注意同一意思的多种表达方式
Why are you late? = What took you so long? 你为什么迟到?
【Key structures】
将来进行时
将来进行时由will/shall+be+现在分词构成，通常用于表示最近或很久的将来正在进行的动作。将来进行时常用来表示说话人设想已经安排好的事。
I‘ll be working for my exams next month. 下个月我将用功看书准备考试。
By this time tomorrow, I‘ll be lying on the beach.
将来进行时与一般将来时有时表达的意思差不多，但一般将来时中的will经常具有蓄意为之的含义（如表示主语的意愿、决心、许诺等），将来进行时不具有这些含义，只表示单纯的将来，或者说只陈述将来的事实，但它语气比单用will时委婉客气。
When will you finish these letters? （如上司对下属） When will you be seeing Mr. White? （如下属对上司） Mary won‘t pay this bill. （她拒绝付帐）
Mary won‘t be paying this bill. （将来的事实）
Won‘t you join us for dinner? 你来和我们一起吃饭好吗？（邀请） Won‘t you be joining us for dinner? 你会和我们一起吃饭吗？（将来的事实）
【语法精粹】
1.\ \
A. it will be B. there'd be C. there will be D. there is schedule 按计划； delay n. 延迟, 拖延和耽误
it be 它是，be动词的后面一旦加名词, 往往认为主语和名词之间是等号关系
there be 哪儿有(某地有某物)，有某事发生 There will be a meeting. 那儿将开会 There was a fire. 发生大火
2.He'll leave for Paris before you___C__next week. A. will come back B. will be back C. come back D. came back
before在这里是状语从句的标志
在状语从句中不可能出现将来时, 都被一般现在时态取代
3.Our next meeting__C___on 1st December
A. has been held B. will hold C. is to be held D. is holding
be to,将来的标志, 是将来还是被动
4.Where__C___a will,there is a way.
A. there will have B. has been there C. there is D. there has been.
是个谚语―有志者事竞成‖，―哪儿有愿望, 哪儿就有路‖ where 引导的是地点主语从句
5.It__B___be Wednesday tomorrow.
A. is going to B. will C. is about to D. is to
Will和be going to一般的情况可以互换, 遇上没有办法打算和计划安排的, 只能用will be（单纯的表将来）
be about to 计划打算； be to 计划打算； be going to 计划打算

【Text】
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, \you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!'

去年我有过一次有趣的经历. 在离开法国南部的一个小村庄后, 我继续驶往下一个城镇. 途中, 一个青年人向我招手. 我把车停下, 他向我提出要求搭车. 他一上车, 我就用法语向他问早上好, 他也同样用法语回答我. 除了个别几个单词外, 我根本不会法语. 旅途中我们谁也没讲话. 就要到达那个镇时, 那青年突然开了口, 慢慢地说道 : ―你会讲英语吗?‖我很快了解到, 他自己就是个英国人!
