§课文原文 Passage
1It is Sunday morning, and the whole family is busy at home. My father is watering the plants on the balcony at the moment. My mother is preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and the smell of eggs is drifting into my room. I am sitting at my desk and revising for my English test. Look! My little brother is chasing a cat in the living room again, and the cat is jumping onto the sofa.
2My grandmother is not doing any housework because she is resting after her morning walk. She says the present continuous is easy to remember: it describes an action happening now. We use am, is or are with a verb-ing form. Common signal words include now and at the moment. My brother is being noisy, but he is only playing; he is not hurting anyone. We are all looking forward to lunch because Mum is cooking my favourite fish.
3Tonight, my sister is staying with us because her flat is being painted. She is sleeping in my room, so I am tidying my desk to make space. This is only temporary, and she will go home on Tuesday. While she is here, we are planning to bake cookies together. I am also writing a short diary about our weekend. Right now, the whole house feels warm and lively, and I love Sundays like this.

3逐步讲解 Steps
- Be配搭：I → am；he/she/it → is；you/we/they → are。My father is watering the plants. My parents are cooking.
- Verb+ingrun → running（双写）· make → making（去 e）· chase → chasing（课文有）。举个例子：My little brother is chasing a cat.读出声配对一次：I am / he is / they are——口跟脑同步，默写先不会配错。
- Use讯号字 now · at the moment · Look!：My father is watering the plants on the balcony at the moment. Look! My little brother is chasing a cat in the living room.三条规则一齐记：双写（run→running）、去 e（make→making）、直接加（play→playing）——考试就考这三变。
- 结构例句完整句式 = am/is/are + verb-ing：My mother is preparing breakfast. I am sitting at my desk and revising for my English test.
- 否定句be + not + -ing：My grandmother is not doing any housework because she is resting. He is not hurting anyone.
- 疑问句be 提前：Is he playing? Yes, he is. What are you doing?——am/is/are 走去句首。
- 暂时状态be + being 讲『最近这样』：My brother is being noisy, but he is only playing——平时不是这样，现在先是。疑问句答也要完整：Yes, he is. / No, he isn't.——答句的 be 要跟问句一致。
- 暂时安排短期安排都用现在进行式：Tonight, my sister is staying with us because her flat is being painted. She will go home on Tuesday.being 加形容词讲行为：You are being silly!——人本身不傻，只是此刻的行为傻。
