Let’s talk about vacations. When you finally have some free time, you usually look
for nice places where to spend your vacation.
Thequestionis… Wherewillyougo? 
 

Now you know where to go. What’s next?

You can start making a list of the things you can do or want to do in each place.
For example:
In a big city, you can go shopping, to museums, restaurants, and other
interesting places.
Once you know what to do there, how will you get to the place?  There are
many ways to travel!
For example:
My family and I love to travel by car because we can stop wherever we want.
I prefer to go by plane because it's faster and safer.

 CLASE 4:

Part 1 / Language Building

Want to (quiero hacer)

There are many ways to talk about desires and needs. One of them is using the
verb want.  We can use it in two ways, depending on what comes after the
verb want.

1. Subjects: When a noun comes after the verb, it looks like this:

She doesn’t want a dog.

2. Actions: When the person wants to do an action, you need to add the
word to and another verb in its basic form.
Penny wants to become an actress.

In short:

Be going to (voy a hacer)

This expression is used to talk about future intentions. We use be going to when
we have the intention to do something before we speak. We have already decided
before speaking (cuando antes de hablar ya se ha decidido lo que se hará). Look
at these examples:

 I'm going to the beach tomorrow with my family.

 Jane is not going to paint his house this week. She is too busy.
