Topic 63 15 Januaray 2019 Plans for the year and more

1. In each New Year we make 'New Year' resolutions. These are things we plan to do, or stop doing, during the year. For example, Bill might say "I'm making a New Year resolution to stop smoking". Mary might say "I'm making a New Year resolution to get more exercise". So what are your New Year resolutions for 2019?

2. At the end of 2019, what will you be able to do that you can't do now?

3. At the end of 2019, what will you have found out about that you don't know now?

4. At the end of 2019, where will you have gone that you haven't been to yet?

5. At the end of 2019, who do you think you might have met whom you don't know now?

6. How has your understanding changed since the beginning of 2018?

7. Early in 2019 (no later than May) Australia will have a Federal election. Most people think the government will change. What would you expect to be different under a new government?

8. Technology is changing faster and faster. If you had an electronics shop, what products do you think would be selling best by Christmas 2019?

9. Fewer and fewer people buy newspapers. Fewer young people watch TV now. Social media like Facebook are becoming less popular too. What will be the most popular ways of making contact and getting news in the future?

10. World politics is rather difficult at the moment. America, China and Russia are in a sort of conflict. How do you think these problems will work out in 2019?
