 Fun Ways to Look at Your Future
1. Look at the pictures on the right. What are four methods people use to predict the future?
2. Read the article and write the number (1-5) of the method next to each picture. One is extra.
3. Look at the highlighted structures. What tense is it: present, past or future?
Do you want to know your future? Some people believe we can see our future in different ways. Let's learn about five fun ways to do it!
1. Crystal Balls - A Glass to Tomorrow!
A crystal ball is like a window into tomorrow. People use it to see the future. They sit quietly and look into the ball. First you need to think about
a question or problem. Will you find a lot of money soon? Will you meet a new friend next month? They will see pictures or signs in the ball. But
remember, what they see might not always happen!
2. Tarot Cards - Pictures That Show the Future
Tarot cards are very special. Each card has a different picture. These pictures can mean many things. You can ask a question, then choose a card.
The card you choose will help you understand your future. You might get an answer to your question. But, the cards don't always tell us the
truth about the future. They just give ideas.
3. Palm Reading - Your Life is in Your Hands
Did you know your hands can tell a story? Some people believe our hands show our future. They look at the lines and shapes on our palms.
These can tell us about our love life, our work, or our health. Some people believe that palm reading can't really predict what will happen.
Maybe they will be right, maybe they won't.
4. Reading Signs - Smoke and Coffee Cup Stories
There are people who believe they can see signs in the smoke of a candle or the bottom of a coffee cup. They look at the shapes these make.
They think these shapes can tell us about the future. But maybe this is just a fun way to think about what might happen. We can't know for sure
if it's true.
5. Surprise! - Not Trying to Predict at All
The last way is simple. You don't need to do anything! Some people think it's best to wait for the future. The future will come, and it will be full
of surprises!
