Step 1
Organise your ideas with the chart below.
Opening
In general, will life be more digital in 50 years' time
Yes, I think so. I think digital technology will change many aspects of our lives in the future.
E.g.
Body
How digital will... be
We will live in a smart home in the future. We can use smart devices to control everything at home.
Students will learn through VR, which will make learning more fun.
More work will be done online.
People will work at home.
Ending
Will this change be good or bad for people in the future
I think this change is good because digital technology will make life easier.
I think this change is bad because people will spend too much time on screen.
Step 2
Write your passage with the help of the chart.
In general, people’s life will be more digital in 50 years. Technology will change many parts of our daily lives.
First, homes will be very digital. People will use smart devices to control lights, fridge, and even cooking. Robots might help with cleaning and other chores.
Second, schools will also change. Students might use virtual reality (VR) to learn in a fun way. They can visit places around the world without leaving their classroom.
Third, work will be different too. More work will be done online, and people might work from home more often.
In my opinion, this change will be both good and bad. It will make life easier and more fun. But it might also make people spend too much time on screens and less time with family and friends.
Step 3
Check. Did you:
describe some parts of digital life in the future
use the words from the reading passage
give your opinion about digital life in the future
Step 4
Share your passage with the class.
