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 mekong 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与表示将来的时间连用，表示不久的将来，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）

step 2 guided writing
1. reading and underlining
in this unit, we have read the first two parts of a travel journal and have listened to the third part of the travel journal. what is the difference between a journal and a diary? let’ read the passage on page 23 and find out the difference between the two. underline all the useful expressions and collocations in it. copy them in your notebook after class as homework.
collocations from reading and writing
put one’s thoughts into a diary, travel journey, the difference between, for on thing… for another, record one’s experiences, soon after, be familiar to, make a list of, compare…with, agree to.
read the passage quickly and then fill in the information on the chart.
a diary a travel journal
1). personal;
2). to try to record how the writers feel very soon after things happen 1). isn’t as personal as a diary
2). to record the writers experiences, ideas and afterthought about what they have seen
3). is written for a lot of readers
4). it’s topics includes people, things, and events less familiar to readers.
step 3 writing a letter
now let’s do a writing practice. imagine that you are a friend of wang wei. write a short letter to her and ask her to describe: how she feels, what she is doing, and some place you want to know about. then wish her well on her journey by using at least two of these expressions:
have a nice/good time. have a nice/good trip. take care.
good luck on your journey. say “hello” to …. write to me.
give my best/love wishes to …. have fun.
you can refer to the following steps.
in pairs choose the details from the journey that are most interesting. think of what else you would like to know about the journey. write these ideas down as questions.
now choose two or three of the best questions for your letter. each question should have another sentence explaining why you want to know this information.
put them in an order that makes sense.
begin your letter as shown in the textbook and add your questions for wang wei. your writing should not be more than one paragraph.
finish your letter as shown in the textbook.
a sample writing:
hi, brave little wei,
how i worry about you and wang kun! do you have a good time now? i hope so. what are you doing now? are you still in laos? can you tell me something about people’s life there? when are you leaving for cambodia? when you get there, tell me about the buddhist temples there. please send some photos with your next letter! well, have a good trip and don’t forget to write to me! give my best wishes to wang kun. good luck on your journey.
