Title: A Time Capsule from the Future

Level: Intermediate (B2)


#Story :

Ethan Brooks, a high school history teacher, uncovers a mysterious time capsule that appears far too advanced for its supposed age. Inside, he finds futuristic gadgets, a photograph of his town years into the future, and a letter addressed to him. The letter warns of dire events to come and provides instructions to prevent environmental and societal catastrophes. Ethan follows the guidance, rallying his community to make sustainable changes. Despite strange warnings and a mysterious visitor urging him to stop, he persists, hiding the capsule in case it’s needed again. As changes take root in the town, a final letter appears, thanking him and reminding him that the future is shaped by those willing to make a difference.
