完成课本28页的活动3；
总结现在进行时表示将来的用法。
用于位移动词
现在进行时表示将来主要用于按计划或安排将要发生的动作或事情，多用于表示位置转移的动词(短语)，如arrive、come、get (to)、leave、return、start、travel、take off、fly、go off、see off、set off等。
◆When are you going off for your holiday
你什么时候去度假？
◆She is leaving tomorrow and you’d better see her off.
她明天要走了，你最好为她送行。
◆The plane is arriving in 10 minutes.
飞机将在10分钟内到达。
[即时演练1]——完成句子
(1)今天下午我们将动身去上海。
We_ _Shanghai this afternoon.
(2)今天下午我去给他送行。
I this afternoon.
(3)他乘坐的飞机将于9：20起飞，所以他必须在8：30之前到机场。
His plane at 9：20, so he must be at the airport by 8：30.
2．用于非位移动词
现在进行时表示将来除使用位移动词外，也可使用某些非位移动词，如do、buy、meet、have、play、finish、stay、publish等，此时句中一般要有表示将来的时间状语。
◆The young man is meeting his girlfriend this afternoon.
这个年轻人今天下午要去见他的女朋友。
◆I am publishing a book this year.
我打算今年出一本书。
[即时演练2]——完成句子
(1)下个星期天你打算干什么？
What next Sunday
(2)我妈妈不久将给我买一辆自行车。
My mother me a bike soon.
Ⅲ.迁移应用
4）其他表将来的表达方式（了解）
1．will/shall do表将来
will/shall do表示单纯的将来，是对未来事情发生的“预见性”。will用于各种人称，而shall一般用于第一人称。
2．be going to do表将来
be going to do表示打算、计划、安排或已经决定要做某事，还可表示根据某种迹象表明将要发生的事，比如说天气。
3．be to do表将来
be to do表示按计划中约定或按职责、义务、要求必须去做的事或即将发生的动作。
4．be about to do表将来
be about to do意为“刚要/正要做”，表示即将发生的动作，不与具体时间连用。
一般现在时表将来
表示按照日程表或时刻表的安排要发生的事，如火车(汽车)出发、船只离岸、飞机起飞等，或用于时间状语（when, as soon as..）和条件状语从句(if, unless..)。
探究活动-课本28页活动4
在真实语境中恰当运用现在进行时与同伴讨论周末计划。根据所提供的天气情况确定周末活动，创编对话时需要注意对话中句子间的逻辑关系。
在这个活动中，也出现了两种表示将来的形式：be going to结构和现在进行时。两者都可以表示将来计划要做的事情，但在这个活动的语境中，前者表示根据某种迹象对将来进行预测（表达天气情况）。

expressions What are you doing on... It’s going to be 天气情况.. Since the weather is.. Do you want to join us Are you free in the... How about... I’d love to!
