The document discusses the differences between using "will" and "going to" to talk about the future. "Will" is used to express uncertainty or things believed to be true in the far future, as well as decisions made currently and general predictions. "Going to" is used when making predictions based on evidence, expressing definite plans, and talking about imminent actions in the near future.

2. My Plans for the Evening
I have decided!, after class today, I’m going to get some
drinks with my friends. We are going to take Mike to
celebrate his birthday. We will have a very good time!
After that, I hope, I’ll do some homework in a coffee shop.
Around 6:00, I’ll go home and cook dinner. A movie that I
want to see is playing at 7:30 tonight, so I’m going to watch
it. It will end around 9:15. After it ends, I think I’ll clean
up my kitchen. I will be in bed by 10:00.
