Need a timer for your lesson – try a video timer!
Timers are great and there are a lot of apps out there available for smartphones and tablets and most phones have timers built into them. However, if you are giving a presentation and you want to display a timer on a slide, what can you do?
You could connect a smartphone timer to a projection screen by using a display adapter, but you couldn’t incorporate it into a presentation. You would have to create your own timers for a presentation or install a flash image. Luckily, I have already produced some templates.
A while back, ELT-cation asked me about PowerPoint timers for a presentation event, so I produced some 20 Second Timers and wrote a page about how to create PowerPoint timers.
Since then I have noticed that there have been several search terms that focus on PowerPoint timers. They vary from questions about how to add a countdown timer in PowerPoint, to setting a countdown timer for a specific time and how to make a timer in PowerPoint.
My previous post covered some of the basic principles, but I want to write a second installment that deals with longer timers.
I want to introduce you to video timers.
Video timers have a number of advantages. They can be inserted into any presentation software (as long as you can insert video files), they can be formatted and re-sized, and your presentation will still be visible. This is especially useful if you are displaying activity instructions.
The disadvantage of video timers is that they will only play on one slide and not throughout the duration of the presentation.
How do you use timers in the classroom?
I use timers in a variety of activities.
I’ve used them for memory exercises. I give the students X amount of time to remember the information on the screen. What the students have to remember varies. It may be pictures, words or sentences. After the timer finishes the screen is turned off and the students have to work together to remember the information.
I’ve used them in brainstorming activities and writing challenges. Giving the students a theme or topic and asking them to write down as many associated words or phrases that they can think of within a time limit.
I’ve used them for speaking challenges. Trying to encourage students by gradually increasing their speaking time. This can be quite useful for students who are preparing for speaking tests.
I’ve used them to prevent activity stages from overrunning, especially stages that are only meant to be preparation for the production phase. A time limit can focus students and avoid these early stages from being drawn out.
If you want to use timers in your classroom presentations, click here if you want to skip ahead to download the timers.
Alternatively, check the table of contents and jump to any section that interests you. I have tried to answer as many questions about timers as I can in this post.
How to add a countdown timer in PowerPoint?
Download the timers below. They range from 20 seconds to 20 minutes.
To download a file, click on share and select download
All these timers are free to download and use in your presentations.
**The longer timers may be a second or two out.
This video tutorial looks at how to add a video timer to a PowerPoint presentation, the different ways you can format the video, and the playback options.
The video tutorial is 6:43 minutes long. I have listed the contents of the video by time frame, so that you can quickly return to the sections that interest you.

How to set a countdown timer for a specific time?
It is easy to set a timer app to a specific time. You just select the time and press start. How can you do that if the timer is a video file?
If you need a 1 minute 30 second timer, you need to download the 2 minute timer video. Insert the video into your presentation and open the video trimming dialog.
Screenshot of the video trimming dialog – PowerPoint 2013
Move the green slider to 01:30 to adjust the start time and click OK. When you click on the timer during the presentation, it will now start at the new time.
If you need a timer longer than 15 minutes, you will need to export one of the longer timers to video.
Note: The timers that range from 20 seconds to 15 minutes are accurate but the larger timers (20-minute to 60-minute timers) have a slight error margin of 1 or 2 seconds when they are exported to video.

How to make a timer in PowerPoint?
Creating the Timer
Making a timer from scratch in PowerPoint isn’t difficult but it does require a lot of objects, a lot of animations and having a clear idea about the order of the animations.
Screenshot of the 5 minute PowerPoint timer – PowerPoint 2013
The screenshot above gives an idea about how to approach making a timer in PowerPoint.
On the left there are six slides. The first slide is the title slide and each of the next five slides represents 1 minute.
On the right-hand side you can see a list of animations. Each second, one number disappears and another number appears and it appears as if there is a countdown.
Exporting the Timer to Video
Once you have created a timer, you may want to export it to video so that it is easy to insert into other presentations and compatible with other presentation software.
In PowerPoint, go to file and click on export, this will take you to the export menu where you can choose the format for your conversion. Select video and video conversion options will be display.
Screenshot of the timer available on the iPhone
The first drop down list lets you select the quality and size of your video. This ranges from videos suitable for your computer and a HD monitor (the largest file size), to video suitable for the Internet and DVD or videos suitable for Portable Media Devices (the smallest file size).
The second drop down list lets your choose whether or not to use the recorded timings and narrations. This isn’t important for these timers as all the timings and transitions have been set.
If you choose to export other PowerPoints to video, go to the slideshow ribbon and select the icon that looks like a stopwatch with a red recording dot.
This will run a presentation and remember the time that you spend on each slide. When you export the presentation to video, it will remember these timings.
Underneath the second drop down list there is a number. This is the number of seconds each slide will be displayed if no timings have been recorded.
Finally, click on the create video icon to export your presentation to video.
It was this feature that let me produce these video timers.

Unit 25 Grammar
• Unreal past, wishes / contrast
( Unreal past )
• Past tenses do not always refer to past time. In some sentences and with some verbs or phrases we use a past tense to refer to the present or the future or to a general situation.bThese include sentences that contain:
WATCH OUT
• Suppose, what if and imagine can also be followed by a present tense.
A present tense indicates that the situation is more likely to actually happen.
A past tense indicates that the situation is less likely to actually happen.
✓ What ifyou are accepted into art college? (more likely to happen)
✓ What ifyou were accepted into art college? (less likely to happen)
( Wishes )
• We use different structures with wish / if only, depending on exactly what we want to express.
WATCH OUT
• We do not usually say If only/I wish I would.
✓ If only /I wish I had enough money to buy these shoes.
✓ If only/I wish I could afford these shoes.
X If only/I wish I would have enough money to buy these shoes.
• To express desires about the future, we often use hope.
✓ I hope I will have enough money to buy these shoes next week.
✓ I hope to have enough money to buy these shoes next week.
X I wish I will have enough money to buy these shoes next week.
( although / though / even though )
• Although, though and even though are used to express contrast. Even though is more emphatic than although and though. Though is more informal than although and even though.
WATCH OUT
• Though can also come at the end of a sentence.
✓ I wore a hat. I got sunburn, though
( in spite of/ despite )
• In spite of and despite are used to express contrast. They mean exactly the same thing and take the same grammatical structures:
WATCH OUT
• We can also put in spite of/despite in the middle of the sentence.
✓ I got sunburn in spite of/despite wearing a hat.
✓ I got sunburn in spite of/ despite having worn a hat.
X My sunburn was terrible in spite of/despite wearing a hat. (= My sunburn wore a hat)
( however / nevertheless )
| However and nevertheless are used to express contrast. However is formal. Nevertheless is even more formal. |
| The fashion show was expensive to put on. However / Nevertheless, it did make a profit. |
| The fashion show was expensive to put on. It did make a profit, however/nevertheless. |
| The fashion show was expensive to put on. It did, however/nevertheless, make a profit. |
( while / whereas )
• While and whereas are used to contrast two different facts or ideas.
A Complete using the correct form of the verb in brackets.
1. Don’t you think it’s time you told (tell) Andrea the truth?
2. What if we ……. (rent) a villa by the sea for the summer?

Конструкция I wish в английском языке
Чтобы говорить о своих мечтах, желаниях и сожалениях, есть несколько способов. Наиболее распространенный – это конструкция «I wish» в английском языке. Также в этом значении используется синонимичное ей выражение с «if only». Они все выражают сожаление или желание изменить ситуацию. Грамматически правила образования таких предложений идентичны.
Глагол to wish переводится «хотеть, желать». Часто предложения с этим глаголом переводятся на русский как «Жаль, что…». Это бывает в нескольких типах конструкций, начинающихся с «I wish». В качестве подлежащего в них может использоваться не только «I», но и любое другое лицо (you, he, she, it, we, they). Для простоты объяснения будем отталкиваться от принятого примера с «I wish».
Предложения с «I wish»
Такие предложения – это, в определенном смысле, условные предложения. Они состоят из главной и придаточной части. Именно придаточная часть влияет на смысл сказанного.
Но не нужно рассматривать эти конструкции по классическим трем типам условных предложений. Они все же имеют другую логику.
По смыслу эти предложения выражают:
I spoke Italian.
что я не говорю по-итальянски.
Подсказка! Конструкция «I wish» сложна для понимания из-за особенностей перевода с помощью «Жаль…». Дело в смысловой зеркальности английской и русской фразы. Там где на английском придаточное предложение утвердительное, на русском языке будет отрицательный перевод (прочитайте еще раз пример из таблички выше). И многих это вводит в ступор!
Чтобы избежать такой путаницы и понять логику, можете для начала научиться переводить фразы дословно («Хотелось бы…», «Хотел бы я…»). Так вам будет легче понять смысл.
Предложение из примера в дословном переводе будет звучать так:
Хотел бы я говорить на итальянском. (= Но, к сожалению, я на нем не говорю).
Типы предложений с «I wish»
Wish-обороты делятся на четыре разновидности, которые отличаются друг от друга по значению. Для начала рассмотрим короткий и простой пример, чтобы наглядно увидеть разницу между основными двумя типами таких предложений.
I wish we were on the beach.
Жаль, что мы не на пляже.
I wish I had bought the dress last year.
Жаль, что я не купила то платье в прошлом году.
Обратите внимание, что глагол главного предложения всегда используется в настоящем времени в утвердительной форме (всегда I wish или любое другое местоимение/существительное вместо I).
А вот после «I wish» не ставится глагол в настоящем или будущем времени (даже если на русский мы и переводит предложения настоящим или будущим) – только Past. Придаточные предложения могут быть и положительными, и отрицательными.
А сейчас рассмотрим правило «I wish» более подробно.
Оборот «I wish» + Past Simple / Past Continuous
Используется, когда речь идет о настоящем в ситуациях, если:
единичное (статичное) действие
I wish I had a big detached house in the suburbs.
He wishes he didn’t work today.
Жаль, что у меня нет большого дома в пригороде. (=Хотел бы я, чтобы у меня был большой дом в пригороде).
Ему жаль, что он сегодня работает. (Он бы хотел, чтобы сегодня он не работал).
We wish it wasn’t raining all the time.
I wish you weren’t leaving.
Жаль, что все время идет дождь. (Хотелось бы, чтобы не шел дождь).
Жаль, что вы уезжаете. (Я бы хотел, чтобы вы не уезжали).
Оборот «I wish I were…»
К этому типу относятся предложения с «I wish I were…». В классической грамматике после любого местоимения в таких конструкциях глагол to be ставится в форму were.
Например, I wish I were rich. – Хотел бы я быть богатым. (Жаль, что я не богат).
Оборот «I wish» + Past Perfect
Используется, когда речь идет о прошлом. Выражает:
I wish I had seen the musical last month. – Жаль, что я не посмотрела этот мюзикл в прошлом месяце.
Jane wishes she had given Jack her telephone number. – Джейн сожалеет, что не дала Джеку свой номер телефона. (= Джейн надо было дать свой номер телефона Тому.)
I wish I could / could have
Предложения с «I wish» + could выражают мечты о настоящем (и будущем), пожелания о том, чтобы в будущем случилось что-то желаемое, но почти несбыточное; предложения с could have выражают сожаление о случившемся или не случившемся в прошлом (что уже нельзя изменить) из-за отсутствия такой возможности.
(мечта о переменах)
Перевод: «Хотелось бы…»
I wish I could move to the seaside.
Хотелось бы мне переехать жить к морю. (Но вряд ли это случится. Пока это просто мечта.)
I wish I could have + Past Participle (вторая форма глагола)
прошедшее (сожаление о чем-то из-за отсутствия возможности)
Жаль, что я мог ей помочь. Меня не было там. (Я не мог повлиять на ситуацию при всем желании.)
I wish + would + глагол в первой форме
Такая конструкция передает недовольство существующим положением дел, раздраженное желание изменить ситуацию в будущем, жалобу. Здесь нет сожаления, а акцент на недовольстве и раздражении. Перевод таких предложений обычно делается по смыслу (Хоть бы уже…, Да когда… и т.п.)
I wish she would stop being late! – Да когда же она перестанет опаздывать!
Еще один способ выразить сожаление
Приведем примеры в соответствии с порядком конструкций с «I wish». Вы сами легко сможете проследить аналогию (все предложения строятся так же, с теми же формами глаголов в придаточных).
If only he knew the truth! – Если бы только он знал правду! (=Хотел бы он знать правду! =Жаль, что он не знает правды).
If only he had listened to what we were telling him. – Если бы он только слушал тогда то, что мы ему говорили.
If only I could speak Polish. – Если бы только я умел говорить по-польски.
I wish I could have done all the work in time. – Хотел бы я выполнить тогда всю работу вовремя.
If only someone would buy the house. – Хоть бы кто-нибудь купил этот дом.
