Hello!!

This is the answer key to the revision worksheet that you did yesterday in class - with grammar and vocabulary exercises.

Ambitions and plans: What do you want to do?

Write 3 things that you really want to do, following the structures from this morning.

These are my plans/ambitions:

- I'm planning to have a holiday in Asia this summer. I've never been there so I'm really looking forward to it.

- I hope to see Mumford and Sons live one day. It's my favourite band!

- I would like to learn to scuba dive, but I think I'd find it claustrophobic and scary!

Verbs + to + infinitive
