FUTURE INTENTIONS

From the different ways of expressing future in English, WILL to express something you
want to do voluntarily or to communicate a decision you made at the moment of speaking,
TO BE GOING TO in order to express future plans, and THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS OR
PROGRESSIVE to express future arrangements, three verb patterns that work with verb
infinitives are used to express future: ‘going to’, ‘hoping to’ and ‘would like to’. Go to

answer the quiz questions at the end.

5. READING COMPREHENSION. After you read the text, give it a title and subtitles to
the different paragraphs and answer the TRUE or FALSE questions at the end.

TITLE: _________________________________________
SUBTITLE: _____________________________________
Coronaviruses were discovered in the 1960s. They are a group of
viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans,
coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that are typically
mild, such as the common cold. The name "coronavirus" is derived
from the Latin corona, meaning crown or halo. The name refers to
the characteristic appearance of the infective form of the virus,
which is reminiscent of a crown or a solar corona.

SUBTITLE: ___________________________________________________
At the end of 2019, a new type of coronavirus started spreading in China. This type of
coronavirus is often called 2019-nCoV, novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. It is believed
that the virus was transmitted from animals to humans. Some of the first cases were
diagnosed in people who had visited a market selling live seafood and animals.
Unfortunately, when viruses are transmitted from animals to people, it can take
scientists a lot of time before they can develop a vaccine or medicines to cure it.

SUBTITLE: ___________________________________________________
Some of the symptoms of the coronavirus are fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat,
headache, and trouble breathing. These symptoms are very much like those people have
with a cold or the flu. The virus can be more serious in some people, especially if they
are sick or have health problems.

While it is early to have a definite picture of the disease because scientists are still
collecting the data, some patterns have already emerged. Some early reports reveal
that children seem to be getting coronavirus at much lower rates than adults. Even if
they get infected, the symptoms are milder. However, most people who get severely
infected are those with a weak immune system, like the elderly. Coronavirus may be
life-threatening for these people. They may develop more serious respiratory tract
illnesses that may be fatal.

SUBTITLE: ___________________________________________________
The virus appears to spread mainly from person to person. The transmission occurs
when someone comes into contact with an infected person. For example, a cough,
sneeze or handshake could cause transmission. The spread may also be caused by
coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching
your mouth, nose or eyes.

SUBTITLE: ____________________________________________________
There is no specific vaccine or medication to cure the disease, but generally, symptoms
will go away on their own. However, experts recommend seeking medical care early if
symptoms feel worse than a standard cold. Doctors can relieve symptoms by prescribing
pain or fever medication. As far as antibiotics are concerned, they are useless to treat
coronavirus

People who think they may have been exposed to the virus should contact their
healthcare provider immediately. A set of preventive measures are usually followed in
case someone gets infected. This includes keeping infected people in quarantine for a
certain period, generally fourteen days.

SUBTITLE: ____________________________________________________
To protect yourself from the virus, here are six recommendations to follow:
▪ Avoid contact with people who are already infected.
▪ Wash your hands well and regularly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or
use hand sanitizer.
▪ Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth if you haven't washed your hands.
▪ Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that people touch a lot.
▪ Stay home when you are sick.
▪ Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
