1 Future predictions

Instructions: Read these 5 predictions about technology in the future and respond by indicating if you
think the prediction is likely or unlikely to happen (true or false). Write 50-75 words for each
prediction using the future form ‘will+ verb’ or ‘won´t+ verb’ to give your opinion.
Instrucciones: lee estas 5 predicciones sobre tecnología futurística y responde indicando si tú piensas que la predicción es
probable o improbable que pase (verdadero o falso). Escribe un mínimo de 50 palabras y máximo de 75 para cada
predicción usando la forma futura ‘will + verb’ o ‘won´t + verb’ para dar tu opinión.

Example

Prediction: In 2070 most university courses will be available online.

Predicción: en 2070, la mayoría de los cursos universitarios estarán disponibles en línea.

Answer: I think this prediction will happen because people will want to
combine their work with their studies. Studying in person at a university won´t
be very convenient for the student or cost effective for the institution. I think
even important universities like the UNAM or UDG will move most of their
programs to online platforms.
Respuesta: creo que esta predicción sucederá porque las personas querrán combinar su
trabajo con sus estudios. Estudiar en persona en una universidad no será muy conveniente
para el estudiante ni rentable para la institución. Creo que incluso universidades importantes
como la UNAM o UDG moverán la mayoría de sus programas a plataformas en línea.

PREDICTIONS
Basic computer skills will be taught in
primary schools to very young children.
Computer studies will be an obligatory
1 subject in all levels of education and the
vast majority of jobs will require high
levels of computer literacy.
ANSWERS
I believe that this prediction is 100% will happen
because the world has been in a process for several
years in which technology has entered almost all
aspects of our lives and I am sure that it will continue
like this until technology becomes completely part of us
and we can no longer separate from her.

2 My plans after graduation

Instructions: In this part, you are going to write a short paragraph of 150-200 words about your plans
and intentions for after you finish your studies with the UVEG. Don´t forget to use ‘I am going to +
verb’ or ‘I am not going to + verb’ to refer to your plans. You can use the questions below to guide
you.
Instrucciones: en esta parte, vas a escribir un breve párrafo de 150-200 palabras sobre tus planes e intenciones para
después de terminar sus estudios con la UVEG. No olvides usar ‘I am going to + verb’ or ‘I am not going to + verb’ para
referirte a tus planes. Puedes usar las siguientes preguntas para guiarte.

1 What are you going to do at the graduation ceremony?

2 How are you going to celebrate?
3 How are you going to apply what you learned in the course?
4 Where are you going to work?
5 What are you going to do next year in your personal life?
6 What aren't you going to do next year?
At my graduation ceremony I will enjoy the event and celebrate it with my girlfriend and close family
members, since they are the ones who have been by my side supporting me during the journey and
who have shown me that they will be with me in my decisions and future.

I am going to apply what I have learned by developing three projects that I have had in mind for some
time.

I will most likely go to work at Hp or Dextra tecnologys with my father, because during his work there
his superiors always offered me the opportunity to start with them when I finished my degree.

A year after I graduate, I will marry my girlfriend and start a new career in finance.

A year later, I will not be working in small places like I have in the last few years, where the sole purpose
is to abuse people as much as possible or at least I hope it becomes unlikely.
