Unit 12 Looking ahead.

Lesson A. What’s next?

1 Getting started.

A Listen and read. Do you have the same plans as any of these people?

What are your plans for next year?

1. Christy Lewis.

Well, I’m graduating from college next June, so I guess I’ll look for a job. I know it won’t be easy to find one, so I may go on for a master’s degree. We’ll see.

1. Laura Chang.

I’m not sure. I might look for a better job. Before that, though, I’m going to ask my boss for a promotion. But I probably won’t get one, so…

1. Paul Reade.

Well, my friends are going to travel around Europe for two months. I hope I’ll be able to go with them. But it’ll be expensive, and I might not be able to afford it.

1. Jim and Katie Conley.

We’re going to have a baby in March, so both of us will probably take some time off from work. I’m sure the baby will keep us both very busy.

1. Joe Etta.

I’m going to retire, I’ll be 65 in June, and my wife’s already retired. So we’ll probably move to Florida in the fall, or maybe Arizona. We won’t spend another winter here, that’s for sure!”
