Explanation

Planning questions: When will it be? Where will people go? What food will there be? Future: “In spring people will celebrate Navruz.” “They will cook sumalak and wear national clothes.” “Will the weather be warm?” — “Yes, it will.” Navruz is the spring holiday celebrated on 21 March. In spring in Tashkent there can be tree-planting events, bread festivals and cultural events in the streets. A saying: “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” (attributed to Augustine of Hippo). Give your opinion: “I agree because travelling teaches us new things.”

Worked examples

— What will people do on Navruz? — They will visit relatives and cook special food. — Will it be sunny? — I hope so.
