2) Grammar
a) Ex.3 (a) p.47 Teacher’s explanation (Future Simple)
T: I think sometimes you talk to your friends about future, ask questions and answer them. How to do it in English?
We use will to make predictions about the future based on what we think or imagine. We often begin our sentence with the words: I think, I`m sure, I believe.
Example: I think life will be very different in 2100.
But we use the present simple after if and when, not the future simple.
If/when + present simple
If/ When I go to Spain, I will take lots of photographs.
b) Studying the theory box
Ss read the rubric on p. 47
