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?
Francesco: I promise. I promise!
Yes, I make many plans for my free time. I go hiking with my husband. Sometimes we go to the movies or the theater. Other times we go out to eat at restaurants or cafes. And twice a month we take a trip.
It’s so hard to invite people to artistic events. People don’t want to try something new, but I keep trying. I never give up.
I really love this website. When I first star listening to audios my Ielts score was 4-4.5 now it's 6.5. I personally believe this web had helped a lot of people already.
Hello Aki-.-,
That's great! It's good to know we're helping people. Good luck with your further studies!

Honestly, no I don't, I used to just make plans for studying or working but not for entertainment, I think it'll be a really good idea to avoid wasting my free time thinking what do I should do.

I schedule many things for my spare time and I try do all of them but if I can't do some of them I do it in next day. I read a book, watch a movie and visit our family in my leisure time.
Yes, I do. I make a lot of plans with my family. For example, we go to a concert, to the movies, to the park.
