Hello
and welcome back for another English language
lesson on your live programme, l want to tell
you something else about 'will'.
Remember that we learned 'will' for snap decisions
like 'I'll buy it', well now l want to teach
you another use of 'will' which is very common
for predictions, and l want you to watch this
situation which is very typical of the use of
'will', ok? Great!
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and here
is the weather forecast for the bank holiday
weekend.
In north Scotland it will be very cold, with
outbreaks of snow in the mountains, temperatures
will remain low as a cold front moves across
the region.
Now, in the north of England it'll be somewhat
wet as rain will move across the region until
late into the night, so if you're planning on
going walking, take some waterproof clothes
with you.
In East Anglia it will be dry but generally
dull and rather cloudy, unfortunately, however
in south England it will be a bright clear day
with sunshine, a day for the beach.
And in south east England in the morning it
will be foggy but then it will clear in the
afternoon and there will be a wonderful warm
wind.
So, ladies and gentlemen that is the forecast
for your weekend, your holiday weekend, and
l hope you enjoy yourselves.
lf l were you l would go to south England where
the sun is shining, goodbye.
Ok, now there l was telling you the weather
forecast and that is a typical example of when
we use 'will', let's look at the board.
Now, 'will' is easy, really, it's just the pronunciation
which is difficult, l said 'Tomorrow it'll be
cold', you notice how 'it will' becomes 'it'll',
'it'll' strange pronunciation yes?
So 'Tomorrow it'll be cold', 'it'll be sunny',
'it'll be winter'.
'It won't be sunny' is the negative, 'won't'
remember, the difference between 'will not',
'won't' and 'want'?
'Won't', 'want' so be careful with that pronunciation,
so 'it'll be sunny' and 'it won't be sunny'
you could say, ok?
So that's another use of 'will' for predictions,
so we have learned snap decisions 'I'll buy
it' and predictions 'Tomorrow it'll rain'.
So what do you think it will do tomorrow?
We'll find out, won't we? Ok see you in the
next lesson, bye.
