Hi! I had a great weekend. On Saturday I went to town with my sister. It was windy so we played with my kite in the park. We had lunch in an internet cafe. After that, we went to the History Museum. On Sunday afternoon, I went to the cinema with my dad. We watched the new Harry Potter film. It was cool. I went to bed really late! What time did you go to bed? Did you watch a film at the weekend? Write back and tell me what you did. Love, Tim

2 Write back to Tim.

writing Reading and

Describing future plans

1 Underline the two correct sentences. 1 Sandra is going to visit Scotland in the spring. 2 She’s going to ride camels. 3 She’s going to swim in the sea. 4 Philip is going to go to Ireland in the spring. 5 He’s going to go to his granny’s house. 6 He’s going to play volleyball with his cousins. Philip is going to go to Ireland in the summer. He’s going to visit his granny in her house near the sea. Philip’s cousins are going to play volleyball on the beach, but Philip isn’t going to play because he doesn’t like volleyball. He’s going to collect shells instead.

Sandra is going to go to Scotland in the spring. She’s going to ride horses. She’s also going to go to the beach, but she isn’t going to swim. That’s because the sea is too cold and the weather is often windy.

2 Rewrite Jenny’s words. Use the punctuation tips from Units 1–6. my names jenny im going to go to wales in the autumn im going to visit my friend mary in September im going to stay at marys house for the weekend on saturday its her birthday were going to have a party in the afternoon and then were going to watch a dvd im going to go back home on sunday ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 31
