Hi Jessica,
Thanks for your email. You asked me about my future plans. It’s my
last year at school so I’m going to 1grow up / go to university and
study modern languages next year. After that, I’ll probably 2get my
first job / have a change of career. I want to be a tour guide and
travel around the world. But after a few years, I’ll probably come back
to Britain and 3emigrate / settle down. My boyfriend and I will
probably get 4engaged / divorced one day too. Then, of course, we’ll
5
pass away / get married, and I’ll invite you to the wedding! Anyway,
what about you? What are your future plans?
