Step 1 Greeting and Lead - in (5 minutes)
The teacher warmly greets the students and has a simple daily conversation, such
as "How was your weekend? What interesting things did you do?" to create a
relaxed classroom atmosphere.
Show some science - fiction pictures or short videos about future life, such as
future cities, transportation, robots, etc. Guide the students to observe and ask
questions like "What can you see in these pictures/videos? What do you think our
life will be like in the future?" Encourage the students to express their
imaginations in simple English to lead in the theme of this lesson - making
predictions about the future.
Step 2 Vocabulary Learning (8 minutes)
Use the PPT to display the vocabulary in 1a one by one, such as "prediction",
"less", "outer space", "climate change", "AI", "robots", etc. Lead the students to
read the words and correct their pronunciations. Help the students understand
the meanings of the words by showing relevant pictures, animations, or short
video clips. For example, play a video about the impact of climate change to
explain "climate change", and show pictures of robots working to explain "robots".
Distribute word cards. Let the students work in pairs. One student shows the card,
and the other reads the word and says its meaning. Then they switch roles. The
teacher walks around the groups to check the students' practice and give timely
guidance and help.
Play a vocabulary game called "Word Chain". The teacher says a word, such as
"prediction". The students take turns to say a new word starting with the last letter
of the previous word, like "outer space", "climate change", etc. Through this game,
stimulate the students' learning interest and deepen their memory of the
vocabulary.
Step 3 Listening Practice (10 minutes)

to some conversations. Please listen carefully and circle the predictions you hear
in 1b." Play the recording of 1b, and the students listen and complete the task.
After playing the recording, invite the students to share their answers. The teacher
checks the answers and gives a simple explanation of the listening content to help
the students understand the key information in the listening material.
Play the recording of 1b again. Let the students listen and complete the task in 1c,
judging the sentences as true or false. After playing, invite the students to share
their answers, check and explain the answers to help the students understand the
listening content. When explaining the answers, the listening text can be

good care of the earth." Guide the students to observe the pictures and use the
learned vocabulary and the simple future tense to discuss and communicate
about the predictions in 1a.
Let the students work in pairs. They choose one of the predictions and have a
conversation practice, expressing their views and reasons to each other. The
teacher walks around the groups, encourages the students to speak actively, and
corrects their grammar mistakes and pronunciation problems in time.
Invite several pairs of students to show their conversations. The other students
listen carefully and give evaluations. The evaluation content includes the accuracy
of vocabulary usage, the correctness of sentence patterns, and the fluency of
expression. The teacher summarizes and gives feedback on the students'
performance, gives affirmation and encouragement, and also puts forward
suggestions for improvement.

and read aloud. The teacher corrects and guides them to help the students master
the correct pronunciation skills.
