Note: "How's" can mean either "How is" or "How has." In this conversation, it means "How has." A: How's your summer been so far? B: I haven't really done much yet. A: Have you been to the beach? B: Yes, I went there last weekend. I want to go a few more times before the summer is over. What about you? Do you have any plans for the rest of the summer? A: I'll probably have a barbecue or two. I'd like to go to an amusement park at least once. And I want to see some fireworks. B: I'm going to see the fireworks at the park next Saturday with some friends. Why don't you come with us? A: Next Saturday? Thanks, but I can't. I have dinner plans with some friends. I'll probably see the fireworks at the end of August. B: That's OK, no problem. I am thinking of going to waterslide pools next Sunday. Are you interested? A: Sure, sounds like fun! Let's practice I'm going have a barbecue next Saturday. I'll probably have beach party next Sunday or Monday. I might go camping if the weather is nice and if I'm not too tired. I'd like to go on a trip overseas but I probably won't have enough money. I'm not going to go on a long trip by car this year. More from ELT Podcast on www.eltpodcast.com
