only people who can stop this! said Carl. We must get to
the Computer centre immediately.
No. During the day the guard robots can see us, Karen replied. We
should wait and go out when its dark. Lets have a look at the map. The
computer centre is about 5 kilometers from here.
That afternoon Karen, Carl and Junior waited. Outside it was quiet. The
robot cars did not move and the guard robots were in the streets. People could
not go out of their offices, shops or houses. They were prisoners of the robots!
At ten oclock Karen, Carl and Junior left the house. They walked along the
roads towards the computer centre. There were no people. When a guard
robot passed them in the street they had to hide. They crossed the river and
went past the park. They could see the enormous computer centre, a building
with fifty storeys.
Suddenly five guard robots appeared in front of them. The guard robots
looked horrible, with square-shaped heads and big red triangular eyes.
Dont move, they said, or well shoot. They pointed their laser guns at
Karen and Carl. Come with us


Answer the questions.
1) Who did Karen and Carl ask for more information?
2) Who has programmed all robots?
3) Why did Karen and Carl wait until night time?
4) What time did they leave the house?
5) How many storeys did the computer centre have?

Tape script
Before we go on to the next track, Id like to tell you about this years Fox FM charity
auction. It was a great success last year. And this year I think, it will be better after
the robots rebellion. In case you dont remember how the charity auction works, Ill
remind you of what we do.
We ask you listeners for offers of something you can give and we can sell- but we
are not asking for kinds of things you can buy in shops. We dont want paintings or
second- hand clothes.
Let me give you a few examples of what we mean. If you have a computer and a
modem, you could offer an afternoon teaching class to someone on how to use the
Internet. If you have a horse, you could offer a mornings free riding horse lesson. Or
could offer something like half a days work at someones gardening.
Nearer the time, we will print all your offers in the local newspaper, and people will
have a chance to see if theres anything that interests them. Then on the day itself-
thats Saturday May 13, we will begin the auction. Itll be a phone-in programme, and
each offer will go to the person who offers the most money.
Now remember, its all in a very good cause, and if everything goes well, we will raise
over ten thousand pounds. This year the charity we are supporting is called Second
sight. Second sight runs an eye hospital in India, and it offers free operations for
people who cannot see because of eye disease.
So get thinking about what you might like to offer, and phone us on 278 273 with
your ideas. Remember we are happy to take anything you offer, big or small. And
now our next record from.
