Report the survey to the class
Hi, guys! I’m Teo and I have done the survey about houses in the future with Nam. The results are as follows:
Nam will live in a hi-tech house. It will be by the sea. There will be a lot of trees and flowers around his house. There will be a modern fridge that can cook his meals. He will have a robot to look after his children and some other robots to help him with the housework. He will have a super car to travel in space, too. I think it will be a fantastic house to live in.
Yes, through the lesson we can use ‘might’ and ‘will’ to talk about things we could do in the future; we can also talk about houses and appliances we might have in the future.
