The brief
The lesson defines making plans as deciding what to do, when to do it, and where to meet, then builds from simple invitations.
Learners practice asking about availability, suggesting days and times, choosing meeting places, confirming arrangements, and postponing details when needed.
The central skill is handling change politely: the lesson covers unexpected problems, cancellations, rescheduling, supportive replies, and explanations for running late.
The scope expands to group plans, flexible choices, weekend activities, weather-based backup plans, and inviting someone to join an existing arrangement.
Three practice dialogues bring the language together through lunch and a walk, a changed dinner time, and a cancellation followed by rescheduling.
