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.
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.
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.
