WELL DONE GENTLEMEN!

You deserve a round of applause for a job well done. Your responses showed a lot of thought and creativity. Stay tuned for Task 2.

Mr. Dias hints . . .

When I look into the future
There are clouds dressed in black
There is water made of oil
There is smoke in polluted air
But there are no trees, no blue . . . There's a nightmare

Mr. D. Ferreira informs . . .

When I look into the future
There are pumps
There are people
There are people operating the pumps
But there isn't much water

Mr. P. Ferreira says . . .

When I look into the future
There are too many people
There is too much confusion
There are too many nations
But there isn't any world order

Mr. Gregorio imagines . . .

When I look into the future
There is a past behind me
There is a life before me
There is someone waiting for me
But there isn't a smile to comfort me

Mr. Henriques comments . . .

When I look into the future
There are skins
There are bones
There are beings
But there aren't humans

Mr. Martins reports . . .

When I look into the future
There is high speed internet
There are 4G cell phones
There are teleporting machines
But there isn't any "real" connection

Mr. Martinho suggests . . .

When I look into the future
There is a more tolerant society and less complexes

There is a bigger need and urgency in fixing environmental problems (as they only do when it starts to affect them)

There are more openminded people and the world will be even more a global village.
There are advances in genetics and people will live longer which will generate over-population problems in some places, people will be able to work longer and in the far future when genetic mutations in humans will be less of a moral issue, it will be used for aesthetic purposes.
But there aren't any things quite like the things people used to have back in the good old days.

Mr. Moura offers . . .

When I look into the future
There is much technology
There are rich and powerful people
There are all the things we've every deamed about
But there still isn't any hope for the weak

Mr. Neto writes . . .

When I look into the future
There is a war
There are battles
There is a fight for water
But there are no friendships between countries, only alliances.

Mr. Pola insists . . .

When I look into the future,
There are no boundaries,
There are no nations,
There are no ends,
And there aren't any limitations

Mr. Vigario responds . . .

When I look into the future
There is blood in the streets
there are bodies all around
there are orphans every where
But there aren't any weapons

GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES . . .

TASK 1 - POETRY

In our first task, we will take a look at the future. . .

Follow the model:
When I look into the future
There is/are . . .
There is/are . . .
There is/are . . .
But there isn't/aren't any . . .

Example 1:
When I look into the future
There are robots
There are aliens
There are saucers in the sky
But there aren't any birds.

Example 2:
When I look into the future
There's a memory stick in my head
There's a tracking device under my feet
There's a monitor behind my eyes
But there isn't a computer

You get the idea. Now it's your turn. Have fun!!!!!!!!!

Pleased to meet you . . .

Introductions are in order:

"Hello, my name is . . ."
