Lewis: I know. I think this __________ (be) the hottest week we’ve had in years. I’m already dreading it.

Maya: We __________ (not stay) in the flat all day. It turns into an oven in hot weather.

Lewis: True. I __________ (meet) Tom on Tuesday. He said he was thinking of going to the coast for a few days.

Lewis: Maybe. I __________ (check) tonight. If we leave it too late, everything __________ (sell out)

Maya: Good point. I think I __________ (buy) a fan as well. Last summer, we kept saying we would and never did.

Lewis: The shops __________ (open) earlier this weekend because they’re expecting more customers. 

Maya: That makes sense. Everyone __________ (try) to stay cool and __________(buy) fans and ice all week. 

Lewis: We should think about food, too. I definitely __________ (not cook) much if it’s over thirty degrees. 

Maya: Same. I __________ (prepare) some cold meals in advance. By Wednesday, I __________ (fill) the freezer.

Maya: No, I __________ (work) from home on Thursday and Friday. If the forecast stays the same, most people __________ (avoid) public transport.
