Seperti yang sudah disampaikan di poin kedua, pada paragraph ketiga merupakan tempat dimana kalian menjelaskan data masa depannya.
Contoh:
In regards to the future projections of the energy consumption in the US, petrol and oil will remain the highest used energy as it is set to continue with a projected value of nearly 50 quadrillion units in 2030. Meanwhile, it is predicted that coal will overtake natural gas as it will reach just over 30 quadrillion units in 2030 compared to natural gas usage that will remain relatively constant until 2030. For nuclear and the renewable energies, it is speculated that nuclear energy will reach 10 quadrillion units by 2030 and solar/wind around 5 quadrillion units, with hydropower dropping and then remaining constant at approximately 2 quadrillion units.
Seperti yang bisa kalian lihat di contoh di atas, pengunaan tense bukan lagi past tense tapi future tense karena yang kalian bicarakan disini adalah perkiraan masa depan. Oleh karena itu, pengunaan kata kerjanya harus mencerminkan perkiraan yang dimana bisa kalian lihat kata kerja yang di bold dalam contoh di atas.
Jadi secara rumusan kalian bisa menggunakan kata kerja masa depan sebagai berikut;
- will + Verb 1
- is/are + predicted
- is/are + forecasted
- is/are + speculated
- is/are + set to + Verb 1
