Activity 01: Read the text below and provide a summary

Science fiction is a genre of fiction and film dealing with imaginary, scientific, technological futuristic themes. The starting point for writers and film makers or sci-fi is: What if it were real? On this position, they construct different scenarios about what would happen if Martians, for example, invaded our planet. Some of them have supposed that if Martians invaded the Earth, they would use us as a source of food. Others have imagined that Martians were friendly. So they suppose that if Martians came into contact with us they would help us cure diseases like cancer.

Sci-fi takes its ideas and concerns from current ideas in science. Sci-fi writer and film makers imagine a recreated past, and a possible future to express these ideas and concerns. These unreal pasts and future histories are filled with speculations about how things would have been different if we had known better and if we had done things otherwise.
