BEC商务英语教程-说未来的事
Different ways of talking or writing about future events in English have different meanings. Here are some examples: PREDICTING future events: -It will probably be difficult to get them to pay on time. Describing a PLAN or ARRANGEMENTS: -I'm visiting/I'll be visiting Tokyo in November. Saying what you INTEND to do: -I'm going to chase them up if they haven't delivered by Friday. Making a PROMISE: -I'll let you know next week. Referring to FACTS(timetables or schedules): -My plane for Buenos Aires leaves at 14:35. Talking about something that is going to happen VERY SOON: -I'm just about to/just going to phone Sydney. It's sometimes more polite to use will be doing: -When will you be calling Mr. Lee in Singapore? instead of: When will you...? or Are you going to...? |
