II. Content:
Language:
- be going to and future time expressions.
- vacation activities
Content Development:
Be going to
It’s going to be difficult to get a job during the summer as the tourist industry is
suffering from the economic downturn.
Intentions
We use be going to to talk about future plans and intentions. Usually the
decision about the future plans has already been made:
Predictions
It’s going to snow again soon. (The speaker can probably see dark snow
clouds.)
Commands
[parent to a child]
You’re going to pick up all of those toys right now. This room is a mess!
Spoken English:
Are you gonna try and get stuff sorted as soon as you can then? (Are you going
to try and get things organised as soon as you can?)
Be going to or will?
Will is often used in a similar way to be going to. Will is used when we are
talking about something with absolute certainty. Be going to is used when we
want to emphasise our decision or the evidence in the present:
We are now very late so we’re going to take the ‘B’ road. (the speaker refers to
the present and emphasises the decision)
I know the ‘B’ road will be quicker at this time of day. (the speaker states a
fact)
Expressions of Time
the day after tomorrow Joy is moving the day The week after next
(two days after today) after tomorrow. (week)
this year
this weekend

Jacob- Hey Janice! How was your trip? You had been to Goa lately, hadn't you?
Janice- Yes. I must say I had a ball. Goa was amazing; however, it was the
train journey that actually made my trip all the more special.
Jacob- Oh! You took the train; don't you usually go by flight?
Janice- Yes, I do. But I have just realized how much I missed every time I
traveled to Goa by flight. You have no clue how much fun the entire twelve-
hour journey was.
Janice- Well, we entered the train and found that almost half of our bogie was
filled with youngsters heading towards Goa. All in big groups, singing and
making merry! That was the first time I've ever experienced something as lively
as that. On a serious note, it felt like the partying had begun from the train
itself.

Jacob- That's great! All the party people in one bogie. Ha- ha!
Janice- Yes. Soon enough the train started and before I could know, I was
talking to the other folks in our compartment as well. Friendly and nice people.
Jacob- Superb,right?
Janice- It certainly was. As the journey continued we all were discussing Goa
and that's when I got diverted toward the scenic views through which our train
was passing, beautiful and mesmerizing. The lakes, the bridges, the greeneries;
everything had a charm of its own. Jacob, I can't express how much fun I had
throughout my journey and in barely any time, we had reached.
Jacob- After listening to you, I wish I would have joined you guys too. I
definitely missed a great, great trip.

Situation: Lucy and Andrew are talking about their end of year holiday.
Andrew: We saw the Great Wall and other interesting places such as old
palaces, as well as pandas. They were really interesting!
Lucy: I have been to Beijing once to attend a conference, but I didn’t have time
to travel around.
Andrew: Too bad. You could have stayed longer. It’s not difficult to find cheap
hotels in Beijing.
Andrew: Yes, it was a great budget hotel. The room was clean and it offered
free drinks, fruit and snacks every day. How about your holiday?
