Exercise 2
Choose the correct words to fill the gaps
Choosing the right future form before a school trip
Tomorrow our class is leaving for London at 6 a.m. The coach timetable says it leaves from the school gate at exactly 6.15. Our teacher thinks the journey will take about five hours, but nobody is completely sure yet.
A busy Saturday morning
Mum has already bought the ingredients, so she is going to bake a chocolate cake this afternoon. While she is in the kitchen, I am meeting Sam at the sports centre at two. If we finish early, we will help her decorate the cake before dinner.
Planning a class project
Our group has discussed the project all week, and we are going to make a podcast about climate change. Emma has booked the library room, so we are recording there after school on Wednesday. I am sure the final result will impress our English teacher.
At the train station
Look at those dark clouds. It is going to rain before we get home. The information board says our train arrives on platform 4 at 18.22. Don’t worry about the heavy bag; I will carry it for you.
Organising a charity event
Next Friday we are holding a charity quiz in the school hall. The poster says the event starts at 7 p.m. and ends at 9.30. I think a lot of parents will come because the cause is important to them.
Making decisions during a picnic
We have plenty of sandwiches, so we are not going to buy any more food. Lisa has texted us, and she is joining us in the park at one o’clock. The sun is shining now, but I think it will get colder later in the afternoon.
Discussing duties at home
Dad, shall I wash the car before lunch, or do you need it now? My sister has arranged everything, and she is babysitting our cousin tonight. According to the weather app, the temperature will drop below zero after midnight.
A day at the science museum
Our class is visiting the science museum next Tuesday because the teachers booked the tickets last month. The museum website says the first workshop begins at 10.30. I’m sure we will learn something surprising about robotics there.
Preparing for exam week
I have made a detailed study plan, so I am going to revise every evening this week. On Thursday my study partner and I are meeting in the library after school. If we follow the plan, we will feel much calmer before the English test.
Getting ready for a family celebration
Grandma turns seventy on Sunday, and the whole family is coming to our house for lunch. The meal starts at one o’clock, according to the message in the family group chat. I forgot to buy flowers, but I will get some on my way home from school tomorrow.
