Don't be scared as these poor eggs are... Be creative!
Here you have four examples I've cooked to inspire you. Remember to have an adult's supervision in the kitchen if you are going to use fire or sharp knives.

If you are curious about the Third Conditional, have a go... if you dare!
THIRD CONDITIONAL (it's impossible, 0%, you regret but you can't go back to the past) If I had known, I wouldn't have tried that food.
What's the formula?
SUMMARY:
Formulae: (provide your own examples to remember)
Type 0: [If + Present], [Present] Type I: [If + Present], [will+ inf.] Type II: [If + Past ], [would + inf.] Type III: [If + Past Perf], [would have + past part.]
Mixed II & III: [If + Past Perfect], [would + inf.]
Remember: 1. The conditional construction does not normally use will or would in if-clauses.
2. For the second conditional, were replaces was: If I were a rich man... If I were you...
3. Instead of if not, we can use unless: I'll be back tomorrow unless I have an emergency call.
4.There is a "mixed type" as well, for the present results of an unreal condition in the past:
[If + Past Perfect], [would + inf.] If you had warned me [then], I would not be in prison [now].
1.What type of conditional is it?
2.“What is Beyonce’s job in the video?
3.What is her boyfriend’s job in the
video?
4.Where do they see each other?
5.What do they argue about in the
middle of the video?”
What does she mean with this song?
Now complete the sentence with at least three ideas and share: "If I were a boy/girl, I would..."
You can use this template:
If I Were A ____________
If I were a ___________ even just for a day
I'd _____________________ And I'd _________________________ I'd _____________________ And I'd _____________ because ____________
If I were a _______________ I think I could _____________ I swear I'd _______________
READING: "We face an infinite number of futures". When I was your age we imagined a future with flying cars, teletransportation, and the capacity to minimize objects and keep them in our pockets.
Well... we are still waiting for flying cars but actually, we have sort of seen the other possibilities come true: twenty years ago we had to send a letter, a picture or a film through the post and it would take a long time to get from Spain to, say... New Zealand.
Now, it's just a click away with the internet! Letters have turned into e-mails, photographs have gone digital and you don't need to have a physical tape to watch a film. Isn't it a kind of teletransportation?
Every two minutes, we take as many photos as all of humanity took during the 1800s.
Same with the minimization of objects... Have you got a smart phone? Well, look at the picture below and think about the changes we've had in just a couple of decades!

In the 76th minute of yesterday's game against Villarreal, a racist threw a banana at Barcelona defender and Brazilian national team player Dani Alves.
After the game he explained, "It's been happening for 11 years, we can't change it, so best to treat it as a joke. If we give it no importance, they fail."
