This ESL worksheet invites students into a future where thoughts can be monitored and controlled. In the year 2074, a global system called ThoughtNet scans people's minds for signs of violence, crime, or danger—before they ever act. At first, society celebrates the drop in crime, but soon people begin to fear that even angry or emotional thoughts can lead to arrest. The reading introduces a rebel group, FreeMind, who believe the right to think freely—even dark thoughts—is essential to being human. Through an accessible background story, discussion questions, a choose-your-own-adventure scenario, and a reflective writing task, students explore deep ethical issues in language they can understand. This worksheet is designed for strong B1 or B2 learners and works well in classes that enjoy science fiction, philosophy, or modern technology debates. It encourages critical thinking, conditional structures, and emotional vocabulary, making it ideal for conversation-focused lessons.
