situations in the pictures using the learned vocabulary and the simple future tense,

Step 2 Grammar Explanation (10 minutes)
Present the sentences in Grammar Focus. Guide the students to observe all the
sentence patterns of the simple future tense and summarize its formation rules.

Focus on explaining the differences between "will" and "be going to":
Usage Differences: "Will" is often used to express spontaneous decisions,
predictions about future events, or willingness. "Be going to" usually indicates
things that have been planned in advance or things that are likely to happen
based on current signs. Make comparative analyses through example
sentences. For example, "I will go shopping later. (A spontaneous decision)"
and "I'm going to visit my grandparents this weekend. (A pre - planned thing)"
Let the students understand the differences.
Time Differences: "Be going to" often focuses on short - term plans, while
"will" can be used to express future events with various time spans. Guide
students to choose the appropriate structure through specific situations. For
example, "Look at the dark clouds. It _ (will / is going to) rain. (Answer: is going
to, inferred from the current sign)"
