When I finish university I want to do lots of things! I am going to travel abroad to spend some time in France. I want to improve my French and I think I will improve if I spend a few months living in a small town in the South of France. I am going to practice guitar every day because I won’t have to study every day. It is going to be so great! I am going to go to the beach every morning and swim in the sea. I am going to spend a lot of money there but I think I will be okay.

Hi Zoe, Thanks for your email! This is just a quick message beacuse I´m meeting Alison at the gym in a few minutes. Anywhay, here´s what I need to know. Are you still going to Dave´s barbecue on Saturday afeternoon? I hop so, because i think we will have a great time! What do you think the weather will be like? If it´s warm, I will wear my new shorts. I´m going to call Dave this evening to ask him what we should bring with us. I´ll text you later when I get back from the gym. Bye for now! Paula.

I am excited about next weekend! Our plane leaves the airport at 9,30 of the morning. On Saturday, my family and I are going to drive to the city and visit my grandparents. My grandparents have a big dog, so I will play with the it outside. In the evening, we will probably go out for a big dinner. On Sunday, we are going to have a lot of fun because we are going to the beach. By the time we are in the beach, we will have eaten our sandwich. On Monday, we plan to go to the mountains and go hiking. Then, in the afternoon, we might see a movie with my aunt and uncle. At night, we will come home and I will have done my homework before I go to bed.

• When you get home, I will be watching the TV because I will have finished doing my school homework.
• The train leaves at 11,15.
• Before she does the First Certificate exam, she will studyso hard to get the best mark.
• In three weeks, I will have been working as a engineer in a very famous industry.
• We will be tidying the room, before the bell rings.
