# --description--
The verb `discuss` means to talk about something with someone to share information or ideas. For example, if you say, `Let's discuss our plans for the weekend`, you are suggesting having a conversation about what each of you would like to do on the weekend.
The word `upcoming` is an adjective used to describe something that will happen soon. An example is `We have an upcoming meeting on Monday.` This means that there is a meeting scheduled to happen on Monday.
The verb `think` means considering something, to form opinions, or to imagine. For instance, `I need to think about your question before I answer.` It indicates you want to take some time to consider or reflect on the question to give a thoughtful response.

# --description--
This task introduces the use of `to be going to` for planned future events. This expression indicates a decision about the future made before speaking.
For example: `We are going to use a framework for the front-end` indicates a decision already made about the project.
`Will` is different. People use `will` for decisions they make while they are speaking.
Like, `I will help you with your homework` is a decision made at that moment.
# --question--
## --text--
Which sentence correctly uses `to be going to` for a planned future event?
## --answers--
`I am going to meet my friend tomorrow. We planned it last week.`
---
`I will probably go to the store later. I decided it three days ago.`
### --feedback--
This sentence uses `will`, which is more appropriate for spontaneous decisions made at the moment of speaking, not for pre-planned events.
---
`Tomorrow, I am going to start a new book. I decided on it just now.`
### --feedback--
`Going to` is typically used for plans made before speaking. This sentence indicates a decision made immediately, so `will` would be more appropriate.
---
`We will have a meeting next week. It was scheduled yesterday.`
### --feedback--
The plan was made before speaking, so `going to` is more appropriate, not `will`.

What does Brian say about the front-end development of the project?

## --text--
Why does Sarah think they need a dedicated UX designer for the project?
## --answers--
Because the project is simple and requires minimal design effort

Sarah mentions the project is complex, implying it requires significant design expertise, not minimal effort.
---
Because it's a complex project and a UX designer will enhance the user experience

Because they need to reduce the overall cost of the project

Reducing costs isn't mentioned. Sarah's focus is on the complexity of the project and improving the user experience.

`As for` is an element used to shift the focus to another topic or aspect of the discussion.

## --text--
Based on the dialogue, which sentence shows the correct use of `going to` based on present evidence?
## --answers--
`We will probably use React since it's a popular choice these days.`

`I think we will go with Node.js for the backend, considering our team's expertise.`
### --feedback--
Here, `will` is used for a future action based on a current situation, but `going to` would be more appropriate as the decision seems based on the team's present expertise.

`Cost-effective` means providing good value or return in relation to the money spent or effort put in. It's often used to describe a strategy or method that is efficient and economical. For example, `Using email campaigns is a cost-effective way to reach customers.`
To `reach` in marketing means to come into contact with or communicate with a target group. Like saying, `Our ads reach thousands of people daily.`
`Broader` means wider or more extensive. In a marketing context, it refers to targeting a wider range of people. For instance, `Expanding our social media presence will attract a broader audience.`
An `audience` refers to the group of people who watch, read, or listen to something, especially in relation to marketing and media. `We need to understand our audience to create effective content.`
