REAL-LIFE APPLICATION

This topic helps students discuss what may be happening at specific points in the future in science, health, and medical technology. They learn to describe projected actions, future professional routines, patient care scenarios, and health trends using clear time references. This is useful for presentations, interviews, innovation projects, science discussions, career exploration, and academic conversations about the future of healthcare.

Part 2 – Future Clinic Walkthrough (50 min)

Students present a walkthrough of their future clinic prototype. This is a guided simulation, not a normal presentation. One student acts as the guide, one acts as the patient, one explains the technology, and one explains a possible concern.

Presentation requirements:

1. one specific future time
2. three Future Continuous sentences
3. three health or innovation vocabulary words
4. one benefit
5. one concern
6. one audience question

Examples:

Audience questions:
