We are happy to hold the second largest meeting
Second biggest meeting
[not really any differences]
Is supposed to ~
has been scheduled for ~
[suppose is like assume. the speaker is guessing that something will occur. Is scheduled - the speaker knows that the even has been planned for a specific time]
I am pleased that Marathon begins~
Marathon starts~
[no real difference in this context]
Tentative schedule
Temporary schedule
[tentative - something has been scheduled, but the schedule may change. it is not possible to schedule the event completely until closer to the date. Temporary schedule - this schedule has been designed to last for a while. Perhaps a classroom is undergoing repairs, and a temporary schedule is created for the duration]
Keep in mind
Take notes
[keep in mind - make this knowledge important in your mind, please try to remember. sometimes this knowledge will be important to what i will say next. i.e. Keep in mind that the weather forecast is for rain tomorrow. What should we wear on our excursion?
Take notes - write this down, it is detailed and you will need to reference this detail later. Not to be confused with: Take Note: notice this fact (like keep in mind, but more of a command than a suggestion)]
