Warm Up:
What are you doing next weekend? Do you want to have a 2- day short trip?
看看这问题,多有诱惑力,两天的假期,想想,想做什么?额,还真想不出来。
Lesson 2 Making plans
Oral practice
What are you doing tonight? Do you want to go bowling?
Other ways to ask about the other’s time and availability.
• Are you free this Friday?
• What are you doing this weekend?
• Are you busy tonight?
• Do you have time after class/work?
Positive responses:
• Sure! Do you want to do something?
• I'm free all weekend.
• I'm open this evening. open这个词要记得使用,不能总是使用常见词汇。
• I don't have anything scheduled.
Negative responses:
• Sorry, I have plans this weekend.
• I'm going to (Las Vegas) with (my friends).
• Unfortunately not. I have something else scheduled.
• Not really. (I'm kind of busy tonight.)
To indicate interest, but temporary non-availability
• I'm not free on Friday, but I do have time Saturday.
• I'm going to be out of town, but I'll be back next weekend.
• I have something planned. How about tomorrow?
• I'm busy today. How about some other time?
错误读法:2PM 两点种,不读2o'clock PM,直接读2 PM.
学习反思:拒绝也是门艺术,礼貌地拒绝就要有合适的理由,而非生硬直接说NO。
接受和拒绝可能有四种表达方式,可能我们常说的就是其中两种,另外两种不知道,所以要多练习说另外两种。这样词汇量和表达方式更丰富,更贴近生活。
