2. Read and translate the text (Прочитайте и переведите текст):

Washington is the capital of the United States of America. It is situated on the Potomac River in the District of Columbia. The district is named in honour of Columbus, the discoverer of America.

The capital is named after the first President of the USA — George Washington. Washington is not the largest city in the USA. It has a population of 900 000 people.

Washington is a one-industry town. That industry is government. It does not produce anything except very much scrap paper. Every day 25 railway cars leave Washington loaded with scrap paper.

Washington has many historical places. The largest and tallest among the buildings is the Capitol. There are no skyscrapers in Washington because no other building must be taller than the Capitol. The White House is the President's residence. It was built in 1799.

Not far from the Capitol is the Washington Monument, which looks like a very big pencil. It rises 160 metres. The Jefferson Memorial was built in memory of the third President of the USA, Thomas Jefferson, who was also the author of the Declaration of Independence.

The Lincoln Memorial is built in memory of the 16th President of the US, the author of the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave freedom to Negro slaves in America.

Grammar theme: The Present Continuous Tense

A сейчас, ребята,посмотрите на экран. Перед вами действия, которые были описаны в тексте. Найдите общую черту для всех глаголов в предложениях. В каком времени использованы эти глаголы? Когда происходят действия на картинках? И так скажите, для выражения какого действия используется данное время?

Present Continuous используется для обозначения действий, протекающих в точно указанное время, либо одновременно с другим действием.

What are you writing? - I am writing a letter to a friend of mine. – Что ты (сейчас) пишешь? – Я пишу (сейчас) письмо моему другу.

They are not working. They are on their holidays. Они не работают (сейчас). Они в отпуске.

Утвердительная форма настоящего продолженного времени образуется из вспомогательного глагола "to be" в соответствующем лице настоящего времени (am, is, are) и смыслового глагола с окончанием –ing.

He is reading a book. Он читает книгу .

I am waiting for a call. Я жду телефонного звонка.

S+to be+V-ing

Чтобы задать вопрос в настоящем продолженном времени, нужно поставить глагол "to be" перед подлежащим, смысловой глагол в форме "-ing" следует за подлежащим.

Is he reading a new book? Yes, he is. (No, he isn’t). Он читает новую книгу? Да. (Нет).

Are you waiting for a bus? Yes, I am. (No, I am not). Ты ждёшь автобус? Да. (Нет).

To be+S+V-ing

Отрицательная форма образуется путём постановки отрицания "not" после вспомогательного глагола.

They are not playing football now. Они не играют в футбол сейчас.

They are very busy. Они очень заняты.

S+to be not+V-ing

Глаголы, обозначающие не действия, а состояния, чувства, желания, мысли и некоторые другие не употребляются в формах Continuous. Эти глаголы не могут выражать действие или состояние как процесс, поддающийся наблюдению и совершающийся в определенный момент. Эти глаголы называют статическими, в отличие от динамических, которые обозначают действия. Их можно условно разделить на группы, например:

Мыслительной деятельности:

 Эмоционального состояния:

 Ощущения:

 Обладания, отношения:
