Unit 2
Travelling Around
Discovering Useful Structures
1
Students will understand and apply the present continuous for future arrangements (e.g., "I'm boarding the train at 6 PM") to describe pre-planned travel activities.
2
They will distinguish this structure from will (spontaneous decisions) and be going to (intentions/predictions) through context-based practice.
Learning Objectives
Teaching Focus
Mastering the "be + V-ing + future time" formula (e.g., We're checking in tomorrow) for scheduled travel events.
Teaching Challenges
Students may confuse it with will or be going to (e.g., "I'm going to travel" vs. "I'm travelling tomorrow") or omit time adverbs, leading to ambiguity.

Review the present continuous tense
表示说话时正在进行的尚未完成的动作或状态。常与now，right now，at this moment，at present等时间状语连用。
表示目前一段时间内在做某一件事，但此时此刻未必正在进行的动作。
表示反复性、一贯性动作的用法。与always，constantly，all the time等副词（短语）连用时，常用来表示赞扬、生气、不满、厌恶等感彩。
现在进行时
现在进行时be(am/is/are) doing 可以表示按计划、安排将要发生的动作。
1.表示位移的动词可以用现在进行时表将来，如：动词come，go，arrive，leave，start，return，take off，fly等。
Mary is leaving for Beijing on Friday.玛丽星期五要动身去北京。
The train is coming soon. 火车马上就要来了。
现在进行时
现在进行时be(am/is/are) doing 可以表示按计划、安排将要发生的动作。
2. 除上述动词外，还有一些动词也可用现在进行时表示将来，如do，have，work，buy，meet，play，spend等，此时句中一般要有表示将来的时间状语。
What are you doing next Sunday 你下周日要做什么？
She is buying me a bike soon. 她很快就会给我买一辆自行车。
现在进行时
现在进行时be(am/is/are) doing 可以表示按计划、安排将要发生的动作。
3. 现在进行时偶尔也表示较远的将来。
4. 现在进行时也可用在时间、条件或原因状语从句中表示将来。
When I grow up, I’m joining the army. 当我长大后，我要参军。
If they are not going, I won’t go, either. 如果他们不去，我也不去。
注意
1. 现在进行时表将来不与频度副词连用
频度副词（always, often, usually, never等）用于描述习惯性动作，而现在进行时表将来强调具体的、一次性的计划安排，两者语义冲突。
I'm visiting my grandma today.
I'm always visiting my grandma tomorrow.
特殊例外：
在口语中，可用频度副词 + 现在进行时表将来，但带有强烈感彩（如抱怨、惊讶）：You're always leaving your chores until tomorrow!
注意
2. 现在进行时表将来避免与自然现象或被动事件连用
自然现象（如天气、日出）和被动事件（如门被打开）是非人为控制的，而现在进行时表将来需人为主动安排的动作。
The sun will rise at 6 AM. （自然现象，用 will）
The sun is rising at 6 AM. （除非拟人化，如童话故事）
拟人化例外：
在文学或童话中，可将自然现象拟人化，此时可用现在进行时表将来：
The sun is rising early tomorrow to greet the princess.（童话语境）
1. will / shall do 表示单纯的将来时，是对未来发生事情的一种“预见性”，强调表示即时决定、承诺或无证据的预测，计划性最低，适用于任意时间。
