Tom the teacher
Tom:Hi,I'm Tom.At the end of every podcast you'll hear from
me.I'm ing to talk about some of the language you heard in the programmes and
talk about ways to help you learn English.
Remember Carolina
in the airport?Listen to part of her conversation again.
Immigration Officer:Is this your first visit to the UK?
Carolina:Yes
it is.
Immigration Officer:And what are you going to do here?
Carolina:I'm a
student.I'm going to study at the University
of Newcastle.
Tom:Carolina and the Immigration Officer are
talking about the future - Carolina's time in Britain.To
talk about the future they both use 'going to'.The Immigraon Officer says
" And what are you going to do here?" and Carolina says " I'm
going to study at the University of Newcastle ".They both used 'going to'
to talk about the future because they are talking about plans.When the
Immigration Officer says " What are you going to do here?" he's
asking Carolina
what her plan is.
And she says " I'm going to study " because that's her plan - she
decided it before she left Venezuela.
So,we use " going to " to talk about future plans.
But listen to another part of Carolina's
conversation.
Immigration Officer:Thank you.And how long is the course?How long do you intend
to stay in the country?
Carolina:Three
years.
Immigration Officer:Three years.Hmm.
Carolina:Yes,
that's right.
Immigration Officer:Do you intend to work in this country?
Carolina:Oh no,no,I'm not going to work,well maybe in the university holidays,
but the British Embassy in Caracas said that was OK.
