You'll also encounter terms like **disruptive technology**, **cutting-edge**, and how to **embrace innovation**, providing a robust toolkit for expressing complex ideas.

## Mastering future tenses

This lesson hones your ability to use the **future perfect** and **future continuous** tenses. These grammatical structures are crucial for discussing predictions, ongoing developments, and completed innovations in the field of manufacturing and beyond.

You will practise describing actions that will be completed before a specific point in the future, such as "By 2040, many companies **will have fully embraced** gravity-defying manufacturing techniques," and actions that will be in progress at a future point, like "Next year, researchers **will be developing** even more advanced materials for 3D printing."

## Engaging in discussion

Put your new vocabulary and grammar into practice with a stimulating discussion activity. You'll have the opportunity to share your opinions on the future of manufacturing, the ethical implications of new technologies, and how these changes might impact society.

This is your chance to articulate your thoughts, debate potential challenges, and speculate on the exciting possibilities presented in the video and beyond.

## Further insights through reading

A dedicated reading passage will provide additional context and expand on the themes introduced in the video. This section offers another opportunity to encounter key vocabulary in a different setting and deepen your understanding of the topic.
