There are three ways how to speak about future in English The first one and most popular for Russia people is to use future simple tense We use it in following situations:
1) prediction. For example : we'll fail tomorrow's exam (fail it's a more formal phrase, we also can use bomb an exam or flunk an exam)
2) decision (or immediate decision) for example you're in a restaurant and you want to make order, you'd like to order fry chicken and you're saying 'i'll get fry chicken'. It was immediate decision, you decided to buy it only now it wasn't planed
3) promise. For example: don't scold me, I'll do it tomorrow.
The second one and most popular way to speak about future in English is to use present continuous tense or construction 'to be be going to'
There are some rulse too.

All of your examples are correct, but there's one usage that doesn't sound correct throughout this paragraph: Every time you use the words "speak" or "say," try replacing those words with the word "talk." That sounds much more natural.
