FUTURE AND CONTINUOUS TENSE

The 3rd Session of Intermediate English Grammar  

Instructional Design:

Students could differentiate between the future and continuous tenses theoretically and practically. Therefore, The students have to understand the formulas, the examples, and the uses of the tenses. Finally, they could practice them in their real life context either spoken or written.

Method: 

Teacher uses Communicative approach by using her you tube channel and Task-based approach by asking student do the exercises in a handbook entitled English Grammar in Use Fifth Edition by Raymond Murphy related to recent topic.

Description: 

This topic consists of the formulas, the examples of future and continuous tenses, and their comparison theoretically and practically.  Therefore, the topic helps students to state their ideas about their next actions or events before and after 'now' thoroughly either in spoken and written communication. The most differences between the future and continuous tenses are in the use of verbs and in time allocation. The future tense refers to the actions or events being done in a time later than now and has 'will/shall' + V1 (basic verb) as its verb. Meanwhile, the Continuous tense informs actions or events in a time before now or they are still ongoing and use 'tobe (am, is, are or was, were)' + Ving as its verb. To learn more about their differences in the area of the tenses' formulas, functions, uses, and examples, you could see the table of differences of future and continuous in area of patterns, functions, uses, and examples.

    "The role social media plays in mental health"
    Human beings are social creatures. We need the companionship of others to thrive in life, and the strength of our connections has a huge impact on our mental health and happiness. Being socially connected to others can ease stress, anxiety, and depression, boost self-worth, provide comfort and joy, prevent loneliness, and even add years to your life. On the flip side, lacking strong social connections can pose a serious risk to your mental and emotional health.

    In today’s world, many of us rely on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube, and Instagram to find and connect with each other. While each has its benefits, it’s important to remember that social media can never be a replacement for real-world human connection. It requires in-person contact with others to trigger the hormones that alleviate stress and make you feel happier, healthier, and more positive. Ironically for a technology that’s designed to bring people closer together, spending too much time engaging with social media can actually make you feel more lonely and isolated—and exacerbate mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.

    If you’re spending an excessive amount of time on social media and feelings of sadness, dissatisfaction, frustration, or loneliness are impacting your life, it may be time to re-examine your online habits and find a healthier balance.

    2. Paraphrased writing (my version)
    "The role social media plays in mental health"

    As the social creatures, actually we need the role and connection with others in our life. Because, if we can strength our connections, probably it has a positive impact for our mental health and happiness. Being socially connected with others can decrease the anxiety, stress, and depression, improve self-exercise, make us more comfortable and joy, avoid loneliness, and even prolong your age. On the other hand, the lack of social connections can cause a serious risk to your mental and emosional health.

    In this era, we can't separate our selves from media social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and etc to get the relationship with others. Social media has a lot of benefits, and it's important to remember that social media can never be a substitute the real human-life. It needs in-person contact with others to trigger the hormones that alleviate stress and make you feel happier, healthier, and more positive. Ironically for a technology that's designed to make the people closed and spending a lot of time engaging with social media actually make you feel lonely and separate d or unconnected. And exacerbate mental health problems( make it worse than before) such as anxiety and depression.

    If you're spending an exaggerate amount of time on social media and feeling of sadness, dissatifaction, frustation, and loneliness are bringing a bad impact for your life, it maybe time to re-examine your online habits and do something normally in order to you can found the happiness and make your life more balance.
