February Week One

​This week we took a look at how the future was predicted by people centuries ago. Which predictions came true, and which predictions were completely off the mark.

it was a good opportunity to talk about our own ideas of what the future will look like.

Listening:
To start I recommend trying a listening exercise from Breaking news English about predicting the future which is adapted for learners. Or try another listening exercise about palm reading.

For original version, try a clip from of this American Life episode about predicting the future

Reading:
Learners can try an article from ESL voices called psychics can tell your future and keep you healthy.

For original version, try an article from NPR entitled how to predict the future no crystal ball needed.

​Writing
This week for a writing topic, it's your turn to be Nostradamus. please write an essay exploring what you predict the future to be like on multiple levels: personal, in your country, in the world. What do you think will happen with relationships, family, politics, technology etc?
Best,
Kelly
