Remember this conversation between Jake and Mike.

When we talk about traveling or things we plan to do,
we often use the present continuous¹.
I can say,"I'll arrive in Stamford tomorrow."
Or I can say,"I'm arriving in Stamford tomorrow."
The meaning is the same.Now listen to some sentences in the future.
Then change each one to the present continuous.
For example,I say,"I'll arrive tomorrow."And you say...
I'm arriving tomorrow.Or I say,
"I'll meet Mr.Brown this afternoon."And you say...
I'm meeting Mr.Brown this afternoon.
OK.Let's begin.I'll arrive tomorrow.
