Let's talk about your summer holidays!

Here are some examples for you ;)

I always enjoy summer. Do you? In summer, I like to relax and forget about school. I don't have to get up early and I can see my friends any time I want.

       My holidays are usually with my parents. We go to different places in Britain and sometimes abroad. In Britain, I like going to Devon, Somerset and Scotland – but my favourite place of all is Yorkshire. It  has lovely countryside and fantastic old buildings. The only problem is the weather!

       Last summer, I had two holidays. One was in Somerset, in a little village by the sea, and another was in Naples, in Italy. I went with my mother to Italy – by train! The journey took twenty-eight hours.

It's hot in the United States in summer. In Washington State, it doesn't rain much, but it still stays very green.

       During summer we love to swim, lie in the sun, go camping, and spend nights at our friends' houses. We usually go somewhere with our parents. Last year we went to California for the first part of summer and then to Disneyland. We also looked at international stars in Los Angeles. We met Nelly Furtado! After a rest, we went to Maine and Massachusetts with our mom, sister, and a friend. We stayed with our grandfather in Massachusetts, and then we went camping in Maine. We played on the beaches, and went sailing.

Back to the FUTURE

We have different ways of talking about the future. We often use going to (+ infinitive), the present continuous (to be + -ing) or will (+ infinitive). The structure we use depends on the function of what we want to say, whether we are talking about arrangements, plans, predictions, etc. 
  
present continuous (to be + -ing)------] запланована діяльність, домовленість

 going to (+ infinitive)-----------] плани та наміри, реальні передбачення


 will (+ infinitive)----------] незаплановане майбутнє, передбачення, обіцянки, пропозиції...

Your day in 2020...

This week my students talked a lot about the future. They were 
thinking about their lives and the world in general. There were plenty of interesting ideas: such as space travelling, flying cars,  living on Mars and so on...

Continuing the theme of the future want to offer the awesome video from YouTube about the development of technology in a few years.
I hope you'll enjoy it!!!

Will we have this technology? How do you think?

Do you want to have it ?
