Tell the Ss what the Present Progressive is. (现在进行时表示现在正在进行或发生的动作, 它的表现形式为Be Verbs + V-ing ---- 这也即为它的结构式.)
2. Tell the difference
Write down the V-ing forms by another lines of go, watch, do, play and eat on the blackboard. Ask the Ss to have a look and find the difference between them. For example: go and going, watch and watching, do and doing, etc. Then, ask the Ss to read them again.

Let the Ss get ready to listen to the tape (paper and ball-point pen).
Check the answer: 2 4 1

n What am I doing?
n I’m opening the door.
n What am I doing?
n I’m looking at him.
n What am I doing?
n I’m cleaning the window.
5. Pairwork.
