Bob is going to the airport by taxi next week.
Observe the following sentences:3) Jane is staying in Xi’an with her parents.
4) Bob is coming with Betty to see her off.
此四句是现在进行时代替将来时，表示一个最近按计划或安排打算要进行的动作，这类动词通常是瞬间动作，只限于少数动词，常见的有：go, come, leave, sleep, stay, play, do, have, take, get to, see off, etc.
小结：1）How are you feeling today?
2）He is always thinking others.
3）You are always leaving things about.
4）He is always talking big.亲切赞许不满厌烦此四句是现在进行时代替一般现在时，表示一个经常性重复的动作或状态，这时句中常带always 或forever,以表示说话人的某种表情，如赞叹，厌烦，埋怨，等或强调情况的暂时性使其生动。The Present Continuous Tense for the present actions：小结：The plane takes off at 9:30.
My plane leaves at 7:00.
When does the winter holiday begin?
What time does the train leave for Shanghai?
此四句表示将来的事情已经“列入日程” 或按计划将要发生，则用一般现在时代替将来时，但仅限于少数动词begin, go, leave, start, take 等。小结：
(1)表示现在进行时的动作有两种含义：
表示说话的时刻正在进行的动作，常与时间状语now, at the moment等连用。
表示现在阶段正在进行的动作，而不一定是说话时正在进行的动作，常与today, this week, this term等连用。
现在进行时用法归纳 Eg. Right now it is the summer vacation and I’m helping my dad on the farm.现在是暑假，我在农场帮我爸爸干活。
I’m sitting on a rock near the river with my friends.我和我的朋友们正坐在河边的一块岩石上。
(2)表示反复性或习惯性的动作，常与副词always, continually等连用，表示说话人的赞扬，厌恶，不满，遗憾等的感彩。
Eg. She’s always changing her mind.她老是改变主意。（厌烦）
(3)表示不久之后肯定将发生，或按计划或安排将要做的事（常与未来的时间状语连用），能这样用的动词多是表示“位移”“停留”的，如come, go , leave, arrive, start, begin等。
Eg. Mother is taking us home to see my grandma on Sunday.星期天母亲将带我们回老家看我祖母。
He will write you a letter next week.他下个星期会给你写信。
小结：will/shall+动词原形，表示将来某个时间要发生的动作或存在的状态；或表示自然趋势或非主语意志。
I shall be sixteen years old next month.
下个月我将十六岁了。（自然趋势）
表示将来的时态还有下列的方法：②be going to +动词原形，表示“就要……”，“打算……”或将要发生的事。
Eg. We’re not going to have any classes next week.
表示“位移”的词，如arrive, come, go , leave, start, begin等，可用一般现在时表示将来安排好或即将发生的事。语气比现在进行时更肯定。
Eg. The next train leaves at 9:15.

3. 我们都感觉很幸运能在大学中完成学业。
4. 这两个城市在很多方面都很相象，比如说，种满成排大树的宽阔街道，带有用银子作成的地板的寺院和被河流分开的三角洲。
Cambodian is similar to Laos in many ways but it has twice the population.The village is too poor to afford to build the school.We all feel lucky to have studied in college.5. 尽管我们因长途骑行而很疲劳， 但我们因沿着这条大河旅行的梦想最终实现而高兴。Though we were tired from the long ride, we felt glad because our dream of traveling along the big river came true at last.The two cities look like each other in many ways, such as the wide streets with trees in rows, the temples with floors made of silver and deltas separated by rivers. Homework:
Do a survey to find out how many students have ever traveled to other provinces and then choose one or two students to interview their feelings during the trip, and report it in next class.课件4张PPT。I Want It That Way
