Imagine this: You are planning a road trip. Naturally, the first thing you need to do is pick a destination. Then, you probably call your friends and invite them. Next, you book hotels or camping spots to stay at along the way. After that, you make a checklist of supplies that you will need. Finally, you buy all of the supplies and pack up your car. The big day is finally here. Your road trip is good to go!
We use the expression “good to go” to talk about being ready or prepared for something. You can be good to go on a big plan, like a vacation or party. You can also be good to go on a small plan. For example, if your friend asks you to come over and watch a movie, you might text back, “I’m good to go!”
Dominique thinks the team is good to go for Sheila’s birthday party, but there might be a couple of small details that they forgot! Watch the video to find out what these are.
3. Watch - Watch the video without reading the dialog.

Dominique: OK, I think we’re ready to go.
Jordin: I think we’re missing something.
Dominique: Oh no! What did we forget?
Jordin: Well, has anybody seen Sheila?
Dominique: Oh! I was so busy planning for the party…
Kelsey: I did, earlier… or was that yesterday?
Andy_H: I was so nervous, I spent most of the day trying to pick out flowers.
Kelsey: It was yesterday, yeah. So, no.
Dominique: Where could she be? I told her we were meeting here.
Kelsey: Maybe, she’s just late.
Jordin: That’s not like her.
Dominique: Well, there’s no point in being good to go if our birthday girl isn’t going to show up! I just hope she’s OK.
Jordin: Let’s just wait and see.

Dominique and the team are going through the checklist for Shelia’s birthday party. Jordin bought candles and cupcakes. Kelsey is playing the music. And Andy bought a huge bouquet for Sheila. There’s only one thing missing… Sheila!
No one can remember seeing her recently. Kelsey thinks she might have seen her yesterday. Andy doesn’t know when he last saw her. He was so nervous about picking out flowers that he forgot! Dominique is worried. There is no point in throwing a party if their birthday girl isn’t going to be there. Everyone hopes she is OK. Jordin says they will just have to wait and see.
Have you ever been late to your own party? Do you prefer cake or cupcakes?
