Hello everyone, and welcome back to Mr English Channel,

where learning English is easy and fun.

I'm Emily.

Hello everyone.

This is Paul, joining Emily today.

Hey Emily, how you doing?

Hi Paul.

I'm great, thank you.

A little bit excited, actually.

And you?

How are you feeling today?

Oh, I'm feeling good, Emily.

Really good.

The sun is shining, and we are here ready to talk about a super interesting topic.

What do you think our topic is today, Emily?

Hmm.

That's a good question, Paul.

Our topic today is – drum roll please – talking about your future.

Wow, that's a fantastic topic.

I love talking about the future.

It's always fun to think about what comes next, isn't it?

Yes, exactly.

It's all about hopes and dreams and plans.

And for our lovely listeners,

it's a great way to practice English.

So, before we start, a quick reminder to our amazing listeners.

Please like this video, share it with your friends.

And subscribe to Mr. English Channel.

It helps us a lot,

and we love having you here.

Yes, please do.

Your support means the world to us.

So, Emily, when you think about the future,

what's the first thing that comes to your mind?

Like, a small future plan?

Hmm.

A small future plan.

Well, tomorrow I plan to bake cookies.

Is that a good future plan?

That's a wonderful future plan, Emily.

I love cookies.

What kind of cookies?

Chocolate chip, of course.

The best kind.

What about you, Paul?

Any small future plans for tomorrow?

Let me see.

Tomorrow, I plan to water my plants.

They need some love.

And maybe, just maybe, I will go for a walk in the park.

Oh, that sounds lovely, Paul.

It's good to have small plans, isn't it?

They make the day better.

Absolutely.

They add a little bit of joy to the everyday.

So, we are talking about the future,

and we just talked about small,

simple plans, but what about bigger plans,

like for next year, or in five years?

That's where it gets really interesting.

When we talk about the future,

we often use some special words and phrases in English.

For example, we use will a lot.

Ah, yes, will.

Can you give us an example, Emily?

A simple one.

Of course.

For example, I will travel more next year.

Or, I will learn a new skill.

Simple, right?

Yes, very simple and clear.

So, for me, I will try to read more books next year.

I love reading, but sometimes I don't have enough time.

That's a great goal, Paul.

Reading is wonderful.

So, we use will for things we decide now or for predictions about the future.

What else do we use?

Well, we also use going to for future plans,

especially when we have already decided something.

For example, I am going to visit my family next month.

I bought the tickets already.

Oh, that's a perfect example, Paul.

So, going to is for plans we already made.

Like, I am going to start a new English course next month.

It's decided.

Yes, exactly.

So, will for general future actions or predictions,

and going to for plans you have decided.

It's simple, but sometimes people get confused.

Yes, but with practice it becomes easy.

So Paul, let's talk about some common future plans people have.

What are some things you often hear people say they will do or are going to do in the future?

Hmm.

Let me think.

Many people talk about traveling.

Like I will visit Italy someday.

Or I am going to go to the beach next summer.

Yes, travel is a big one.

Everyone loves to explore new places.

100

I hope I will visit Japan in the future.

101

That's a big dream of mine.

102

What about other common plans?

103

Another common one is about work or career.

104

People often say, I will get a new job,

105

or I am going to start my own business.

106

That's true.

107

Career goals are very important.

108

I hope I will keep learning new things for my job.

109

Learning is endless.

110

Definitely.

111

And sometimes people talk about learning new skills,

112

like, I will learn to play the guitar or I am going to learn a new language.

113

That's fantastic.

114

Learning a new skill is so rewarding.

115

I remember I said, I will learn to knit one day.

116

I haven't done it yet,

117

but it's still in my future plans.

118

Well, you still have time, Emily.

119

What about family plans?

120

People often talk about those, too.

121

Oh, yes.

122

Like, I will spend more time with my family.

123

Or we are going to have a big family dinner next Sunday.

124

These are lovely plans.

125

They are.

126

And sometimes people talk about moving to a new place.

127

I will move to a bigger house next year.

128

Or, I am going to live in the countryside.

129

Yes, changing your home is a big future plan for many.

130

It's exciting.

131

So we have travel, career,

132

new skills, family, and moving.

133

What else comes to mind?

134

People also talk about health and well-being.

135

Like, I will exercise more.

136

Or, I am going to eat healthier food.

137

These are very good future plans for personal health.

138

Those are very important.

139

Taking care of yourself is vital.

140

I plan to take more walks in the park, as you mentioned, Paul.

141

So, I am going to walk more often.

142

Good plan, Emily.

143

And speaking of plans, sometimes we use might or may to talk about the future when we are not 100% sure.

144

For example, I might go to the party tonight,

145

meaning it's possible but not certain.

146

Ah, yes, might and may.

147

They show possibility.

148

So, I might buy a new car next year means it's a possibility,

149

but not a definite plan yet.

150

Exactly.

151

Or, it may rain tomorrow.

152

We are not sure, but it's possible.

153

So, will for sure things,

154

going to for decided plans,

155

and might may for possibilities.

156

Good summary, Paul.

157

This is really helpful for our listeners.

158

Let's try some examples.

159

Paul, tell me something you will do next year,

160

something you are sure about.

161

Okay.

162

I will definitely learn some new songs on my guitar.

163

I love playing, and I want to improve.

164

That's a sure thing for me.

165

That's wonderful, Paul.

166

And what is something you are going to do soon?

167

Something you have already decided?

168

I am going to buy a new book for my reading club next week.

169

I already picked it out.

170

Perfect.

171

And what is something you might do in the distant future?

172

Something that's a possibility.

173

Hmm.

174

In the distant future, I might learn to speak Italian.

175

I love Italian food and culture,

176

so it's a nice dream,

177

but I'm not sure yet.

178

That's great, Paul.

179

Italian is a beautiful language.

180

So you will learn new songs,

181

you're going to buy a book,

182

and you might learn Italian.

183

Good job.

184

Thank you, Emily.

185

Now it's your turn.

186

Tell me something you will do next week.

187

Next week, I will call my grandmother.

188

We talk every week, so it's a sure thing.

189

That's lovely.

190

And what are you going to do this weekend?

191

This weekend, I am going to visit a new coffee shop.

192

My friend told me about it,

193

and I want to try their coffee.

194

Oh, nice.

195

And something you might do next year?

196

Next year, I might plant a small garden.

197

I love flowers, but I am not sure if I will have enough time.

198

So it's a possibility.

199

Excellent examples, Emily.

200

Our listeners can practice these phrases too,

201

thinking about their own future plans.

202

Yes, exactly.

203

Thinking about your own life makes it easier to remember.

204

That's a good point, Emily.

205

So we've talked about our personal plans.

206

But what about things that will happen in the world?

207

We use will for predictions about the future,

208

often based on what we think.

209

Right.

210

For example, the weather forecast says it will be sunny tomorrow.

211

Or, I think technology will change a lot in the next ten years.

212

Yes, we often use I think or I believe with will for predictions.

213

I think people will travel to space more often in the future.

214

That's a big prediction.

215

That's a very big prediction, Emily.

216

I hope so.

217

So it's not just about our personal lives,

218

but also about the world around us.

219

Exactly.

220

And sometimes when we talk about the future,

221

we also talk about goals and aspirations.

222

A goal is something you want to achieve.

223

An aspiration is a strong hope or ambition.

224

That's a good point.

225

My goal is to finish reading this very long book by the end of the month.

226

My aspiration is to write my own book one day.

227

Wow, Paul!

228

That's a wonderful aspiration.

229

I hope you will do it.

230

My goal is to learn ten new English words every week.

231

My aspiration is to help many,

232

many people learn English through our podcast.

233

And you are doing a great job, Emily.

234

You are already helping so many people.

235

So when we talk about goals,

236

we often use phrases like,

237

My goal is to learn English.

238

Or, I want to achieve success.

239

Yes, or I hope to travel.

240

For aspirations, we might say,

241

My dream is to fly.

242

Or, I aspire to be a good person.

243

These are all ways to talk about our future.

244

It's so important to have dreams and goals.

245

They give us direction, don't they?

246

Absolutely.

247

They give us something to work towards.

248

And even if a plan changes, it's okay.

249

Sometimes our future plans change,

250

and that's a part of life.

251

Yes, life is full of surprises.

252

So if your plan to bake cookies tomorrow suddenly changes because you have to work, that's okay.

253

You can bake them another day.

254

Exactly!

255

Flexibility is key.

256

So, listeners, don't worry if your future plans change.

257

It's normal.

258

The important thing is to keep learning and keep trying.

259

That's a great message, Emily.

260

So, we've covered will, going to,

261

might, may, and we We talked about goals and aspirations.

262

What about common questions people ask about the future?

263

Oh, yes.

264

Very important for conversations.

265

A common question is, what are your plans for the weekend?

266

Yes, or what are you doing after work today?

267

These are simple, everyday future questions.

268

And if it's a bigger future plan,

269

someone might ask, what will you do after you finish school?

270

Or where do you see yourself in five years?

271

Ah, where do you see yourself in five years?

272

That's a classic interview question too.

273

It makes you think.

274

It does.

275

And a good way to answer is,

276

in five years, I will be working in a new job.

277

Or I hope to be living in a different city.

278

Yes, practice makes perfect.

279

So listeners, try to answer that question for yourselves.

280

Where do you see yourself in five years?

281

Great idea, Paul!

282

about it and try to use will or going to in your answer.

283

So Emily, what is one thing you are most excited about for your future, big or small?

284

Hmm, that's a lovely question, Paul.

285

I am most excited about continuing to learn and grow.

286

I think I will always be a student of life,

287

and that excites me.

288

And you, Paul?

289

That's a beautiful answer, Emily.

290

For me, I am most excited about meeting new people and having new experiences.

291

I believe I will meet many interesting people in the future,

292

and that makes me very happy.

293

That's wonderful, Paul.

294

Life is an adventure, isn't it?

295

It truly is.

296

And learning English is part of that adventure for our listeners.

297

By talking about the future,

298

they are building their English skills step by step.

299

Yes, exactly.

300

Every word, every phrase helps them on their journey.

301

So, we hope this episode helped you understand how to talk about the future in English.

302

It's a very useful skill.

303

It certainly is.

304

And remember, practice makes perfect.

305

Try to talk about your own future plans in English every day,

306

even just for a few minutes.

307

Yes, even if it's just,

308

I will make coffee now.

309

Every little bit helps.

310

That's a great example, Emily.
