Vacation in Costa Rica

(1) Joanne: Listen
Can you finish up the PowerPoint by the end of next week? I'll be using it in my report.

"I'll be using it in my report" is in future continuous tense. It's talking about her plan, and it's very similar to "I'll use it in my report" (Simple future).

(2) Dave: Listen
Oh, I'm not working on the PowerPoint. Marcy is. I'm taking a two-week vacation starting next Monday.

"Marcy is" = "Marcy is working on the PowerPoint." "I'm taking a two-week vacation" is in present continuous, but it's for his future plan. If you are sure about your plan, you can use the present continuous.

(3) Joanne: Listen
Wow, how nice! Where are you going?
(4) Dave: Listen
I'll be flying to Costa Rica on Monday. I've always wanted to go to Costa Rica, but I've been too busy.
(5) Joanne: Listen
Good for you. You [vocab word=deserve]deserve[/vocab] it.

Dave has worked hard. He earned the vacation. He "deserves" it (It's good that he goes to vacation).

(6) Dave: Listen
Thanks for that.
(7) Joanne: Listen
Where will you be staying in Costa Rica?
(8) Dave: Listen
I'll be staying in a little [vocab word=lodge]lodge[/vocab] near the beach. It has a beautiful pool and it's close to a [vocab word=gorgeous]gorgeous[/vocab] [vocab word=waterfall]waterfall[/vocab].
(9) Joanne: Listen
What will you be doing in Costa Rica?
(10) Dave: Listen
Many things. My schedule is [vocab word=packed]packed[/vocab]! I'll be going on a [vocab word=whale]whale-watching[/vocab] [vocab word=cruise]cruise[/vocab] on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I'll be enjoying a day at the beach.
(11) Joanne: Listen
I hear there is a week-long [vocab word=fiesta]fiesta[/vocab] in January.

A fiesta is a religious festival. It's in Spanish-speaking countries.

(12) Dave: Listen
Yes, that's true. It's in Santa Cruz, and there will be a lot of singing, dancing, and food. I'll probably join the fiesta on Thursday.
(13) Joanne: Listen
I'll be working on my report when you call me. Gosh, I [vocab word=envy]envy[/vocab] you so much!

"I'll be working on my report" is the main clause. "When you call me" is the subordinate clause. We usually use the present tense in the subordinate clause if the main clause is in future continuous.

(14) Dave: Listen
Well, next year, take a vacation in January. Let's go to Costa Rica together.
(15) Joanne: Listen
Sounds like a plan.
