It’s great you’ll be here this weekend. Here’s the plan. First, we’re going to play football. After that mum and dad are going to take us out to a pizza restaurant. In the evening – computer games! On Sunday, we’re going to sleep late. Then we’re going to go mountain biking with Dad. I’m sure it’ll be cool. Do you like this plan?
