📝 Explanation:

- We use "will" for future predictions, plans, or scheduled events.
- "Shall" is less common now, especially with third-person subjects, though it's still correct with "I" and "we".
- Since the instructions allow "shall" or "will", and most modern English uses "will", we go with "will" for all cases.
- The verb after "will/shall" stays in its base form (e.g., arrive, see, write).
