Task 1: Read the conversation between Joyce and David. Underline the personal future chunks you learnt in the previous week. How many can you find?
*David: Gee, thank God it’s Friday!
*Joyce: Yes. You can say that again. What a week! Only a few more hours and then we can celebrate the weekend!
*So. Doing anything nice for the weekend?
*Oh yes. I’m going to Wulai on Saturday.
*Oh great. Alone or with friends.
*Well, I’m going with my boyfriend. He’s got a motorbike so we’ll be driving up there together. Then we want to stay in a hot spring hotel for the night.
*Oh wow? Which one?
*Don’t know yet. We’re just going to see which one we like. We both need to get out of the city. So we’re coming back Sunday late afternoon.
*Sounds great. What about Sunday night?
*Oh, I’ll probably be rather tired, so I’ll probably just stay home. I might get a DVD or something. Have an early night. But hey, what are your plans for the weekend.
*Well, I’m going to play football on Saturday morning.
*Oh right. Is this like a regular thing you do?
*Yes. We play every Saturday morning, and then we’re going to have a hotpot lunch together. Saturday night I’m going to a party in Gong Guan. Some friends of mine moved into a new apartment so they’re having a housewarming party. Should be fun.
*Sounds great. What about Sunday night?
*Oh, I’ll probably have a hang over, so I probably won’t be doing much Sunday morning. Have a lie in and spend the day relaxing. I might go to the movies with my roommate in the evening. We usually go to the movies on Sunday night, but I don’t know what we’re going to see. We’re thinking of going to see the new Ang Lee movie.
*Oh yes it’s good.
*So what are you doing later tonight? Want to have a drink together?
*I’d love to, but I can’t make it. I’m meeting my boyfriend for a late dinner.
*Oh. Ok. I’ll go by myself then.
