Listening: A Conversation About Weekend Plans
A conversation about weekend plans is an A2 listening text in the social-dialogue genre. The audio covers two friends comparing weekend plans — proposed activities, agreement and disagreement, time arrangements, last-minute changes. Learners practise tracking two voices, catching specific times and places, and recognising the casual register of everyday social English.
This worksheet builds A2 listening comprehension through a casual social-dialogue.
