Natural

Hi! Are the natural in daily English? Thanks, Fulvio

1. I expect to arrive there at 3 pm.

2. I expect to study math at 4 pm.

3. I expect to get a haircut at 6 pm.

(1) is natural. (2) and (3) are correct English, but seem less likely to be used in practice. Usually we use "I expect to ~" for things that we don't have complete control over, whereas studying or getting a haircut are normally things that we can decide to do at any chosen time.
