Comprehensive Summary:
Throughout this module, we’ve explored the following key concepts:
- Zero Conditional:
This structure is used for expressing general truths and cause-and-effect relationships that are always true.
It consists of “if” + present simple, followed by present simple.
For example: “If you heat water to 100°C, it boils.”
- First Conditional:
The First Conditional is employed to talk about possible future events or real possibilities.
It follows the pattern “if” + present simple, followed by future simple (will + base verb).
For instance: “If it rains tomorrow, we will stay indoors.”
- Expressing Wishes:
We’ve learned how to use “I wish” and “If only” to express desires, regrets, and unreal situations. “I wish” is followed by past simple or past continuous to talk about present regrets, while “If only” is followed by past perfect to express past regrets.
For example: “I wish I had more time” or “If only I had known.”
By mastering these concepts, you’ve gained a solid understanding of conditionals and the ways to express wishes. These tools will enhance your communication skills and enable you to express various types of situations accurately and effectively. Well done!
Simplified Examples and Summary:
- Zero Conditional: For general truths and cause-and-effect.
- First Conditional: For possible future events and real possibilities.
- Expressing wishes: Using “I wish” and “If only” for desires and regrets.
4. Pre-Reading Activity: Guess the Mystery
Before reading the story, let’s warm up by guessing what might be inside the mysterious box. Look at the picture below and think about what magical or mysterious item the box could hold. Write down your guess and a sentence explaining why you think so.
Reading Comprehension Exercise: The Mysterious Box
Once upon a time in a small village, there was a mysterious box that sat on the shelf of an old curiosity shop. The box was small, made of polished wood, and had intricate carvings on its surface. The villagers believed that the box held magical powers and that it could grant wishes to anyone who solved its riddle. One day, a curious young girl named Maya decided to take on the challenge.
She entered the shop, her heart racing with excitement. The shopkeeper, an old man with kind eyes, handed her the box and said, “To open the box, you must answer this riddle: ‘I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind.’ What am I?”
Maya thought for a moment. She remembered reading about the wind and its whispers. A smile spread across her face as she realized the answer. She whispered, “An echo.” The old man’s eyes twinkled with delight as Maya’s answer was correct. He opened the box, revealing a shimmering light inside. “For solving the riddle, you may make one wish,” he said.
Maya thought deeply about her wish. She wished for happiness and prosperity for her village. As soon as she made her wish, a warm breeze swept through the shop, carrying with it a sense of joy and hope.
From that day on, Maya’s village flourished. The fields were greener, the people were kinder, and the mysterious box became a symbol of the power of knowledge and kindness.
