Talk about plans and arrangements

Marina: Hi, Clara. Have you got a minute?

Clara: Hello, Marina. What can I do for you?

Marina: I'm doing a two kilometers swim for charity next week, and I'm looking for sponsors.

Clara: That's very good, Marina. What's it for?

Marina: It's for a children's charity.

Clara: And when are you swimming?

Marina: I'm swimming next Friday. I'm hoping to raise about €150. Will you sponsor me?

Clara: Yes, OK. It sounds like a good cause, I hope you finish it!

Marina: I'm going to try! Some friends are going to do it too.

Clara: Good luck, Marina.

Marina: Thanks.
