INT D: Answers to Future Time Clauses Exercises

#4- Editing

Graduation is next month! I need to make some plans now because when exams will start, I won't have any free time. What am I going to do when I will finish school? My roommate is going to take a vacation before she will looks for a job. I can't do that because I need to earn some money soon. I think that after I will 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 full 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!
