Part Ⅰ Activity 1 In every example sentence,the present continuous tense is used to talk about future plans. Activity 2 1.The verbs all use the present continuous tense to express some arrangements for events in the nearest future. 2.We can also use “will do” “be going to do” to express our future plans. Activity 3 1.Ive just booked my air ticket!I am visiting my grandparents in December. 我已经订了机票。在12月份我要去拜访我的祖父母。
2.Kate has been invited to a meeting in Iceland.She is applying for a visa soon. 凯特受邀去冰岛参会。她很快就要申请签证了。
3.A:Hey,are you free for dinner tonight? B:Im sorry,no.I am having dinner with my cousins tonight. A:嗨,今晚有空吗? B:抱歉,我没空。今晚我要和表姐们一起吃饭。
4.The cruise is leaving on 23 March and returning on 1 April. 游船将在3月23 离开并于4月1日返回。
Activity 4 The two sentences cannot be rewritten.Because in the first sentence,“might visit” is not expressing the future event but expressing a kind of possibility;while in the second sentence,“be going to” is expressing a kind of tendency,but not a thing that is sure to happen. Part Ⅱ Activity 1 1.is applying for 2.is not visiting;is attending 3.am not packing 4.is checking in 5.Are you checking out 6.are you staying Activity 2 A:What are you doing on Saturday morning? B:Well,its going to be sunny in the morning and not very windy,so Im having a picnic with my friends. A:Are you free in the afternoon? B:Uh,no.Im hiking up to the mountain with my family to have dinner at a restaurant overlooking the city.Since the weather is going to be clear,we were hoping to get a really good view of the city lights.But Im free tomorrow.We can get together then. A:Im not so sure about that. B:What do you mean?What are you doing tomorrow morning? A:Since the wind is going to be strong,Im going sailing with my uncle. B:And then in the afternoon? A:Its going to be rainy,so Im staying inside and playing board games with my cousins. B:How about tomorrow night? A:Let me see.I have nothing planned. B:Why dont we get together then? A:Sure.Your place or mine? B:I will come over to your place.See you then. Part Ⅲ Activity 1 Hush,little baby,dont say a word, Papas buying you a mockingbird. If that mockingbird wont sing, Papas buying you a diamond ring. If that diamond ring turns to brass, Papas buying you a looking-glass. If that looking-glass gets broke, Papas buying you a billy-goat. If that billy-goat runs away, Papas buying you another today. I think the original one is better,because the poem describes a scene where the father is singing his baby to sleep.Therefore,the many future things referred to in the poem will not really happen.
