Zero/ First Conditional
I want to tell you about our life on this island. My grandfather always
used to tell me that if you want to succeed in life, you have to work
hard. This was clear when we got here on this island in Myanmar. The
climate is hot, and there are many hazards here such as when the sea
rises, the beach becomes dangerous.
We were sent here as part of our training. They said if we don’t go, we
won’t pass the course. Each day we have to find water and food.
Sometimes when we search we find dangerous animals, and we even
found a bomb from WW2. There is a danger from pirates too. If we
hide from the pirates, we might be ok.
I thought that if the weather is good, I’ll be able to make a fire to cook
some food, but making a fire is very difficult with the things we have. If
there is no wind tomorrow, we might hear the sound of crocodiles.

Now imagine you are on an island together trying to survive.
In pairs practice zero and first conditionals using the objects to help you.
E.g. ‘If we see an animal, we could use the knife to kill it’
But you can elaborate too, like ‘If we see an animal, we could use the knife to kill it so we will have
some food. However, it might be difficult if we see a crocodile!’
