Pronunciation - Adjectives of description

We did some exercises on plans and arrangements.

We learnt that we can use either going to or present continuous for plans or arrangements. Although present continuous is the best choice when we talk about arrangements e.g.: going to the doctor’s, seeing friends etc.

 ·          Welcome to our summer camp. On Monday afternoon we’re taking you horse-riding. On Thursday we’re visiting London. (Arrangements)

 ·          Why are they carrying (present moment) tennis rackets? Because they’re going to play tennis.(plan or intention)

Finally, we reviewed the meaning of look for, look after and look forward.

We are having (arrangement) new classmates on Monday. And we are looking forward to meeting them.

This is it!
