4A diary entry and a plan
Saturday, 14th June. Today I visited my aunt in Matara. We went to the beach and ate ice cream. I saw a big ship. I was very happy.
Tomorrow I will write a letter to my aunt. I will not (won't) forget to thank her. Will you write to your relatives too?
Future: will + base verb for every subject: I will go, she will go.
