一教學設計思想；
高中英語課程的總目標是使學生在義務教育階段英語學習的基礎上，進一步明確英語學習的目的，發展自主學習和合作學習的能力；形成有效的英語學習策略；培養學生的綜合語言運用能力。綜合語言運用能力的形成建立在語言技能，語言知識，情感態度，學習策略和文化意識等素養整合發展的基礎上。語言技能和語言知識是綜合語言運用能力的基礎/情感態度是影響學生學習和發展的重要因素。學習策略是提高學習效率，發展自主學習能力的先決條件。文化意識則是得體運用語言的保障。
本節課是針對Unit 16的內容而為了擴充學生的知識而另自己加設的閱讀課，中心話題是未來的生活，具體內容涉及未來的交通，商業，醫藥與健康，知識與教育等，激發學生的思維，引起學生對未來人類生活的幻想和想象。
