1.      1. The kids are in bed, the house is quiet, and my wife and I turn on the TV. What's on? It doesn't really matter, because thirty seconds later, I'm working on my laptop. Meanwhile my wife is on Facebook on her phone. This is a typical evening in our house. And what's more, it's how many of us watch TV. The second screen is part of modern-day life, especially for young people.

 2.      A second screen can be a tablet, a smartphone, a laptop, or a hand-held gaming unit used whilst watching TV. Smartphone and tablet owners in particular are very keen on second screen viewing. People use second screens to look at things that are related to or totally different from what they are watching on TV.

 Comment ·

1.      1The more ways we have to interact with people the better- it's absolutely essential we are accessible al l the time, especially I what's more with a job like mine, where customers email at all hours of the day and night.

 2 If you ask me, it is extremely rude. Nobody talks to each other anymore. My son plays games all day. Meanwhile I As well my daughter spends her days chatting online. It's absolutely infuriating.

 3 On the one hand,  In addition, I don't like the idea of constantly looking at screens, but on the other, I must admit that unless the programme is absolutely fascinating, I tend to check emails and messages while I watch.

FUTURE TENSE

 THEME 2: FUTURE TENSE

Objective:

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to express future plans in oral and written way.

INTRODUCCIÓN (WARM UP)

Design a device that will exit in the future and explain its functioning

(Diseña un aparato que existirá en el futuro y explica su funcionamiento)

¿QUÉ VOY A APRENDER? (PRESENTATION)

               Jack will finish his work tomorrow    /   Jack is going to finish his work tomorrow

WILL and BE GOING TO express future time and often have essentially the same meaning.

WILL
Will typically expresses predictions about the future. Will does not take a final -s Will is followed immediately by the simple form of the verb

Ex: Ann will come tomorrow around 5:00

Negative:     Will +  not = won´t

Alex will not be here tomorrow Alex won´t be here tomorrow.

Question:
Will  +   subject   + main verb

Will you be here tomorrow?                             Yes, I will.      No, I won´t
Will is often contracted with pronouns:             I´ll,     you´ll,    he´ll.

Will is used to express willingness. In this case, will expresses a decision the speaker makes at the moment of speaking.

We often use will in these situations:

 a) Offering to do something.

                                   That bag looks heavy. I will help you with it.

 b) Agreeing to do something

               A:  You know that book I lent you. Can I have it back if you have finished with it.

               B:   Of course. I will give it to you this afternoon.

 c)  Promising to do something.

                  Thanks for lending me the money. I will pay you back on Friday 

d) Asking somebody to do something.

                  Will you be quiet?       I am trying to concentrate.

  BE GOING TO

Anna is going to come tomorrow around 5:00.
Be going to also commonly expresses predictions about the future. In informal speech, going to is often pronounced "gonna"
Negative:                         Be  +    not   +     going to
                               Tom          isn´t             going to come.

Question:                 Be    +   subject     +   going to

                               Are           you              going to come? Yes, I am    /       No, I am not.

 PRÁCTICO LO QUE APRENDÍ (PRACTICE) 

Write a question using GOING TO for each situation

(Escribe una pregunta para cada situación usando el GOING TO. Emplea las palabras que se encuentran entre paréntesis)

¿QUÉ APRENDÍ? (EVALUATION)

Read the following text  (Lee el siguiente texto)        

HOW WILL WE LIVE?

A. PICTURE THIS: You wake up in the morning. A soft light turns on in your room. You go into the bathroom at the shower starts. The water is the perfect temperature. After you shower, you go into the kitchen. Your favorite breakfast is already cooked and it´s on the table ready to eat. Now it is time to go to work. It´s rainy day. You live alone, but you find that your umbrella and hat are already by the door.

How is all this possible? Welcome to your future life!

APPLIANCE THAT TALK

B. Technology will allow homes in the future to be “smart.” Appliances will communicate with each other-and with you. Your stove, for instance, will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Refrigerators will suggest recipes based on food items you already have.

C. The technology is possible because of tiny information-storing devices called RFID chips. People already use them to keep track of pets and farm animals. Future RFID chips will store information about all the items in your cabinets. For example, they will record the date that you bought each item. Other devices will “read” this information using radio waves. When you need more food, your cabinets will tell you to buy it.

D. HOUSES THAT THINK

Are you tired of the color or pattern of your walls? In a smart home. You won´t have to repaint them. The walls will actually be digital screens, like computer or TV screens. The technology is called OLED, and it is here already. OLEDs are tiny devices that use electricity to light things. You can find the same technology in today´s thin TV screen. OLED walls will become clear like windows, or display colors and patterns, like walls.

E. A computer network will link these walls with everything else in your house. Called “ambient intelligence,” this computer “brain” will control your entire house. It will also adapt to your preferences. Your house will learn about your likes and dislikes. It will then use that knowledge to control the environment. For example, it will set the heat in the house to your favorite temperature. It will turn on the shower at the right temperature. It will darken the windows at night and lighten them when it is time to wake up.

 Read each statement below. Then circle T for true and F for false, according to the reading.

(Lee cada una de las siguientes oraciones. Luego encierra T para las oraciones verdaderas y F para las falsas de acuerdo a la oración

a. Someday, kitchen cabinets will tell you it’s time to buy more food.         T   F

b. RFID chips are already used today for keeping track of children.            T   F

c. People will change their wall patterns using RFID technology.                T   F

d. Darkening windows at night is an example of ambient intelligence.        T   F

It Must Have Been Love"

(It must have been love but it's over now)
Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence
In the bedroom and all around

Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away

It must have been love but it's over now
It must have been good but I lost it somehow
It must have been love but it's over now
From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out

Make-believing we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I've turned to water
Like a teardrop in your palm

And it's a hard winter's day, I dream away

It must have been love but it's over now
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love but it's over now
It's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows

It must have been love but it's over now
It must have been good but I lost it somehow
It must have been love but it's over now
From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out

Yeah, it must have been love but it's over

now
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love but it's over now
It's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows

(Must have been love but it's over now)
