Francesco: Sachi? Sachi? Sachiko!
Sachi: Francesco! Is everything OK?
Francesco: Yes. Yes. Sorry, I saw you and I was across the street … I ran.
Sachi: I see. What's up?
Francesco: Do you have the tickets … for the play?
Sachi: No, I don't. I'm going to buy them this afternoon.
Francesco: Oh good, good. Listen, don't buy tickets for this Friday.
Sachi: Oh? Why not?
Francesco: I can't go to the theatre on Friday. Something's come up. I have a concert this Friday.
Sachi: Another concert? But you said …
Francesco: I know, I know. I'm sorry. I forgot.
Sachi: Francesco!
Francesco: How about next week? Are you free then? I can definitely go next Friday.
Sachi: Francesco. You did this two weeks ago, remember? I had cinema tickets for the new Marvel movie and you changed the plans then too. For band practice.
Francesco: I know, and I …
Sachi: We also missed my favourite dance group. Because your band was playing at some child's birthday party.
Francesco: It was my nephew's birthday …
Sachi: Ha!
Francesco: OK, why don't we go out for dinner before my concert? Then, next Friday we can go to the play.
Sachi: Oh …
Francesco: Come on, Sachi. Just this one more time.
Sachi: OK, but promise me next Friday. OK?
Francesco: I promise. I promise!
Discussion
Do you make lots of plans for your free time?
=> I used to be disorganised, which meant I did everything whithout planning things in advance. But these days, I've learnt about personal journal so I try to stick to it every day to make sure that I can keep my life organised and keep track of everything.
I usually don’t make a lot of plans for my free time, I prefer to stay at home and occasionally go to a cafe and catch up with close friends.
In fact, a few times I do plans, because I love to stay at home do nothing every time
Do you make lots of plans for your free time? Yeah, but I prefer to make plans myself. For example, when I have free time, I usually stay home and read something, draw, and try to relax.
Sometimes, I make plans with my best friend, and we go to the cinema.
Yes, I make lots of plans with myself. I want my free time to be enjoyed by myself. Because I rarely have free time, I want it to be for myself.
More or less, generally I've spent my time studing and make some tasks in my house.
Do you make lots of plans for your free time?
I rarely missed oppotunities to make plans with my babies when I have free time. We take adventage to go city central, discover some where, try some strange food, street food. That are excited expriences together.

Oh yes, I usually make lots of plans. Every week I try to relax a bit and make fewer plans, but it's always the same situation: a new movie in a cinema, our good friend's stand-up, visiting the supermarket and market, a jazz concert in the bar, and so on. I can't complain about it because I think that a full life looks like this. I enjoy it!
