The world of tomorrow
Activity 1 Lead-in
Have you ever wondered to have the ability of time travel If so, what do you want to do
Time travel could result in a paradox – an event that contradicts itself. For example, if a person travelled back in time and prevented an event, that event would never have happened; there would therefore be no reason for the person to travel back in time to prevent it.
Activity 2 Listening
Listen to the conversation and choose its main idea. (P55 Ex5)
1. Time travel is dangerous.
2. Talking to people in the past can change the future.
3. Anything you say or do in the past can affect the future.
4. Time travel within your own lifetime should be avoided.
Activity 2 Listening

Guide: Welcome aboard,time travellers! We'll begin our tour shortly.
Today's tour will take you back in time 50 years. For some of you, this tour will take you back to the days of your childhood.
[Tourists exclaim, “Amazing!” “Wow!” “I can't wait to see my great grandpa!” before quietening down.]
Guide: Before we start our tour, I have to explain the rules of time travel. Please listen carefully. Number 1, don't talk to anybody.
Tourist 1: Why not I'm going to tell my 8-year-old self to buy shares in companies that are profitable today. That way, when I get back to the present, I'll be rich!
Guide: I'm afraid you cannot do that! If you do that, you'll change your life path. Maybe you will grow up to be a rich person. But that rich person will be a new person, not the person you are today. That person, the present “you” will disappear forever. That's what we call a paradox.
Tourist 1: So, what you're saying is that learning about the future might change the way I am forever The “me” that I am now could no longer exist !
Guide: Exactly. OK, next, be careful not to break anything. Breaking something can also cause a paradox and change your path through life.
Tourist 1: OK, I'll remember that.
Tapescripts
Tourist 2: How about if I just give my father a present The latest model of a smartphone or something. He was just a 13-year-old boy back then. Imagine how excited he'll be!
Guide: Absolutely not! Anything that doesn't belong to that time may have an impact on someone and cause a paradox. Just think about if you change the life path of your father,maybe you'll never be born. In fact, that's what I was going to say next—you must never give anything from our time to someone in the past.
Tourist 2: What about if I just leave it lying around for my father to find That's OK, isn't it
Guide: No, that's not allowed, either!
Tourist 2: Are you serious
Guide: I certainly am! That is exactly the same as giving it yourself. I would strongly advise against interacting with anyone.
Tourist 2: Let me get this straight. You mean that we can't talk to anyone, can't break anything, or leave anything in the past
Guide: That's right.
Tourist 2: OK, got it. It'll be exciting enough to see the people in the past.
Tourist 1: I can't wait to see my great grandpa!
Guide: OK, so... [ fade out]

Activity 3 Reading&Vocabulary building
Read the passage and put the expressions in bold into the boxes.(Ex8)
Besides time travel, we have much to look forward to in the future, thanks to advances in technology. One area that is likely to change dramatically within our lifetimes is medical care. Although I wouldn’t bank on patients feeling confident about seeing a robot doctor any time soon, I’m sure that AI doctors are on the horizon. I think it’s also fair to say that we can get our hopes up when it comes to finding cures for serious diseases, such as cancer. I reckon that nanorobots that can eliminate cancerous cells are just around the corner. Some of these ideas may sound far ahead of their time, but I’m sure they’re bound to happen sooner or later!
