THEMES FOR THE SECOND PARTIAL

Hi my dear students, for this Second Partial we are going to see these two units of the program:


I.  Unit six: The Future Tense, with its two modalities: the use of the auxiliary will and the use of the form be going to.
Check this site in which you can figure out when to use WILL and when to use the form BE GOING TO: http://www.better-english.com/grammar/willgo.htm

 1. Tasks: Think and then write about how is going to be your life  in 5 years. 

     1. Where do you see yourself in 5 years. Name and describe a specific place.

     2. What are you doing with your life in 5 years? How do you see yourself spending your 9-5 time?

     3. What is the biggest physical change in you from your high school self?  In other words, at your high school  reunion, what will people notice about you? 

    4. What is your general attitude towards life? Are you happy? depressed? confused? dissatisfied?

    5. What do you miss most about your high school self and/or your high school life?

Use these questions to make a composition.  You must write about yourself in third person.  Refer to yourself by name and by the pronoun he or she.

After you have already checked your written work, you are going to record it in a video.  Go to this site to know how you are going to be evaluated.
