🔮 What's Going to Happen, What I'll Do: Will vs Be Going To

B1 Grammar Lesson 07 tackles the classic B1 challenge: when to use will and when to use be going to. Both express future time but from different mental positions. Built around a long main reading (over 1200 characters) about Bruno, a 15-year-old in São Paulo, who shows both forms in one evening — his year's plans written on the wall (be going to) versus his instant decision to fix his sister's broken wooden horse (will) — plus four shorter stories: Milla (Sweden, moving house), Darius (Romania, weather predictions), Reza (Iran, poetry competition), Chiara (Italy, sick puppy at the vet). Covers the two forms, the four classic uses (instant decisions, promises/opinions, plans, evidence-based predictions), a side-by-side comparison of identical scenarios showing how the form changes meaning, a quick decision flow, signal words for each form, and three common B1 mistakes (will for plans, be going to for instant decisions, will for visible-evidence predictions). Reading colour-coded in two categories. Includes 6 flashcards, 8 practice MCQs, partner speaking with model dialogue, 80–100 word writing task using both forms, and a 10-question quiz with localStorage.
