Goal: discuss career choices, use future tense and all three conditionals fluently, argue for/against brain drain, write a 200-word choice / abroad essay. The most career-shaped unit in the syllabus — Test 14 and Test 16 both lean on it.
📐 Future tense
- Simple future: will + verb (single act).
- Future continuous: will be + V-ing (in progress at a future moment).
- Future perfect: will have + V3 (by + future time).

- Type 2 (imagined): If + past, would + V.
- Type 3 (regret): If + past perfect, would have + V3.
- Use "were" for all persons in Type 2.
