Welcome to the complete Unit 9 package for Ticket to English – 2nd Year Bac. Here you will find structured materials for Vocabulary, Reading, Grammar, Functions and Writing, all centred on Advances in Science and Technology.

🧠 1. Vocabulary – Science & Technology

🎯 Objectives 📚 Content 🧩 Classroom Ideas
  • Understand and use key science & technology vocabulary.
  • Group words into fields, devices and concepts.
  • Use the words in simple speaking and writing tasks.
  • Core nouns: science, technology, experiment, research, invention, discovery, innovation, progress, development.
  • Fields: biology, physics, chemistry, robotics, biotechnology, IT, renewable energy.
  • Devices: smartphone, laptop, tablet, robot, satellite, microscope, webcam.
  • Effects / abstract: benefit, risk, advantage, disadvantage, dependence, addiction, privacy.
  • Matching: word → definition.
  • Sorting table: Fields / Devices / Other concepts.
  • Gap‑fill sentences using advantage, risk, benefit, etc.
  • Pair talk: “One advantage / one disadvantage of smartphones, AI, social media…”

📖 2. Reading – How Technology Is Changing Our Lives

🎯 Objectives 📄 Text Focus 📝 Tasks
  • Read and understand a text about the impact of technology.
  • Identify main ideas and supporting details.
  • Distinguish between benefits and risks of technology.

Title: How Technology Is Changing Our Lives

  • Communication: from letters to instant messages and social media.

  • True/False + correct false sentences.
  • WH‑questions: How has communication changed? Examples in medicine? Negative effects?
  • Vocabulary in context (e.g. “very quickly”, “patients”, “dangerous”, “depend too much on”, “benefits”).
  • Pair discussion: choose one technology from the text and discuss pros/cons.

⚙️ 3. Grammar – Third Conditional & Wishes (Technology Context)

🎯 Objectives 📐 Form & Use 🧪 Practice Ideas
  • Form and use the third conditional for unreal past & regrets.
  • Use I wish + past simple and I wish + past perfect for present/past regrets.
  • Talk about technology decisions using these structures.
  • Third conditional: If + past perfect, would have + past participle
    ➜ If more students had joined the robotics competition, they would have had the chance to win laptops.
  • Wish (present regret): I wish + past simple
    ➜ I wish I used educational apps more.
  • Wish (past regret): I wish + past perfect
    ➜ They wish they had taken part in the event.
  • Controlled practice with tech‑based sentences (games, social media, online courses, school labs).
  • Group task: “If we had used technology differently at school, we would have…”
  • Creative extension: “If scientists had invented X earlier, people would have…”

💬 4. Functions I – Expressing Opinions, Agreeing & Disagreeing

🎯 Objectives 🔑 Useful Language 🗣️ Communicative Tasks
  • Give opinions about technology clearly.
  • Agree and disagree politely in pair/group work.

Agreeing:

  • I agree (with you). / You’re right. / I think so too. / That’s a good point.

🔍 5. Functions II – Expressing Certainty & Uncertainty

Certainty (100%–80%):

  • I’m sure (that)… / I’m certain (that)… / I’m absolutely sure…
  • Of course… / Definitely… / Certainly…
  • There is no doubt that…

Uncertainty / doubt (50%–0%):

  • I’m not sure (that)… / I’m not certain…

  • Warm‑up: “In 20 years, robots will do most jobs” → are you sure / not sure?
  • Dialogue: underline certainty and uncertainty expressions.
  • Classify expressions into certainty vs uncertainty.
  • React to predictions:
    • Robots will do most jobs.
    • Self‑driving cars will be everywhere.
    • Online learning will replace schools.
