Vocabulary List

Grammar Rules

Future with (be) + going to + base verb is used for:

• Future plans: We are going to buy a car next month. He is going to have a party next week.
• Future intentions: I am going to watch a movie tonight.
• Predictions with evidence: Look at the clouds! It's going to rain. Forms: I am going to..., he/she/it is going to..., we/you/they are going to.... Negative: They are not going to do their homework. Question: Are you going to play football? Correct mistakes such as "He going to watch" (He is going to watch), "I am going visit" (I am going to visit), "We is going" (We are going). Collocations are words that often go together: verb + noun (score goals, have a job, match talent, build a machine) and adjective + noun (digital life, critical thinking). Examples: I want to study hard so that I can have a good job; He chose painting because it matches his talent; a job that makes me happy. Apostrophe ('): shows possession (Noha's book; the teachers' room for plural nouns ending in s) and makes contractions (I'm = I am, he's = he is, don't = do not).

Reading and Listening

Discover Your Future! An advertisement for Future Career Path, which helps people find their ambition and develop skills. Its purpose is to encourage readers to join a career workshop; professions mentioned include doctors, designers and teachers. "Path" means a way to your dream or future, and the opposite of fail is succeed. Message: your dream profession will become reality if you start planning today. An Interview with a Scientist: Malek's dream job and goals; talent is a natural skill, effort is trying hard. Dr. Farouq El-Baz, an Egyptian scientist who studied the Earth and the Moon and helped astronauts, teaches us to follow our dreams. My Plan for a Future Career (Omar, 11 years old): wants to become a doctor because he loves helping people. He will go to university to study medicine and get training in hospitals to learn how to look after patients. His biggest dream is to help people feel better and make them smile. He believes that if he studies well and practices a lot, he will become a good doctor. Story Time, Chapter Two (The Dream Team): the Water-Saving Machine works but not perfectly; some members feel discouraged. Sara reminds them their purpose is to help people, not just to win; Omar says their aspiration is to save water for their village; Lily, who was shy before, finds her voice and says they can make it better by testing again. When Karim makes a mistake, nobody blames him; they help him fix it. The machine uses rainwater to water plants and clean small pathways. The team is proud of the machine and of their friendship.

Language Skills and Functions

Writing a review: describe what you are writing about, write the good and bad sides, and write what you think of it.

Use going to: I am going to study engineering. I'm going to learn how to design buildings. Dialog: Ali and Sara ask each other, "What are you going to be in the future?" and "How are you going to achieve your goal?"
