【话题导练】"现在"对我们来说非常重要，机不可失嘛。把握"现在"，抓住机遇，才能成功！那么，谈论现在的事该怎么演练呢，请听下面的对话吧。

　　【快乐二人组】

　　迪迪鸟：Look! What's Dadalang doing over there?

　　胖胖熊：Let me see. He's looking at our watermelons. He's wearing a large coat. Oh, he's also carrying a big bag.

　　迪迪鸟：Oh, dear. He wants to steal(偷) our watermelons(西瓜). Let's go and stop him.

　　胖胖熊：Dadalang, what are you doing? Put our watermelons down.

　　达达狼：Oh, dear! What am I going to do? I'm not stealing your watermelons. I don't like sweet things(甜食). I'm looking for my ball.

　　迪迪鸟：What? What's in your bag? What's in your coat?

　　达达狼：Nothing important, just some balls. They are balls. Oh, my watermelons.

　　(达达狼的西瓜都滚出来了。)

　　胖胖熊：Don't run away! Where are you going? That's my house.

　　达达狼：Oh, dear! Mummy…(达达狼慌不择路，跑进了胖胖熊家，这下可好抓了。)

　　点拨一下：I'm coming. (我就来。)Where are you going?(你要去哪儿？)这两句是现在进行时表示将来。

　　【免费套餐】注意下面这几句话：

　　1. I can swim now.我现在能游泳了。

　　2. Look! I want to cut it down.看！我想把它割下来。

　　3. I like meat now.我现在喜欢肉了。

　　4. What are you up to these days?近几天你一直在干什么？

　　5. The singer is singing pop songs at the moment.这位歌手眼下在唱流行歌曲。

　　凡事皆有例外，像want, like就没有进行时；含有情态动词时，后面要用动词原形，当然也不能用进行时了。另外，these days或at the moment表示目前状况的副词短语也可用于现在进行时。

　　好了，请你用上面5句话，再编一段对话吧。

　　【走遍美国】

　　"谈论现在"在美国用得很多，例如打招呼、谈论身体健康或天气，常用到进行时。例如：

　　How are things going?近来如何？
