This is a high-interest, current events-based worksheet for upper-intermediate (B2) English learners. It uses an authentic, though futuristic, CNN news article as a compelling text to develop advanced reading comprehension, critical thinking, and geopolitical vocabulary skills. The worksheet moves systematically from factual verification (Part A) to vocabulary acquisition (Part B) and finally to synthesis and personal expression (Part C). It is self-contained with a full answer key, making it perfect for a 45-60 minute classroom lesson, a homework assignment, or the centerpiece of a longer discussion-based class on media, politics, or international relations.
