2. Underline the flowing words and phrases in the text. Match each of them with its explanation.

Have Ss do the task individually. Then Ss can check their answers in pairs. Elicit the answers from Ss.

3. Answers the questions.

Ask Ss to read the passages again and answer the questions. Ss can ask and answer in pairs. T corrects the answers as a class. If time allows, have Ss show where they found the answers.

Post-reading(15’)

Speaking

Set up the SPEAKING stage by getting Ss to think about the pros and cons of advancement in science and technology. Explain that nothing is ‘black and white’; there are always advantages and disadvantages. For example, say:

More and more robots will be invented and used in the future. One of the advantages of this is that robots will be able to do dirty or dangerous jobs that humans don’t want to do. At the same time, there are disadvantages - robots will replace people in some areas so there will be unemployment.

4.Think about your ideas about scientific advances in these fields. Look at the example and make notes.

Encourage Ss to think of as many ideas as possible. Move around to give some cues and observe.

5. Work in groups. Express your agreement and disagreement about how scientific advances can help us solve problems in the future.

Divide the class into groups of five or six. Each group talks about one of the fields in 4. Tell Ss to read the example before they start. Encourage them to use the phrase give in the Look out! box. While Ss are talking, T goes around to give assistance if necessary.

If time allows, have Ss summarise their group’s ideas and present to the class.

Audio script:

Nick: Hey, Duong and Chau, do you remember Dr. Nelson’s talk on science and technology?

Chau: Yes. He said that science and technology would help us solve the world’s problems in the future.

Nick: Right. I think world hunger is a problem now, and developing ways to ge high yields in farming will help feed the growing population on earth.

Duong: Good point. Also we may be able to live on other planets, so overcrowding won’t be a problem any more ...

Nick: And I like the idea of having lessons at home with a robot, and on the internet.

Duong: And no more paper books. We’ll have e-books, and tablets for everything.

Chau: That doesn’t sound like a benefit to me. I’d still want to go to school. I’d like to communicate face-to-face with teachers and friends. In my opinion, science and technology will bring new problems to people.

Duong: Like what?

Chau: Well, robots will bring unemployment, and high yields in farming may destroy the environment and sending people to Mars may cause pollution ...

Nick: You’re right. So many new problems ...
