How do Russians express the following phrases? Is there a common construction?

"Let's go!"

"Let's read!"

"Let's listen!"

"Let's clean this place up!"

"Let's concentrate on what we're doing."

That is a very different form: it's the imperfective present tense plural 1st person substitute of imperative, widely used in colloquial speech, while the form in question is either perfective future tense plural 1st person (in case of the verbs of motion,) or давай(те)+said form.
