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(xiàn)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(xiàn)在進行時嗎？在這一單元中，用現(xiàn)在進行時代表將要發(fā)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(xiàn)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(xù)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(xiàn)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(nèi)容。同學們在課外，可以勤練習。
