The third period: Learning about Language
Aims
To learn about the Present Continuous Tense
To discover and use some useful words and expressions
Procedures
I. Warming up
Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions
Hello everyone. After reading the passage, we have got to know the usage of the words and expressions, but we should do more practice. Now turn to page 20 to find the correct words and expressions from the passage to finish the sentences. You are given two minutes to finish them and discuss with your partners. Two minutes later, check in pairs and then check with the whole class.
II. Learning about language
1. Reading and finding
Good, you have mastered these words and expressions. Let’s turn to page 17 and look at the questions in Warming up 4. Underline the verbs in the questions, and pay attention to the verb forms and do some explanations by yourselves.
2. Learning Grammar
We can see that the verbs are all used in the “-ing” form. They are “the present continuous tense”, but they express future actions or plans. The Present Continuous Tense may be used to denote an action that can be pre-planned or prearranged instead of the future indefinite in colloquial English. But please note that, not all verbs can be used in the “-ing” form to express future actions. Such verbs as come, go, leave, fly, walk, ride, drive, stay, meet, die, see, have, arrive etc. are mainly used in the “-ing” form to express future actions.
3. Doing exercises No. 2 and 3 on page 21
Now turn to page 21 and do exercise 2. In the dialogue a newspaper reporter is interviewing Wang Wei about her plans for the trip along the ekong River. However, they are not sure about some of the verb tenses. Can you help them complete their conversation?
Let’s continue to do exercise 3. Do you have any plans for the future yourselves? If you have any, please use the Present Continuous Tense to express your future actions. Give as much information as you can.
III. Ready used materials for the present continuous tense for future actions or plans
be + v.-ing与表示将的时间连用，表示不久的将，含义是“预定要做”。（这种结构中常用动作动词或去向动词：go, come, leave, start, arrive, travel, fly等，不适用于状态动词）

IV. Closing down
Closing down by making a dialogue
To end the period you are going to make a dialogue in pairs to tell the whole class your plan on this Sunday.
Closing down by writing
Suppose you are planning a holiday trip. Write a short passage about your plan. You must pay great attention to the tense. The following questions can help you.
Where are you going for your holiday? Who are you going with?
How are you getting there? What are you doing there?
Where are you staying? What are taking with you?
When are you returning?
