Talk about your future plansتحدّث عن خططك القادمة

Use be going to for a plan you decided before speaking: I am going to start a new job. Use will for a decision made at the moment of speaking or for a promise: I will help you. Use the present continuous for an arrangement with a time and place: I am meeting the client at ten tomorrow. The difference is when the decision was made, not the future itself.
