    Vanessa’s Challenge Question
    Use the space below to write a few sentences answering this question.

    Using some of the phrases and vocabulary you learned in this lesson, write about
    your weekend plans using at least 3 of the phrases.

    Sample: This weekend, I am looking forward to going out of town to a new city I’ve
    never been to before. For me, I would rather visit new places than go to the same
    places over and over again. This doesn’t mean that I never visit the same place twice, it
    just means that sometimes visiting a new place can be a fun adventure.
