Activity A “Future Issues”. Read an interview transcript and write your agreeing or disagreeing opinion in a blog entry according to
what Dr Claus predicts. Use be + going to and use future expressions to make your predictions. Write between 150 and 200 words.

FUTURE ISSUES INTERVIEW YOUR BLOG OPINIONS

Interviewer: Many people are worried about the

future; this is an interview with Dr Claus, a Going to the future
futurist.

Doctor Claus, you are an expert on technology,

what do you think is going to happen with
transportation in the next 10 years?
Dr Claus: Well, I think that in this decade there are going to be flying
cars everywhere. Current cars are not going to be enough.
Interviewer: What about air travel, though?
Dr Claus: Well, helicopters are going to be quite cheap; it is going to
be like the new car of tomorrow.
I think that in the future there will be less employment for
people, since robots will be in charge of carrying out the
daily activities that we humans carry out.
I also believe that the technologies will have a quite
significant advance and that although it affects some, it will
benefit others

Interviewer: That sounds great, what other advances shall we expect?

Dr Claus: Well, I think that in a few years there are going to be

intelligent robots that are going to do all the house chores. Also,
innovative technologies will appear soon to reduce global warming.

Interviewer: Thank you Doctor Claus, it has been quite interesting for
all the audience. We hope to have you here again next week.

Dr Claus: Thank you, of course, it would be a pleasure.
