We use the verb hope when we have a good reason to think that something might happen.
We use hope + to + infinitive to talk about things we want to do.
We can use the phrase ‘I hope I get to.....’ when we talk about something we hope we
have the chance to do.
I hope I get to swim with dolphins. That would make me very happy!
We use the verb wish when we talk about things that we don’t expect to happen.
We use wish with could + infinitive to talk about things that we want to be different in
the present or future.
When we use could, (the past simple of can), we talk about ability or possibility.

BUCKET LISTS
Key
1. Warm-up
Encourage a short discussion. A bucket list is a list of things that someone would like to do before they die.
Students may be interested to know that the term comes from the phrase ’to kick the bucket’ which means ’to
die’.
Positive and negative replies table answers: Positive responses: Don’t let that stop you! / I’m sure you will! / That
would be amazing! Negative responses: I think that might be too dangerous for me. / That’s not really my thing.
/ I wouldn’t do that.

Give students 3 minutes to write down six bucket list items, and tell them not to show anyone. After they have
finished writing, explain how the game works. The game is played as a class. One student should read their
answers. If someone has the same item on their list, they don’t get a point for that item. If no one has it, they get
one point. Make sure that each student gets to read all the items on their list. It is important to explain the rules
after students have written down their bucket list items, as they may write something that isn’t really on their
bucket list, so that they can win the game. When the game is finished, ask students how many points they have.
As an extra activity, the class can discuss some of the bucket list items.
