1. The first conditional. El primer condicional

PRESENT SIMPLE + FUTURE SIMPLE

If we work hard, we will finish the project on time.

IF CONDITION , RESULT

The first conditional is used to express a real or very probable

situation in the future. It refers to things that will possibly happen in
the future if a condition is met.

The first conditional is common when we are talking about

possible plans, promises, warnings, threats or for persuading
someone.

Living buildings and its consequences. Vivir en los edificios y sus consecuencias.

There are some people on the Earth every year, and experts agree that if we continue to grow food in the same way,
there won’t be enough food for everyone in the future. Growing food uses a lot of land, and some people believe there
simply there isn’t enough land in the world. So, some architects think that the answer is to grow food in cities, not in the
countryside. They want to create “living buildings” in cities where people can live and also grow food to eat.

One plan for a “living tower” shows a tall building, with fifteen floors. There will be stores at the bottom of the building.
There will be 130 apartments and offices on the higher floors. On every floor there will also be a “field”, which will grow
fresh food such as tomatoes and strawberries. The people who live in the tower will be able to eat this food for free!

Architect Juan Carlos Aguilar believes it is a very good idea to grow food in buildings. “There will be electronic
temperature control, so there will always be perfect conditions for the plants” he says. “We’ll be able to recycle water
from the apartments and use it to water the plant. And there’s no hot sun inside, so if we water the plants, the water
won’t evaporate quickly. If we grow food in cities, we won’t need so many farms in the countryside, so we won’t pollute
our land and rivers. I believe that living buildings will really help the environment.”

But other people are not sure. They think it won’t be possible to grow much food in cities. They believe the answer is to
use technology to grow more food in the countryside. But everyone agrees that if there are more people on the Earth
in the future, we will need to adapt and grow food in different ways, so that we can make sure there is enough food for
everyone.
