8 – Present continuous
Past Future
Moment of speaking
Present progressive
The present progressive puts emphasis on the course or duration of an action.
Present progressive is also known as present continuous.
S + (be) + _____ing
© 2012 Honey Rouzbahani
The present progressive-is used for actions going on in the moment of speaking.-for actions taking place only for a short period of time. -It is also used to express development and actions that are arranged for the near future.
-The Present Continuous Tense usually describes things that are happening now, but it can also be used to describe important things in your life, and future activity.
-The Present Continuous is used for actions that are happening around the present time. For example,
"I am studying English" means thatI am in the process of studying English now.

Analogue clocks and watches often have numbers on the "face" to show the hours and lines to show the minutes. An analogue clock also has "hands" a short hand to show the houra longer hand to show the minutes,and sometimes a long thin hand to show the seconds.
Digital clocks and watches show the exact hours and minutes in numbers. They use 24 hours and sixty minutes to show the time.

Remark on the location or occasionLook around and see if there is anything worth pointing out. Examples of location or occasion comments: "This is a gorgeous room!", "Such incredible catering!", "I love this view!", or "Great dog!"
Ask an open-ended questionMost people love to talk about themselves; it's your place as the
conversation starter to get them going. An open question requires an explanation for an answer rather than just a simple yes or no. Open questions tend to begin with who, when, what, why, where, and how, whereas closed questions tend to start with do, have, and is/am/are.
Closed questions: "Do you like books?", "Have you been to university?", "Is spring your favorite season?", "Am I intruding?", and "Do you come here often?"
Open questions: "What sort of books do you like?", "What did you study at university?", "Which is your favorite season? Why?", "What are you doing right now?", and "Where's your usual watering hole?" © 2

Idioms for Kids
A good example of an English idiom is the phrase:
1 - It’s raining cats and dogs.
Idioms like ❛it's raining cats and dogs❜, which
means ❛it’s raining very hard❜, are phrases or
sayings that have taken on special meanings
over time - meanings that are often very
different from the individual words that they
contain. In fact, you often can’t even guess
what the meanings of idioms are. This makes
them challenging but also very interesting,
fascinating and even fun to learn.
© 2012 Honey Rouzbahani
The Funniest English Idioms
1. a worm’s eye viewMany have heard the expression
a bird’s eye view, but have you
ever heard of a worm’s eye
view? If you have a worm’s eye
view of something, you only
understand or know a little bit
about it - and, unfortunately, it is
usually the worst or least
important part!
Example:
What does Pat perfect know
about prepositions? He only
has a worm’s eye view of
English grammar!

People and Personalities
1. fast-talkerA fast talker is a super talker, i.e. someone who is good at
persuading people to do what he wants. A fast-talker can
convince people to believe things that are not true or do things
that they would not normally do.
Example: When I went to the car dealership, I wanted to buy
a small compact car. When I left, I had purchased a van.
The salesman was a real fast-talker!

NEWS 12Dog that lost snout saving girls arrives in
Calif.
9:27PM EDT October 12. 2012 -
DAVIS, Calif. (AP) — A dog that lost its snout while saving
two girls in the Philippines has been brought to the
University of California, Davis, where veterinarians will try
to fix its injuries.
© 2012 Honey Rouzbahani
Surgeons at UC Davis' veterinary medical teaching hospital
looked over the mixed breed dog named Kabang on Thursday.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Kabang became a
star in the Philippines after it got in front of a speeding
motorcycle, saving the dog owner's young daughter and niece.
The crash took off the dog's snout and its upper jaw, and
veterinarians in the Philippines were unable to treat the injury.
So Karen Kenngott, a critical care nurse from Buffalo, N.Y.,
spearheaded an online fundraising campaign for the dog's care.
Thursday's hour-long exam at UC Davis included blood and
urine tests.© 2012 Honey Rouzbahani
NEWS 12
Surgeons determined that the dog will need at least two
surgeries over the next six weeks — one procedure to focus
on dental work and another to close the gaping wound on her
face.
There were no plans to fit Kabang with a "prosthetic snout" or
to replace the dog's jaw, the hospital said in a statement.
