Francesco: Sachi? Sachi? Sachiko! 

Sachi: Francesco! Is everything OK?

Francesco: Yes. Yes. Sorry, I saw you and I was across the street … I ran.

Sachi: I see. What's up?

Francesco: Do you have the tickets … for the play?

Sachi: No, I don't. I'm going to buy them this afternoon.

Francesco: Oh good, good. Listen, don't buy tickets for this Friday.

Sachi: Oh? Why not?

Francesco: I can't go to the theatre on Friday. Something's come up. I have a concert this Friday.

Sachi: Another concert? But you said …

Francesco: I know, I know. I'm sorry. I forgot.

Sachi: Francesco! 

Francesco: How about next week? Are you free then? I can definitely go next Friday.

Sachi: Francesco. You did this two weeks ago, remember? I had cinema tickets for the new Marvel movie and you changed the plans then too. For band practice.

Francesco: I know, and I …

Sachi: We also missed my favourite dance group. Because your band was playing at some child's birthday party.

Francesco: It was my nephew's birthday …

Sachi: Ha! 

Francesco: OK, why don't we go out for dinner before my concert? Then, next Friday we can go to the play.

Sachi: Oh …

Francesco: Come on, Sachi. Just this one more time.

Sachi: OK, but promise me next Friday. OK?

I once made plans for a reunion with my high school friends because it had been a long time since we met, and we missed each other. We planned to meet at a restaurant near the high school, but some of us had other plans on the same day, so we decided to reschedule the reunion to another day. The reunion on that day was very fun, and I hope we can have another reunion someday.

Hello everyone, I am Bunga Anggaraeni Saputri. I am a student at a university, and I am from Indonesia. I am pleased to join here, I would like to join in this discussion.

I always have a plan for my free time. Every Sunday, I spend time with my family, such as going shopping with my mother or having a meal with my family. Besides that, I also enjoy spending time alone by going to the movies. Since I really love watching films, I make sure to watch a movie every week. Watching in the cinema or on my phone.

I think we should have a plan for our free time, as it can serve as a form of self-healing.

Do you make lots of plans for your free time?

Yes, I always make lots of plans when I have a free time, especially on Saturday and Sunday I often make a plan like hanging out with my friends, and sometimes I go to shopping at the supermarket. Honestly, after completing my plan and, If there is any remaining time, I will spend lots of time sleeping. But about 1 weeks ago, I planned to learn for mid semester test because I have mid semester test from 30th September to 4th October.

That's all from me, I hope this answer can be my best discussion for the first time. Thank you...

Do you make lots of plans for your free time?

Yes, I do. Many times it involves things that I can do on my house and I focus on the most important first, for example, clean the house, go to grocery, cook my lunch for every day at work, do the laundry, and then, when I finish that, I go out to the cinema or watch a movie or my favorite serie, or something to get fun.

I always try to mix both kind of things: what I must do as a duties  and what I want to do for fun.
