Fuente: SENA

Imagine that in 10 years your city / town will be perfect. What will it be like? Think
about the problems your city has now and how they can be solved for it to be
perfect in 10 years.

Write a description of your city in 10 years. Use will and the vocabulary learned in
this learning activity. Highlight will-sentences with green and vocabulary words
with blue. Remember to use connectors and punctuation.

Take a look at the example below to help you get started.

 "I think my city will be better in 10 years. Probably there will not be traffic jams
anymore. Also public transportation will be clean, efficient and organized. For
this to happen, the roads will have to be in perfect conditions.

After solving social problems and creating better job opportunities, it will be the
safest city in the world. In addition, we will have the best museums and art
galleries. Besides, there will be a lot of green areas and parks to enjoy. We will
have the best football team, not like the one we have now which performs
poorly. I believe people will be friendly. And finally, the most important aspect
will be to have more public universities, so everybody will have the chance to
study.

It will be as nice as a European city, but a lot more enjoyable and vibrant
though.”

Description:

“I´m pretty sure the city where i live will improve in 10 years. The previous
mayor of Bogota (Peñalosa) unveiled the design of the stations of the first
Metro Line in Bogota, and it seems to be perfect and it will solve the problem of
people mobilization and traffic jam. We all will move in a fast, safe and efficent
public transportation, where all citizens will be comfortable.

I think the new Mayor will be working on air pollution by raising awareness
about recycling and waste separation. Poor people will have more access to
education and job opportunities, so people will be polite and will have civic
culture. Scientists will discover the cure for cancer and other diseases so
people will enjoy a long and happy life.

It will be a perfect city for everyone to live.”
