A Political Party:" If we win the elections ..."

Thursday 30^th

Hi guys!

What will you do if you win the elections?

We created three political parties and presented our candidates. You made your speeches and, of course, you didn't forget to make promises.

My party “Hope For Youth”, didn’t get any votes! I promised that:

·         If we win the elections, we will reduce the car driving age to 15 and small motorbikes to 13.

·         If we win the elections, we will reduce the legal age for having tattoos to 13.

·         If we win the elections, we will give a free laptop computer to all students aged 13 and above.

·         If we win the elections, we will build more centres with skate parks.

What happened? Why didn’t you vote for me? Didn’t you believe my promises?

My competitors “Love and Peace” didn’t get many votes either. And the why did the winners win?

Was it because they promise to give you a credit card with a sum of money?

You shouldn’t be so materialistic! What about schools? Hospitals? Health care?

Yes. We worked on the first conditional.

We used if + present simple                                          will / won’t + infinitive

If it doesn’t rain on Saturday, we’ll go for a walk.

We won’t buy milk if there’s some in the cupboard.

You can begin with the “if” clause or not. When you begin with “if” you need to use a comma.

We continued talking about ability.

·         What are you good at?

·         What were you able to do when you were five?

·         What can you do now?

·         Will you be able to drive a car when you are 18?

·         Have you been able to find your pen?

And to finish the class, we talked about the best and the worst.

I must admit I’m getting old! I didn’t know who the best singers you mentioned were.

And, finally: our games!
