Graduation is next month! I need to make some plans now because when exams start, I won't have any free time. What am I going to do when I finish school? My roommate is going to take a vacation before she looks for a job. I can't do that because I need to earn some money soon. I think that after I graduate, I am going to take a word processing class. As soon as I learn word processing, I will look for a job as a bilingual office assistant. It's hard to find full-time jobs, though. Part-time jobs are easier to find. Maybe I'll take a part-time job after I find a good full-time one. Or maybe I'll take a workshop in making decisions before I do anything!

UppInt A: Answers- Unit 10/11
Please check your answers to the exercises below once you've finished. If you have any further questions, please let me know.
UNIT 10- Present simple and present continuous for the future
10.1
1. get (fixed event; will get is also possible)
2. will look after (less routine arrangement)
3. rains (with 'in case')
4. will give out (less routine arrangement)
5. goes (fixed event; 'will go' is also possible)
6. starts (fixed event; ' will start' is also possible)
7. stops (with 'provided')
8. will miss (prediction)
10. lend (with 'unless')
11. plays (fixed event; will play' is also possible)
12. will accept (prediction)
13. want (with 'supposing')
14. read (with 'by the time')
10.2
1.c (prediction perhaps based on opinion, experience or present evidence). 'will leave' and 'is going to leave' have a similar meaning here.
2. a (planned future event.) ' I'm going to buy' suggests an intention without a definite arrangement; I'm buying suggests a definite arrangement- perhaps the speaker has bought the car and is simply picking it up next week
3. b/c (offer; decision made at moment of speaking)
4. a (planned future event). 'I'm going to drive' suggests a personal intention; 'I'm driving' suggests a more definite arrangement- perhaps the speaker has been told to go there by their employer
5. c (permanent future situation). ' will cut' and 'is going to cut' have a similar meaning here.
6. b/c (promise; decision made at time of speaking)
7.a (planned future event). As the present continuous for the future suggests a definite arrangement, using 'I am serving lunch' in this context suggests ' ...and I am not changing what I plan to do', perhaps showing some irritation or annoyance.
8. c (no control over predicted event). 'will starve' and 'are going to starve' have a similar meaning here. However as, 'will' is often used to talk about future facts, it may express more certainty in this context.
10.3
1/ 1. is joining
2. will like/are going to like
3. is coming/comes
4.will give
