The Fortune
Teller
Lesson 4
In this lesson you will:
*learn about fortune telling
*ask and answer questions
*use ‘can’ and ‘will’
Who can tell
the future?
What do people
use to help
them know the
future?
Rachel and Ben want to know about
the future.
They are excited, but a little afraid.
Ben wants to know
if he will be a famous
football player.
And Rachel wants to know if she will
be a successful business-woman.
They are going to visit a fortune teller.
The teens have some questions ready:
Rachel asks:
‘ Will I run a big
company ? ’
Ben asks:
‘ Can I get to be
a star? ’
The fortune teller looks at
her crystal ball
and answers:
‘You will work in a restaurant’
‘You will be a big manger.’
‘You can pass the test
(if you try hard enough).’
‘You can get to be a star.’
‘You will have many friends.’
We use ‘will’ to say that
something will happen in the
future for certain.
We use ‘can’ to show that it is
possible or that a person is able to
do something.
Let’s practice the use of can and will:
*You ask the crystal ball:
____ I win the lottery?
____ I be rich?
* You ask your friend:
____ you ride a bike?
____ you come riding with me?
* You ask your mother:
____ I have a new computer for my
birthday?
Can _____________ ?
Will _____________ ?
Now let’s ask the
crystal ball some
more questions.
Try to predict your own future:
In twenty yearsWhere will you live?
I will live in ___________ (country)
What will you do?
I will work in ________________
In twenty years-
Will you be married?
Yes, _______ be married
No, _______ be single
________ have children?
Yes, _______ have _____ children.
No, _______ have children.
A fortune teller can help you
know the future.
Another way of knowing the
future is with astrology.
Let’s see what that means.

There is a third way of
knowing the future:
reading the content of
a fortune cookie.
A fortune cookie is a sweet
thin cookie with a paper
inside. Your fortune is
written on the paper.
Eat the cookie while you
read!
Let’s see if you have got what it
takes to fulfill your dreams.
You can use numerology to find
out more about yourself.
