Family weekend – “be going to”

My family are going to stay at home this Saturday afternoon.
However, we aren’t going to spend the time together, thanks to the internet.
I am going to do some research online on my laptop; my daughter and her friends
are going to make videos and post them on YouTube; and my son? He is going to play online computer games, of course!
Meanwhile, my wife is going to watch her favourite soap opera on the tablet.
When I asked her, “What are we going to eat tonight?” she replied, “I am not going to cook today.”
So later, we are going to order some Chinese food from justeat.com.
It’s delicious!
