Unit 7 Your weekend
2 Planning expressions
Listen to Gavin talking about his plans of the weekend.
Tick the expressions you hear.
Well,tonight I guess I'll probably just stay in
and have a quite night in front of the telly.
I'm a bit too tired to do anything really.
Then on Saturday morning,I'm going to try to get up really early
and go off and play football with some mates of mine in the park,which should be fun.
Then,Saturday afternoon,unfortunately,
I've got to do some things around the house,because the place is a tip at the moment.
Then,Saturday night,I've got a big night
because a friend's having a party at her place and karen's going to be there.
And Sunday morning I imagine I'll need to have a lie-in just to recover,really,
and then in the afternoon,I've got a friend coming over.
And then,finally,Sunday night,
I guess I'll probably just stay in and have an early night.

Thank goodness it's Friday!
Thank goodnes it's Friday!This week's been dragging on forever.
Tell me about it!So,what are you up to this weekend? Oh,nothing special,really.
This evening,I'm just going out for dinner with my parents. Oh,that should be nice.
Yes,we've going to this little French place near where I live.
The food's great there,
and then tomorrow I've got to get up really early-at least for me!-
and do some cooking,because I've got some people coming over in the afternoon.
And I'll have to give the place a really good clean as well.
And,I'm not sure,but I think we'll probably be going out after that
-to see a film or something.We haven't reall planned anything.
What about yourself?
Well,tonight I'm supposed to be going out with some people from my old job,
but I don't really feel like it any more.I'm feeling really tired.
So,you're just going to stay in,then?
Yes,because tomorrow night I've got a big night.
I'm going to my friends Pete and Rachel's party.It's on a boat.
Oh,that sounds great.Whereabouts?
Down by the river.You know,in the docks.
Oh yes,I know where you mean.I went to a party there myself a while ago.
Right.Is it OK down there?
Yes,it's great,but it's not all that big.There's not that much room on the boat.
Mm,sounds cosy!
Oh,yes,you can get really colse to people!Lots of sweaty bodies!
I don't think it's going to be that sort of party!
Well,you never know.If you're lucky,it might become one!
