A. Review Future Continuous Tense
Future continuous tense is a form of tense in English which is usually called the future progressive tense. The use of this tense indicates that an event will occur in the future and will continue for some time. The important thing to remember is that an event described by this tense has a time duration.
1. The Function of Future Continuous Tense
The functions of the Future Continuous Tense are:
a. Expressing an activity that will be or is being carried out at some time in the future or in the future with a specific time adverb.
Example: Arman will meet you at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning.
b. Indicates which event is taking place in the future when another event is also happening in the future.
Example: I will be playing football when you come tonight.
c. Asking a question politely and formally with the aim of conveying one's intentions.
Example: Will you be coming home?
It can be concluded that the use of the future continuous tense is the same as the past continuous. The difference is that it happens in the future, so we have to use the future tense or the second sentence with the simple present tense.

C. READING : Resume & Analyze
Art and Sains in Islam
The existence of art and science in Islam cannot be separated, both have an important role in the development of Islam. In art, the aesthetic value of beauty is an important element, so in Islam the value of beauty is a very important value that is parallel to the value of truth and goodness. Likewise, science can be called as one of the scientific paths to strengthen monotheism and belief in Allah SWT. However, it is unfortunate that the role of art and science in Islam today, which should be the intellectual identity of a Muslim, is no longer brilliant. Many of us are starting to be contaminated and influenced by outside cultures. so that it has a negative impact and view on the religion of Islam.
According to Al-Buthi conditions there are 2 things that are factors, including:
1. The fascination of Muslims towards the revolution that occurred in the West was a sign of the revival of Western civilization at that time.
2. Influenced by the success of the West in releasing itself from the clutches of church doctrines. Furthermore, the backwardness of Muslims in this century is caused by the chronic disease of most Muslims, namely the blind attachment of Muslims to Western civilization.
Therefore, as Muslims, they must be smart in choosing the intake of art and science for themselves, with the main foundation being faith. that way there will be a fortress so as not to be contaminated by western culture, so that our identity as Muslims is maintained.
