T gives Ss some handouts and pieces of paper and asks them to match the new words with their definitions. Then Ss read their answers and T checks the problems.
T divide Ss into 2 groups and gives each S a picture and some pieces of text. Ss need to talk in their groups and read texts and find the one that is related to their own picture.

T asks Ss to complete tasks 4 & 5 in pairs. Then Ss read their answers and T checks them.
T asks Ss to make 3 predictions about 50 years later (elicits some ideas from Ss and writes on the board). T asks Ss to talk about and explain their ideas to a partner
