Speaking Practice

Now make plans for all the evenings next week from Sunday to Saturday, but leave two free evenings when other people can make plans for you. Also make plans involving two other students in the class.

Ask the other students what they are doing on the days when you have made plans for them. They may tell you that they are doing something else. If you are lucky, they may be free and you will have a date.
