It’s time to smile and be happy, because "Side by Side" has another enjoyable lesson for you! This time it's all about feelings and emotions.

Here you can hear lots of examples featuring the "going to" future, with sentences starting with "I'm going to" or "I'm gonna." We meet Lance, who has no plans to wash his clothes any time soon, and a businessman who runs us rapidly through his hectic schedule.
