Unit 3 What are you doing for vacation ?

學習目標：

在這一單元中，我們要學習如何談論假期的計劃（Vacation plans），對將來的安排（Future plans）

語言目標：

1. 用現在進行時表示將來。

（Present progressive as future）

2. 用where , when , what , how long 提問的句子。

主要句型：

1. What are you doing for vacation ?

I’m spending time with my friends .

2. When are you going ?

I’m going next week .

3. How long are you staying ?

We’re staying for two weeks .

Step 1. National Day is coming . We all have a long vacation about 7 days . What are you doing for vacation ?

Now Let’s talk about future plans .

在這里，我們用到What are you doing for vacation ?

同學們可能會奇怪，“be doing”結構不是現在進行時嗎？在這一單元中，用現在進行時代表將要發生的動作，表示對未來的計劃和安排，譯為“我將要…”，“我打算…”。

eg . What’s she doing for vacation ? 她假期要做什么？

She’s babysitting her sister . 她要看她妹妹。

這是我們進入初中以來第一次接觸到將來時。這種用現在進行時表示將來動作的用法，實際上在英語中是很常見的。

除了用“What are you doing for vacation ? ”之外，我們還要學習其它幾個問句，來幫助我們更好地談論假期的計劃。

1. When are you going ?

你什么時候去呀？

when表示對具體的時刻來提問，所以可以用on Monday ，（在星期一），on the 12th （在12號那天）nextweek （下周）、等等。

eg. I’m going the first week in June . 我將在六月份的第一周去。

2. How long are you staying ? 你要在那里呆多久？

How long 是對表示持續的一段時間來提問。因此回答時，也要用表示一段時間的時間狀語，而不是具體時刻。

eg. How long is he staying ?

He’s staying for a week . 他要呆一個禮拜。

或He’s staying until September . 他在那里一直到九月份。

3. Where are you going for vacation ? 你要去哪里度假？

I’m going to Italy （Greece or Spain ）.

我要去意大利（希臘或西班牙）。

4. What’s it like there ? 那里怎么樣？

這個句型是我們在第二冊中學習過的，當時我們對人提問，“What’s she like ? ”她這人怎么樣。現在是對地點對問，請你介紹一下對某地的看法與印象。

你可以回答：It’s beautiful ! It’s wonderful ! 等等。

5. How’s the weather there ? 那里的天氣怎么樣？

這也是上學期我們學過的句子。你可以用一系列表示天氣的詞來回答。

如It’s cool . （hot , humit , warm …）

6. Who are you going with ? 你準備和誰一塊兒去？

I’m going with my parents . 我和我父母一塊兒去。

學會了上面這些句子，我們又增加了許多談話的內容。同學們在課外，可以勤練習。
