Next we made some 'going to' predictions based on evidence that we heard and saw. Some predictions you made were...

She said that man is handsome: She is going to chat with him

He said he has a headache: He is going to take some painkillers

There is a bottle of wine and a bottle of whiskey on the table: They are going to get drunk.

That girl is staring at my boyfriend: There is going to be an argument!

After the break we used 'going to' to make political manifestos which you then presented to the class. Well done to the Young Dublin Party, The Republic of the Left and The Power Party. You guys had some great ideas (and some really funny ones too...you know what I mean Power Party!!)

Here is a copy of the worksheet I gave you in case you missed class.

Don't forget your photography homework! Make some funny predictions in Dicey's tonight!

See you tomorrow.
