What will happen tomorrow? This is a
question that has always troubled humans.
Today we will discover some methods of
divination.
Did you ever look at the sky when you want
to know what will happen in the future? A
lot of people have looked at the clouds and
precipitation to know how the weather will
be in the future. Yes, aeromancy is like the
weather forecast, but in the past, people
didn't have an app to see the state of the
air. Another way of divination you have
probably tried is aleuromancy. Have you
heard or seen fortune cookies? Well, as
simple as they are when you open one you
are practicing it. Aleuromancy is the
divination that comes in flour. In the past,
people put messages inside bread or dough
and then baked it.
The next is a practice some people did in
ancient times but is surely illegal today. We
are talking about anthropomancy. It is the
divination by reading the entrails of a
person. Another interesting divination
method is astragalomancy. It is a practice
to read by means of small bones or dice.
People who practiced it threw small pieces
and the way they fell gave information
about the future. Its name comes from the
Greek astragalos that means "molding" and
"neck vertebra."
Next comes a very interesting divination
method. The root of the word belomancy
comes from "bélos" the Greek word for
"missile, dart, arrow." And it is the same
root for words like problem, hyperbole, and
devil. To predict the future under this
method, one must draw arrows that have
messages from a container. If the Bible
comes to your mind when you hear the
word bibliomancy you almost guess the
meaning because bibliomancy is the
prediction of the future by means of looking
at books. Exactly, you just need to open a
book on a random page and what you see
belongs to your destiny. A very well-known
divination method is cartomancy. Its name
already tells us what this form of prediction
is about. Young women in the 18th-century
used it often to know information about
their future as who their husband would be.
There are many more divination methods
like ceromancy or the art of reading wax
from candles when it falls into the water.
Chiromancy or the art of reading the lines
on the hand or Lecanomancy that consists
of the examination of water in basins.

Page 4: Reading
Teacher Tip: To start the teacher may
write the title of the reading “Family life in
the future” on the board and ask the
students to think of two or three things that
they think will change in the future and
share their ideas in front of the class.
After the reading the students may organize
the main ideas in a mind map and the
teacher may ask the class if they agree or
disagree with the text. If the class is divided
by their opinions, the teacher may organize
a small debate.
Answers:
1)a. T, b.F-Relationships and family will
be different than what we have today.
c.T, d.F- The economy will make it
harder to live in an independent house.
Page 5: Writing:
Teacher Tip: To do these exercises, it is
important that the teacher does a review of
the future tense to be sure that the students
know how to express ideas in the future.
Teacher Tip: Exercise 2. The teacher may
ask the students to put the life events the
students want to talk about on a timeline, so
the use of time expressions is easier.
Page 6: Language Through the Arts
Teacher Tip: The teacher may show some
pictures of gypsies before the reading so
students can be clear of the topic they are
talking about and if they have extra
knowledge about the topic, it can be a good
moment to talk about myths or stereotypes
and talk about values, specifically about
tolerance.
Teacher Tip.
The group A and group B cards below have
to be cut and each student must get one card
so they can go around the class looking for
the counterpart that makes sense. Then the
students can make their own predictions.
They can add cards or change the second
part of the predictions.
In addition to cards made by students, the
predictions below can be used as example.

A: Hey Mili, how are you? Have you
already made plans for the summer?
B: Hi, Lucas. Oh no. Not at all. Do not even
say plans. I do not have a clue of what I'm
doing this summer, what about you?
A: Oh sorry haha. May I ask why are you
so stressed out?
B: Well, it is because I have so much to do.
It is not even summer and my friends have
already organized 3 pool parties, I will
probably attend to 2 beach weddings, my
company will launch a product so I must
coordinate everything before I leave, my
sisters have their birthdays and we meet
like every year to celebrate that. Oh, I
almost forgot! My coworkers will make a
farewell dinner and my parents will come to
visit me for a couple days.
A: Wow, amazing. All of them are fun
activities, but sounds like a lot. You know
what? I just read an article in the New York
Times where they talked exactly about this
problem people have. They call it the art of
making plans. The author says that it is
common for people to feel overscheduled
with free time activities.
B: That's my case. What else did the article
say?
A: So, after a study some researchers found
that if you schedule your free time activities
with friends they will be seen more as tasks
and not enjoyable anymore. That's why they
end up cancelling plans.
B: Great. So I am not the only one.
A: Not at all. They said that the culture of
planning-cancelling was already
discovered in 1986.
b: Wow, and do they give any solution?
A: Become a hermit
B: Really?
A: Noo! I'm kidding. You don't have to
avoid meeting people. They say that you
shouldn't plan every single moment and one
event so close to another. Make your
schedule less stressed. Leave time for
socializing.
B: So, you are telling me I should be more
spontaneous.
A: Exactly! In your free time, you should do
what you want and not what you must.
B: But if they invite me to events, I can't say
no.
A: But at the end, you go without wanting
to or cancel at the last moment.
B: You are right. What should I do?
A: The article mentioned a woman who
explained that to avoid cancelling plans all
the time, she always asks herself “Why will
I go? Do I want to go? Is there a personal
or business reason?" So she accepts only
those invitations she finds important and
she commits to go.
B: I will do that :) I will still go to the
events I already accepted this summer
because I already gave my word. Anyways,
thank you very much Lucas.

Teacher Tip: Before reading activity, the
teacher may take time before the reading to
ask students to draw a schedule of their
week, and write down their routine. Then,
the teacher can ask students to share their
schedules. In pairs or groups, with other
colors, they can divide the activities they do
during the day into necessary, important,
unnecessary; or from 1 to 5 in importance.
Finally, the students need to answer to the
questions: “Is this a well-organized
schedule?” “How can I improve it?”

Teacher Tip: Before reading, the teacher
may ask the students to use their phones to
do a little bit of research about the movies
that will come out in the future. They can
include series of streaming platforms such
as Netflix or Amazon Prime if the students
are interested.
Exercise 1. Ideas in notebooks. For this
exercise the teacher can divide the class
into groups of three or four students. This
will allow everyone to participate.
Moreover, the teacher may assign each
student a role in the group. After a limited
time discussing, the teacher may ask them
to write down their answers and present
them.
Finally, the teacher may read out loud the
answers, and ask other groups to agree or
disagree to create a small debate or

Is 2020 the future we dreamed about?
There are several reasons to have high
expectations in 2020. Inventions and
releases make it possible to believe that
2020 will be an exciting year. The
predictions said that in 2020 there will be
several events that will change the history
of humanity. Among them are the
exploration and subsequent realization of
mines on the moon, robotic lunar bases,
cars that will be self-driven, doctors will
implant chips in the human brain, scientists
will produce the first fully synthetic human
brain and London will connect to Beijing by
means of a high-speed rail. According to
many technology predictions, 2020 is going
to be a one of a kind year.
Japan will have its robotic moon base, and
it will set out to develop robots that could
create a lunar base for robots. There is no
technological impediment for them to do so.
However, the economic factor may stop or
delay things.
China has the idea of creating a high-speed
rail line. Expenditures and infrastructure,
as well as labor, would be put by China. In
return, of the rights to use the train , this
country wishes to have access to raw
materials from the countries that benefit
from the train. With this ambitious project,
China will unite the oriental world with the
western world.
Another prediction about 2020 says that in
that year the cars will be able to move
without the need of a person behind the
wheel. It is the dream of many companies
and technological companies that is not far
from becoming a reality, but there is still an
obstacle, how to make all cars
communicate with each other and send
information when they are so different and
manufactured by different companies?
There is still a long way to go, but a bit of
structure exists to allow that connection.
Experts say that this technology will be a
reality, but not yet in 2020.
With regard to the chips in the brain, they
will be a reality in 2020. However, we are
still not going to know the human brain that
well. Because of this, things cannot be done
as incredibly as in fiction.
There have been many technological
advances in the last decade, and although
not all the predictions that had been about
the future have been fulfilled, the amount of
progress made allows us to dream of a
future full of everything that once only
belonged in fiction.

Teacher Tip: Before reading activity, the
teacher may ask students to do some
research about education in the past by
asking their parents or older family
members about education in their time.
During the class the teacher may ask the
students to share what they know and write
the main ideas on the board. The sentences
comparing the past and the present can be
put on a timeline as a good way to review
grammar structure of simple past and
present.

Script:
The future looks promising and as a
challenge for people who develop apps. As
cell phones are part of daily life and
increasingly perform more functions, the
public asks for more and more uses. For an
app to be innovative and eye-catching, it
has to cover a need that has not been met
before. These are some of the most striking
apps that people expect will be created and
developed in the future.
Infant Crying Translator is an app that will
translate babies' cries with a staggering
92% accuracy. The application classifies
the reason for crying infants into 4 main
reasons. Crying for pain, for sleep, for
hunger, or for having a wet diaper. The
developers of this app have already
analyzed more than 200 thousand cries of
newborns. This app will make the lives of
parents much more enjoyable and less
stressful.
The second app of the future will be
Movesum. Users of this app will know how
many steps they should take to spend the
calories of each cake they eat. This
accompanied by a healthy diet will make
sure people stay healthier and more aware
of what is put in their mouths.
The Streaks is the third app that will be
developed in the future and one that will be
of great help for people who want to leave
an unhealthy habit, and change it for a
good one.
Companies like IKEA will benefit from apps
reality to visualize before buying how the
furniture will look in their homes.
An application of the future that will help
all fans of series and movies alike will be
RunPee. With this app, people will receive
a notification and their phones will vibrate
when nothing important is going to happen
in the following minutes. This will give
viewers time to go to the bathroom, buy
popcorn or make an urgent call.

Teacher Tip:
Exercise 1: Reading-The students may
work in pairs or groups and find the verb
tenses and structures in the text. Then the
teacher may assign each group a structure
and ask them to review the grammar. The
teacher can monitor that each group
understands the uses and structure of their
assigned structure. Finally, the students can
take turns moving from group to group
explaining their structure and learning from
the other groups. Once the students have
visited all the groups, the teacher can assess
their learning by doing some
comprehension questions or asking for
examples.
The teacher may also ask students to:
1. Ask their parents or grandparents
about school life when they were young and
compare them with their own.
2. Observe kids today and compare
their childhood and the life of children.
Answers: Answers will vary.

Alex: Hey! how is it going? are you
producing any music these days?
Jimmy: Good good. No! I just uploaded
some records to the cloud. I want to see if
people like the music of this last mini album
I am making.
Alex: Oh, I get it. Now that you mention
uploading to the cloud, this article I read
comes to my mind.
Jimmy: That one about virtual reality and
music?
Alex: Yes! That one. Isn't it amazing that in
the future out "idols" may not be real? Like
in the article, they mentioned that in the
future, singers may be virtual creations that
perform.
Jimmy: Exactly, like that Japan's pop star
Hatsune Miku
Alex: As a musician do you believe it will
work?
Jimmy: I am sure it is going to work based
on the case of Japan because it is a
technological creation. It is not going to get
tired, bored, it won't have to develop its
personal or romantic life, these virtual stars
are not going to travel for tours. They are
not going to be out of tune if they are not
programmed to. You know, there are some
stars around the world who are almost
perfect, perfect dancers, singers, models,
role models, but the level of demand the
enterprises have, makes them sometimes
have miserable lives until the point of
taking their lives.
Alex: You are right. It is definitely going to
take time until people get used to virtual
artists but it is going to happen one day, I
guess. And what do you think about what
the article said of music lasting more on
lists?
Jimmy: You mean that about the chance we
will have music on platforms and music
won't disappear so fast because people will
be able to listen to it as many times and as
long as they want to? I think that is already
happening. What I find ironic is that even
though a song may stay on the top of lists, it
is going to be very hard for artists to stay
famous for a long time.
Alex: You are right! to stay as celebrities,
people will have to do something amazing
very often because of the number of people
who can become stars every day by
creating and sharing content constantly.
Like you!
Jimmy: Exactly. The power of producing
music won't be reserved only for
professional millionaire producers and
thanks to the media and the internet, music
in different languages will reach the
audiences on the other side of the world.
Alex: The future of music is something I
definitely don't want to miss.

Kathy: Danna ... do you know what you will
study after high school?
Danna: Yes, I know already what I am
going to study. Actually, since we are in our
last year. I have already downloaded the
document about the process, so I can know
when the process will start and what to do.
How about you?
Kathy: I haven't got a clue. I think I will ... I
think I will study medicine. I really don't
know. How does it work? Can I study
medicine wherever I want?
Danna: So, I read about the number of
quotas there are, and they correspond to
the number of students each institution can
have in their first semester classes. That is
if you want to study medicine at Central
University you need to have a really good
grade. However, if you apply to study in a
smaller institution, you won't need such a
high score. Anyways, I believe there will be
a lot of students who want to study
medicine. Do you have any other option or
is the medicine your definite choice?
Kathy: No, I could also study something
like tourism. I think that is an amazing
career because then I would be able to
travel a lot and get to know people from all
over the world.
Danna: Ok, well I know there aren't as
many students who want to study tourism,
so you can actually apply with a lower
score and you may still get into the best
institution. Moreover, there may be some
institutions where there may be almost no
students applying for a career so with any
grade you could study those careers. Of
course, you must be careful not to apply to
a very small institution for a career that has
few students because universities and
technological institutes determine the
minimum number of students to open a
career. Therefore, if there were very few,
the institution could close the career and
you would have to wait another year.
Kathy Yes, I will be careful. Oh my god!
Ok, at least I still have this year to decide.
What about you? You said that you know
what you will study already. What are you
going to study?
Danna: I am going to study architecture. I
will study hard this year and especially for
the final exams. I downloaded a model of
the exam and I am going to practice every
day.
Kathy: That’s awesome. See you tomorrow
in class and you can tell me more about it
there, please.

Narrator: Listen to an audio about a family
that is planning their next vacation. Pay
attention to the forms of the future and the
modal verbs they use.
Assistant: Welcome to LDL, the travel
agency, how can I help you?
Father: Good afternoon, Miss. Yes. My
wife, my son and I want to go on vacation
but we have not yet decided where to go yet.
Mother: Could you give us information
about the trips they offer?
Assistant: Of course. Please, sit down. Do
you have any specific budget?
Mother: We can spend an average of 3000
per person.
Assistant: That is more than enough. I am
going to ask you some questions to decide
which place would be ideal for you.
Father: Of course, please do.
Assistant: Do you prefer hot or cold
weather?
Kid: Summer!
Assistant: Do you prefer the beach or the
mountain?
Mother: Anyone is fine as long as they have
room to play and a beautiful view.
Assistant: Then they want a place with
possibilities for activities, right?
Father: True we want to walk, observe,
navigate and any activity. We don't just
want to spend in a hotel in front of a TV or
sitting on a tourist bus. We like to discover
the place a bit on our own.
Assistant: perfect, I think the place for this
is Maui.
Family: Maui? Where is that?
Assistant: Maui is the most beautiful beach
in the United States, it is in Hawaii
Kid: Oh no! Will we will have to spend the
whole day sitting on the sand, tanning and
doing nothing? That is so boring!
Assistant: Not at all. This is the best in
Maui. I promise, once you get in, you will
have so many activities to do that time will
not be enough to get bored.
Father: sounds exciting. So what will we be
doing there?
Assistant: First, you can choose if someone
will come and pick you up and speed up to
check-in at the hotel. Or you can rent a car
and drive 55 miles from Kahului, where the
airport is. The road to Hana is a
fascinating route with hairpin turns and
the drive has some astonishing views of the
island, the beach and the flora and fauna of
the place.
Father: We will definitely drive.
Assistant: Another activity that you will
love is that you will hike and get on the
Haleakala volcano and look around to find
perfect photo spots.
Mother: Isn't that dangerous?
Assistant: No, it is dormant. However, if
you prefer to stay away from it, you will or
fly above it on a helicopter tour. When you
go by helicopter, you can see parts of the
island that you cannot go in any other way.
Assistant: Then you can soak up the sun on
one of the wonderful shorelines or you can
practice a little bit of golf at one of the
almost 15 courses on the island.
Mother: I enjoy resting at the beach, but
they don't. What can we do?
Assistant: You can rest and lay at
Kaanapali Beach, while they can surf and
sunbathe. However, even when it is smaller,
Napili Beach is really loved by families,
because the waters are much calmer. There
you will be able to swim, paddleboard and
boogie-board.
Kid: Awesome!
Father: I really like the plan, will we be
able to see something else than the beach?
Assistant: I was just going to tell you about
the Haleakala National Park, that is where
the world's largest dormant volcano is
located. The mountain Haleakala's is
higher than 10,000 feet above sea level. If
you go in the morning you will see a
beautiful sunrise. So, what do you think?
Will you set out on this adventure?
Family: Yes!
Mother: We love it and when it fits our
budget. We will definitely go.
Assistant: Do not worry the package will
cover all expenses.
Father: Fantastic! We will go straight to
Maui then.
