Then, take Quiz 20. Listen to the audio about my future plans. Now do the same for you. You can talk about your future plans, what you're doing tonight, tomorrow at work, etc. You don't have to be as extensive as I am, but I want you to try! Record yourself. Use the audio script below to help you prepare

I’m really looking forward to tonight because one of my friends is having a party and all my friends are going. I’m going to get ready in a few minutes, but I don’t know what I’m going to wear yet.

Then tomorrow, I’m meeting my dad and we’re going shopping for a present for my mom. It’s her birthday next weekend, and we’re having dinner in a really expensive restaurant on Saturday night. It’ll be nice to have all the family together.

I’ve started thinking about my holiday, too. It’s in eight weeks, but I’m going to book the flights soon and my friend Carlos is booking the hotel. We’re going to Croatia. The weather in July is usually good – hot and dry – so I’m going to take lots of sunscreen. We’re going to spend all our time sunbathing and going clubbing. I can’t wait!

I know I won’t want to come back to work after that. Actually, I’m a bit bored at work so maybe I’ll start looking for a new job soon. Or even go back to college. It’ll be expensive, but I’m sure it’ll help me get a better job in the end.

Now take the audio Quiz 20:
