9-23/04 Tuesday. Classes 2-3

Hello

These two classes we´ve been practising a lot all types of future - "to be going to" for future plans and intentions. We checked your homework and listened to your holiday plans in your country/city:

In the morning we´re going to walk around the city centre.
In the afternoon we´re going to visit the museum.
In the evening we´re going to relax.

Listen to Kate, what are her future plans? Listening

What are your plans for tonight? Listen to six people talking about their plans. Listening

Practise the difference between "will" and "be going to" - Link

We practised "to be going to" in predicting future:
What is going to happen? - He´s going to fall, there´s a hole in the ground.

Practise this case with this link - "What is going to happen?"

We revised the use of "will" and "be going to" and learnt that also "will" is used for on-the spot decisions:
I feel seepy! - Oh, I´ll make you some coffee.

"be going to" is also used for predictions based on the evidence that we can see clearly:
There are a lot of clouds in the sky, it´s going to rain.

Practise more with the exercises:

Also let´s revise one more future - Present Continuous for future. We use it to express future arrangements:
I´m flying to Paris next week. (it´s already arranged)


Pracise with the exercises:

Here´s a link for watching and listening, practise the use of Present Cont. for future:
Video "What are you doing tomorrow?"




Also we got to know one famous singer Lorde and her song "Royals", listen to it again and watch the video.


Read the interview with Lorde What do you think about her? Why is the song called "Royals"? What does she say about her life and this song? Is this song about her life?




Your homework is to do the tasks in the copy and to think about the meaning of the song and its title!

Trimester III. 01/04 Tuesday. Class 1

Hello

Today we´ve finished discussing the film, we talked about the double meaning of the title and about its message.
We´ve started a new topic "Life in Future". What will our life be like in future? Will there be cool devices like Internet watch or intelligent earrings?

So, we were trying to predict the future and discussed some questions:
What will life be like in future?
What will people be like?
Will we speak the same language? etc

We use Future Simple to talk about predictions for far future and our opinion about it. We also can use such expressions for that:
I think ... will certainly (not) ...
... will probably...
...will possibly ...
... is (un)likely to ...

Listen to six people talking about future and cars. What do they say? What´s your opinion?

Homework: there are a lot of English songs with Future Simple. Can you think of any? Bring it to the class, write out the sentence from the song which contains "will" sentence. Don´t forget to write down the singer and the song.
