1) ✈️ Tina and the Paper Plane

Tina’s science club is holding a “flight challenge.” Her paper planes always drop fast. She tries heavy paper, but it bends. She asks her brother, and he says to check the folds and the wings. Tina finds a short tutorial channel with slow, clear steps. She sets up her desk, gets thin A4 paper, and pauses after each step to copy it. She tests the plane in the hallway and measures the distance with tape.
Ending: If Tina watches the YouTube tutorial carefully, she will make a wonderful plane.

2) ⚽ Omar’s Team Poster

Omar wants to design a poster for Saturday’s school match. He opens a design app, but the fonts look messy and the pictures are blurry. The coach needs the poster tonight. Omar can use the team’s shared drive with good photos, and there’s a simple layout template in the app. He has one hour before dinner. He decides to follow the template and use only the team colors.
Ending: If Omar uses the template and the shared photos, he can finish a clean poster tonight.

3) 🧪 Mei’s Lost Lab Slip

Mei must bring a signed safety slip for the lab demo. She put it somewhere in her room after school. The teacher said only students with the slip may enter the lab. Mei checks her desk, bag, and books, but it isn’t there. Then she remembers: she studied on the sofa. She runs to the living room and looks under the cushion. She still has twenty minutes before she leaves.
Ending: If Mei doesn’t find the safety slip, she won’t join the lab demo.

4) 🎸 Javier’s Open-Mic Nerves

Javier wants to play guitar at the youth center. He knows two songs, but he gets nervous when people watch him. His friend suggests a plan: record a practice video, play it to three friends, and ask for one tip from each. Javier schedules short practice slots and sets a reminder on his phone. He’ll sleep early, drink water, and warm up his hands.
Ending: If Javier follows the plan and uses his friends’ tips, he can play confidently at open mic; if he skips practice, he won’t feel ready.

📦 Grammar Box — First Conditional

Use: Talk about a real future result that depends on a condition.
👉 It’s possible. We think it can/will happen.

1) Form

If + present simple, will / won’t + base verb

If + present … , will/won’t + verb
If I study, I will pass.
If he forgets the slip, he won’t join the lab.

You can change the order:

Will/won’t + verb … if + present
She will make a great plane if she watches the tutorial.

2) With can / can’t for ability/possibility

If + present, can/can’t + base verb
If Omar uses the template, he can finish the poster.
If you don’t bring the ticket, you can’t enter.

3) Spelling & commas

Comma after the if-clause when it comes first:
If it rains, we won’t play.
No comma when the main clause comes first:
We will play if it’s sunny.

4) Important rules

In the if-part, use present simple (NOT will):
✅ If he practises, he will play well.
❌ If he will practise, he will play well.
Use won’t = will not (future negative).
Contractions are natural: I’ll, you’ll, we’ll.

5) Useful patterns (class contexts)

If you watch the steps slowly, you will fold it right.
If you use clear photos, you can make a clean poster.
If you don’t find the form, you won’t go to the lab.
If you follow the plan, you can play confidently.
