Using Conditional Clauses in Speaking Part 3

In part 3 of the speaking test, conditional clauses can be used to express possible or likely situations in the future. These clauses can help to introduce or develop arguments and opinions. Here are some examples of conditional clauses that can be used in the speaking test.

  1. If there are rapid changes in technology, then older people may struggle to keep up with new developments.

Example: If smartphones become even more advanced in the future, some elderly people may find it difficult to use them.

  1. If more and more people work from home, then workplaces may become less important.

Example: If remote work becomes more common in the future, companies may not need large offices anymore.

  1. Provided we have sufficient food and healthcare, people will be able to live longer and healthier lives.

Example: If governments invest in public health and nutrition, people's life expectancy and quality of life could improve.

  1. Unless we find alternative energy sources, fossil fuels will continue to harm the environment.

Example: If we don't start using renewable energy, the planet may suffer from the negative effects of climate change.

  1. If more and more people do all of their shopping online, shopping malls may become less popular.

Example: If e-commerce continues to grow, traditional brick-and-mortar stores may face challenges in the future.
