Tim: Oh, hi Dave! What are you doing here?

Dave: Oh, I've joined the Eco-helpers club.

Tim: Oh yeah, I've heard about that. Sally collects rubbish for recycling in the park every Saturday morning, doesn't she?

Dave: That's right. She's been doing that for a month. I've been building nesting boxes.

Tim: Nesting boxes?

Dave: Well, there aren't many trees left in the city for birds to build their nests. If we don't help them, they will have to leave the city.

Tim: That's interesting. What else have you been doing?

Dave: We've been planting trees and cleaning out ponds for a week now that the weather's good.

Tim: Your club sounds wonderful. I could join as well, couldn't I?

Dave: Of course you could. We really need volunteers, but you have to see Miss Jackson first. She'll tell you what to do.

Tim: Sounds great! I'll join first thing Monday morning.

How are you? I hope you are free this weekend , I have a tempting offer for you

I have a great idea what to do this Saturday at 2 pm . We are going to a symphony concert , I was there and I really liked it , they will play Beethoven ! There will be:flutes, oboes, clarinet, tuba, crackling drums, rattling cymbals, many other percussion and noise instruments , harp and grand piano.

in general, the concert will be large-scale. The musicians came from Russia.

We will meet at 11 am near the bus stop and go from there to the city , have a snack in a cafe , because the concert will last 1.5 hours , we will be hungry . after the concert, we can take a walk in the park , the weather will be good , we will ride on the rides. It's going to be a busy day.

is this a great idea ? what do you think about a great weekend ? I am very much waiting for an answer !
