Lesson review
Future predictions, imaginative ideas and cloning
Lesson Overview
Great lesson today, Jamie! We started with a drawing activity and then used questions from a game to talk about the future. You made imaginative predictions about AI and the world, and we explored some questions about cloning. You kept joining in when a question was tricky, and with a little help you practised giving fuller answers. A useful next step is making predictions with “will” in complete sentences.
Meaningful Moment
Meaningful moment
A thoughtful idea about cloning
When we talked about what could go wrong with cloning, you suggested that if a clone did something wrong, people might blame the other person because they looked the same.
You gave a clear reason for your opinion and connected the new topic to a real-life problem. That was thoughtful reasoning.
Strengths
Imaginative ideas
You made lively predictions about the future, including how AI might change the world and how people could change the weather.
You shared what interests you
You connected our discussion to your own interests and shared examples that helped keep the conversation moving.
You kept trying
You stayed involved across the drawing activity and game, and you worked on turning short answers into fuller sentences.
Next step
Make future predictions in complete sentences using “will” plus the base verb, and add a reason with “because”.
You shared plenty of ideas about the future. Practising this pattern will help you express those ideas more clearly and build on your answers.
Language Development
Original
some vocabularies
Better English
some vocabulary
Why?
“Vocabulary” is usually an uncountable noun, so we do not normally add “-s” to mean words in general.
Grammar rule
Uncountable nouns do not usually take a plural ending.
Another example
I learnt some new vocabulary at school.
Original
There are no world!
Better English
There will be no world left!
Why?
You were making a prediction about the future, so use “will be” rather than “are”.
Grammar rule
Use “will” plus the base form of the verb to make a future prediction.
Another example
There will be more robots in the future.
Original
I use towel.
Better English
I use a towel.
Why?
“Towel” is a singular countable noun here, so it needs “a”.
Grammar rule
Use “a” or “an” before a singular countable noun when speaking generally.
Another example
I use a towel to dry my hair.
Original
They will thought it's my fault.
Better English
They will think it's my fault.
Why?
After “will”, use “think”, not “thought”.
Grammar rule
Use “will” plus the base form of the verb.
Another example
They will think it was my fault.
