3. Read the dialog and find out Ashton’s future plans. Then, share them with your friends as in
the example.

Harper Hi, Ashton. How are you doing?
Ashton Well, all is fine, Harper. I have just a couple of months left for my graduation from the college.
Harper How does that make you feel?
Ashton I’m pretty excited and can’t wait for it.
Harper Do you have any plans for the following months?
Ashton I miss my parents a lot. I want to visit them in Chicago in June.
Harper For how long?
Ashton I can stay there only for two weeks because I have a meeting with the Atlatics’ manager then. I also
want to start exercising again. I’m planning to attend a language course at the same time and read
lots of books on history.
Harper Wow, sounds great! A meeting with the manager for the practical training?
Ashton Yup! Exactly. I must have a practical training next August. Everything will be great.
Harper For sure.
Ashton What about you? Is everything all right? Any plans coming up?
Harper Hmm… I’m in a hurry right now. What about calling you and having a chat on this later?
Ashton No worries. Talk to you soon!

E.g. Ashton is going to graduate from the college in a couple of months.
