Let's Watch the Cherry Blossom

(1) Jackie:

Listen

The [vocab word=weekend]weekend[/vocab] is almost here.

(2) Bella:

Listen

Finally! I had a really tough week.

Her week was very difficult. She is tired.

(3) Jackie:

Listen

What are your plans for the weekend?

(4) Bella:

Listen

I will get a lot of sleep, first. Then, I will go to High Park.

High Park is a famous park near Downtown Toronto.

(5) Jackie:

Listen

What's in High Park?

(6) Bella:

Listen

I will watch the [vocab word=cherry blossom]cherry blossom[/vocab] with my friends.

(7) Jackie:

Listen

It's too early for cherry blossom. There won't be any cherry blossom.

"Cherry blossom" is either countable or uncountable. Here, it is uncountable. Won't = will not

(8) Bella:

Listen

There will be some cherry blossom. It's pretty [vocab word=warm]warm[/vocab] this year.

"pretty" means "fairly" (an adverb of degree). It's common in spoken language.

(9) Jackie:

Listen

Will there be many people in High Park?

(10) Bella:

Listen

No, there won't be many people. Most people will go to High Park next week. There will be more cherry blossom next week.

Won't = will not

(11) Jackie:

Listen

I see. Will it be sunny, [vocab word=though]though[/vocab]? It's pretty [vocab word=cloudy]cloudy[/vocab] now.

(12) Bella:

Listen

The weather [vocab word=forecast]forecast[/vocab] said it will be sunny. It won't be [vocab word=rainy]rainy[/vocab] for sure.

"it" is a dummy subject. It doesn't have a meaning. We use "it" for the weather and time. "It is sunny", "It is 4 o'clock" for example.

(13) Jackie:

Listen

What will you and your friends do there?

(14) Bella:

Listen

We'll have a [vocab word=picnic]picnic[/vocab]. We'll also play some volleyball and [vocab word=take]take[/vocab] some [vocab word=photo]photos[/vocab].

(15) Jackie:

Listen

It sounds fun.

(16) Bella:

Listen

Do you have any plans?

(17) Jackie:

Listen

I will just watch some TV and sleep.

(18) Bella:

Listen

Come and [vocab word=join]join[/vocab] us.

(19) Jackie:

Listen

Are you sure?

(20) Bella:

Listen

Of course! I'll come to your house by 10. We’ll drive there together.

I'll = I will. We'll = We will. "By 10" means "before 10 or at 10".

(21) Jackie:

Listen

I can't wait!

Jackie is very excited about the trip.
