Chapter 7 The Time Capsule

One week later

It's English lesson and the teacher Ms. Brown is explaining the future tense

We use will to talk about the future

Here are some examples

Example

I will travel around the world in the future

I will have children

I will be successful in my career

I will live in a peaceful town

I will start a rock band

I will study at a very good university

Arda isn't listening to the lesson

He is chatting with enigmatic about space

Yasmin looks at him

She frowns

Be quiet

I can't understand the teacher

Later she raises her hand

What about the question form Ms. Brown?

How can we ask a question in the future tense?

In question form the sentence starts with will

For example

Will you make a career in the future?

Yasmin writes the example in her notebook

Then she raises her hand again

What about the negative sentences Ms. Brown?

We use won't to make the sentence negative

For example

People won't have enough oxygen in the future

Another example

We won't die of diseases like cancer

Thank you

Now, who can tell me the question forms of these sentences?

Arda, can you do it?

Arda hears his name and he turns to the teacher in panic

What no teacher, I didn't do it, it's a lie

Arda, why aren't you listening to me?

Go to the principal's office

Arda doesn't want to go to the principal's office so he lies

But I always listen to you Ms. Brown

Ms. Brown doesn't believe him

Ok, so tell me the question forms of these sentences

A, write the question forms of the sentences below

At that moment, Mr. Ruler gets in

Ms. Brown makes a joke

Oh, C. Arda, you are so naughty that you don't go to the principal's office

The principal comes to you

Arda's face turns red

Mr. Ruler looks at him

What is going on?

Is he breaking the rules again Ms. Brown?

He chatted with enigmatic during lesson

But he answered my questions correctly so this time I forgive him

Ok Arda, now answer my questions

B, you are Arda

You want to go to university and you want to have an excellent career in helping ill animals

Mr. Ruler is asking you some questions

Choose the correct answers

What will you be in the future Arda?

I hope I will be a veterinarian

Will you go to university to be a vet?

I hope so

Will you pass the university entrance exams?

Probably

Will you have a good career?

I believe I will

How?

You don't listen to your lessons

You always break the rules

You cheat

Do you think you will be a successful veterinarian?

Definitely not

Sit down and think about it

Arda sits down

Everybody is silent

Mr. Ruler walks in front of the board and continues

It isn't just Arda

You all should be careful

You are in the seventh grade now

You are not little babies

You should make plans for your future

Actually, I am here to talk about these

We have a time capsule program

In this program, all students write letters to themselves

These letters have students predictions about their lives ten years later

We put these letters in a time capsule and we buried in the garden

Ten years later, you will come back to school

And we will take the time capsule out

You will read your letters

You will see the result

Are you the person you wanted to be or not?

Our graduates will come to school tomorrow

They will take their time capsules out and read their letters

Later, we will put your letters in the time capsule and bury it

Ten years later, you will come to school and read your letters

Now, write a letter to your future self and list your future dreams

Students start writing their letters

See, look at the pictures of the student's dreams

And write short letters to their future selves

All the students finish writing their letters

Yasamin puts her letter in an envelope

At that moment, she sees Arda

He didn't write a letter

Why did you write your letter Arda?

Didn't you hear Mr. Ruler? I'm hopeless

I'm afraid I won't be successful in the future

Don't be silly

Mr. Ruler is trying to motivate you

But Arda doesn't listen, he puts his head on his desk and closes his eyes

I'm a loser, I have no hope for the future

The next day, graduates of Magnific come to school

They take their time capsule out

They receive their letters ten years later

They start reading their letters one by one

Hi future me

I didn't want to write this letter

But the principal told me to do

Why?

Because I probably can't even read this letter ten years later

The world has really big problems

Climate change is a big danger

People will start living in underwater cities ten years later

They will eat food pills and try to survive

So, I don't think you can read this letter ten years later

But, are you reading this letter now?

Do you live in a peaceful green world?

Well, then you should thank me

I want to be an environmental engineer

And, I want to work for Greenpeace to save our planet

Maybe I can make a change

And you can survive

Continue saving the planet

E

What are the predictions of Maggie Joe and Jimmy Purple

About the future of the world?

Right

The graduates finish reading their letters

Now, we can put the new letters into the capsule

Are your letters ready?

Yes!

They go near the time capsule, but Arta doesn't

He just waits and watches the other students

At that moment, Jimmy Purple comes near him

Oh, where is the toilet, young boy?

I think they changed its place, I can't find it

Arta gives him the directions

There is a toilet at the library, go straight ahead and turn right

It's there

Jimmy Purple leaves

Later, Mr Ruler comes near Arta

Why aren't you putting your letter in the time capsule, Arta?

Because you're right, sir, I'm a liar and a cheater

I never listen to the lessons

And I don't work hard, I want to be a veterinarian

But I think I will be like Mark Daines in the future

I don't have any hope

Oh, yesterday

I said those things to you because I want you to study more

And be successful

You shouldn't lose your hope because of this

I believe you can be a great veterinarian in the future

But you must study

Did I hurt you?

I'm so sorry, please go and write a letter now

Are you serious?

Do you think I will have a good career?

I hope so

Okay, fine, I will go to the library and write a letter now

Can you wait for me?

Well, I think I hurt your feelings yesterday

So I should wait

Go and write your letter

But do it quickly

Your friends are waiting

Arta runs to the library

He sees Enigmatic on his way

He is running too

He is escaping from something

He looks scared

There is a wound on his head

What?

What are you doing here Enigmatic?

What happened to your head?

Enigmatic panics

He closes the wound with his hand

Nothing, I must go

Enigmatic runs towards the school

Arta doesn't know what happened

He tries to make a guess

F

What happened to Enigmatic?

Make a guess and write it below

Arta is confused

But people are waiting for his letter

So he can't stop

He continues running to the library

At that moment he hears something

A voice

A man is shouting

It's coming from the library

Arta runs to the library

The voice is coming from the toilet

He goes there

It's Jimmy Purple

Someone attacked me

Someone hit me on the head

Arta is shocked

He helps Jimmy stand up

Who did this?

I don't know

I didn't see him

I came here and washed my hands

Suddenly somebody hit me on the back of my head

I took the soap dish and threw it back

It hit that person

When I turned my back

There was no one in the toilet

It's like

It's like teleportation of someone

Someone hit me and teleported out

Arta can't say another word

Ten minutes later

Arta comes to the garden with Jimmy

Everyone sees the wound on his head

Oh, what happened?

Are you okay Jimmy?

Arta looks at Enigmatic

The wound on his head isn't there now

He stands at the back

Arta points at him

He did it to Jimmy

He is an alien

He has superpowers

He can change his appearance

And he can teleport everything

He is an alien soldier

He invented space guns

He destroyed many planets

Everyone is silent

They look at Arta

Arta continues shouting

He makes some guesses

But he mixes the order of the words

Because he is very angry

Gee

Order the words

To make meaningful sentences

Aliens will control our planet

They will steal our natural resources

They will destroy the world

Human beings will become extinct

Arta is right

Enigmatic is an alien

We all saw it

Enigmatic hears this

And he starts crying

He looks like a poor little boy

It was a fancy dress party

It was a costume

The principal knows that

Yes, it was a fancy dress party

Did this student attack you Jimmy?

I didn't see anyone

Someone hit me on the head

I turned my back to see it

But I saw no one

So I think that person is a very fast runner

He escaped very fast

Enigmatic is fat

He can't run so fast

So I don't think it was him

He didn't run

He teleported himself

You said that Jimmy

Don't you remember?

Are you crazy?

I said it's like he teleported out

I didn't say he teleported out

I know human beings can't teleport

He isn't a human being

Order is right

He teleported us to Africa

Yes, there was a dinosaur there

He cheats and football matches

With his teleportation machine

He is red and he has got antennais

He can change his appearance

So he looks like a human being

Enigmatic continues crying

You don't like me because I'm bald

I'm plump and I don't have a family

You'll always stay away from me

Now you call me an alien

I'm so sad

I can't stay in Magnific

I'm leaving

He runs to the port of Magnific

The physical education teacher feels sorry for him

He runs after him

Enigmatic, wait, please, let's talk

Mr. Ruler and the graduates look at the students of Magnific

Shame on you

Just imagine

You don't have a family

And your friends make fun of you like that

You will apologise to Enigmatic

For this silly lie

You are all punished

You will write

I shouldn't hurt my friends' feelings
