UNIT 1: FUTURE
A. Warm up
Reading
Read the text about “Robot Teachers”
ROBOT TEACHERS
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would
probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It's
easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but
some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we
underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they
already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness.
Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing
personal information with a machine than a person. Could
there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony seldom thinks so, and he even has a date for the robot
takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring
information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students´ faces,
movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student.
It's not a popular opinion and its unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really
connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the
world, there aren't enough teachers and 9–16 percent of children under the age of 14 don't go to
school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't
get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.
Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world
are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will
robots replace teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” Office workers can use software to
do things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers
waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking
homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports,
teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
Reading comprehension
Read the text and choose the best option (T) for true and (F) for false
F 1. None jobs seem to be done much better by robots than human beings.
F 2. Anthony thinks in 20 years robots will replace to teachers in classrooms
totally.
3. Some people disagree that robots will never feel empathy towards human T
beings.
4. One of the benefits of robot teachers is that they are not leaving jobs for a better T
salary. F
5. Robot assistants will help teachers by doing teaching work
1
Answer the following questions with your personal opinion:
1. Do you think that it is possible for a robot to replace a teacher´s role completely?
Why? Why not?
They could do it, but it wouldn't be the same. A teacher transmits emotions to teach,
something a robot will not do.
2. Would you like to have a robot as teacher or as a teacher´s assistant? Why? Why not?
No, I prefer a human teacher, because he/she will teach me much better.

A. WARM UP
READING
Read about LIFE GOALS and identify Samir´s goals.
LIFE GOALS
Hi, my name is Samir and I'm from Sweden. I'm going to talk about six things I want to do in my life.
First of all, I want to travel the world and meet new people, see new places, and learn new cultures.
It's really interesting for me, and yeah, I think everybody should travel a lot as long as they get the
chance.
Then, before and while my travelling, I want to learn at least five different languages. I like talking
diverse languages since I think it's really fun and people don't expect you talk their language
most of the time.
The third thing I want to do is to start my own company. I want to be my own boss. I don't want to
have someone else giving me orders. I want to help my employees to grow up professionally in
my company so they could have a better life.
The fourth thing is that I want to live in an exotic country, maybe an exotic beach. It will be an
adventure for me because I live in Sweden and going to the other side of the world would be
awesome and a completely new thing for me, so that's the fourth thing I want to do.
The fifth thing is that I have afraid of heights. I can't be at the top of the building and look down. I
would be really scared, so I have to overcome my fear of heights. Even though it will be tough I am
thinking of doing parachuting due to overcome it.
The last thing I want to do is to experience all kinds of extreme sports, such as diving with sharks,
rafting in fast rivers, climbing in the abysses of big mountains or waterfalls, skydiving, and so on.

UNIT 2: PROBABILITIES AND POSSIBILITIES
A. WARM-UP READING
Ironically, Sheila´s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 are
leaving the site – only 2.2 million users are under 17 – but they´re not going far from their
smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It´s my alarm clock so I have to,” she
says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Unlike her grandmother´s generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones
at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the
other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years. “We
use Facebook to arrange meetings all over the country,” she says. “It's changed my social life
completely.”
Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as
their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers,
reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. “I was always connected and I felt like
I was always working,” he says. “How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in
front of a screen myself?” So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his
smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text
messages. “I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important
thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.”

OPENING ENDING
It is important to create an easy-to-follow structure. When it comes to what you have to say, break
it down into three simple sections: your presentation needs an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Here you find some tips:
A compelling introduction. Your introduction needs to briefly sum up what you’re going to
talk about and why it’s useful or relevant to your audience.
Offer a body of evidence. The body of your presentation is where you create sense with the
facts, quotes, and evidence to back up your main points.
Sum up with key takeaways. The conclusion is where you loop back to your original statement
and give the audience some key takeaways on how they can put into practice what they've
learned.
No more than 10 slides in total. Who wants to sit through pages and pages of slides? No one.
By keeping a total of 10 slides, even if your presentation is 30 minutes long, you’ll give the
audience a chance to digest the screen messages aligned with your talk.

Lesson 3B. LET´S LIVE!
A. WARM-UP
READING
Read the article and underline words you don’t understand from it.
Many people complain that they don’t have enough time. They have too much work to do
every day and there are always too many things that they haven´t done. There is pressure
to be available 24/7 to colleagues, clients, and friends. We spend around 13 hours a week
in emails and an average of 3 hours a day on social media. Living in a big city makes
things worse, we spend 106 days of our life looking for a parking space and many days a
year in traffic jams. We have less time to relax, we live too stressed that this makes us
more impatient and not polite at all. On average most adults lose quite important parts of
the day either commuting or overworking.
So please take your time to do things for yourself and your own joy, spend time with your
family, if you live apart call them regularly it’s not going to hurt at all. The term workaholic
is used for people who have too much work or too many responsibilities. These people
live quite sad, angry, and anxious because they spend their days so worried about things
from work that they think they don’t have enough time to live. So let’s go and live our lives
at least on weekends and holidays.
c. Which are the two things most adults waste their time on?
Most adults waste time traveling or working excessively.

same function as adverbs and adverbial phrases. If we want to add emphasis to an
adjective in a sentence an intensifier will allow us to do that.

C. GRAMMAR
ADVERBS OF MANNER
What can you remember about the difference between adjectives and adverbs? Here's a
quick reminder:
An adjective describes a noun or pronoun: "That boy is so loud!"
An adverb describes a verb or anything apart from a noun and pronoun: "That boy
speaks so loudly!"
Adverbs are used to answer how questions e.g. "How does he talk? - He talks loudly."
Flowers smell sweet or flowers smell sweetly, which is correct? Smell sweet is correct
because it describes the smell of flowers. Smell sweetly tells how a rose smells, but
flowers do not have noses so they cannot smell!
"Fresh bread smells great" (adjective) - I am describing my opinion on fresh bread
"I smell terribly because I have a cold" (adverb) - I am not able to use my nose to smell
things because of my cold.
SPELLING RULES
1. Adverbs of manner are usually loud = loudly
formed from adjectives by adding –ly: careful
=carefully
serious=seriously
2. When the adjective finishes in -y, use easy = easily
–ily happy= happily
Grammar exercise.
Read each statement and select the correct complement for each blank space:
Hardly
a. Sometimes I need my teacher to talk more so Slowly
I can hear her better. Successfully
Angrily
b. She laughs at my jokes. Well
Happily
c. My husband sings when he's in the Quietly

i. I always study for a big test. Hardly

A. WARM-UP
READING
I think I have had a very interesting life. I'm 73 now and I don't work anymore. I was in the army for
51 years. I retired when I was 69. I have been to so many countries that I can't remember all of them.
I've been to Australia six or seven times and to South Africa three times. I have also been once to
Russia but Ididn't like it at all: much too cold for me!
They say that love is the greatest thing and I agree. I've been married four times but never for more
than five years. I don't think women really understand me!
I've never been on television, but I've been on the radio once. It was a programme about life in the
military about twenty years ago. I met the Prime Minister on the same day. Actually, I've met a lot of
famous people: members of the royal family, famous politicians and also famous cinema and television
personalities. I've never met the American President though which is a pity.
Because I've travelled a lot, I've seen a lot of wonderful things and have also eaten and drunk some
strange foods and drinks. I ate cat and rat in India and drank something called Mirto on a little island
in Italy many years ago.
