我们给《世界奇观》节目打电话，加入讨论吧。
joinin的意思是“参加某种活动，加入到”。例如：We all joined in the game.我们都参与了游戏。
discussion 作名词,它是由动词discuss 加后缀-ion而构成的, 意为“讨论; 商讨”。如:

2. And I think the Giant’s Causeway is the most fantastic natural wonder.
我认为巨人之路是最神奇的自然奇观。
巨人之路位于英国北爱尔兰东部海岸，由大量多边形石柱组成，绵延数百米，呈阶梯状延伸入海。1986年，巨人之路及其海岸(Giant’s causeway and Causeway Coast)被联合国教科文组织列入世界自然遗产名录。
3. That sounds great,though I think Victoria Falls in Africa is evenmore fantastic.

维多利亚瀑布位于非洲赞比西河中游、赞比亚与津巴布韦接壤处，是世界上最壮观的瀑布之一。瀑布上的水雾形成的彩虹景色十分迷人，瀑布的声响可在数公里处听到。因此，当地人称之为“莫西奥图尼亚”，意为“霹雳之雾”。

在你看来，谁是当今世界上最好的足球运动员？

Step 3 Grammar.
时态复习
到目前为止，我们已经学过了英语中常用的时态，包括一般现在时、一般过去时、现在进行时、过去进行时、一般将来时和现在完成时。在本模块中，我们将对这些时态的用法进行总结。
首先，我们将本模块中出现的有代表性的句子归纳如下：
时态 | 例句 |
一般现在时 | (1)And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. (2)It produces electricity for millions of people inChina. |
一般过去时 | (3)Well, I visited the Giant’s Causeway two years ago. |
现在进行时 | (4)Am I going the right way? |
过去进行时 | (5)When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. |
一般将来时 | (6)You’ll get there in five minutes. |
现在完成时 | (7)I’ve never seen it, so I’m not sure I agree with you. |
1.一般现在时
一般现在时可以用来表述或说明某一事物的特性，如上面表格的(1)；描述现在的状态，如(2)。一般现在时还用来描述经常发生的事情及原理，例如：
Thousands of people visit Beijing every year.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
注意: 1) when,until, as soon as等引导的时间状语从句和if引导的条件状语从句中,若主句是将来时或祈使句, 从句则要用一般现在时表示将来。
2）列车时刻，飞机航班用一般现在时。
2. 一般过去时
一般过去时可以用来表述过去某个时间发生的事情或行为，如上面表格中的(3).一般过去时还可以用来描述事物过去的状态或过去经常发生的事情，例如：
I was very thin in my childhood.
I got up very early when I was a college student.
注意：used to是过去时, 表示过去常常。
e.g. I used to take a walkin the morning. 我以前常常早晨散步。
3. 现在进行时
现在进行时可以用来表述现在正在发生的事情或正在进行的行为，如表格中的(4)。现在进行还可以用来表示已经安排好的活动和事件。例如：
My elder brother is coming tomorrow.
We are having a meeting tomorrow morning.
注意：go,come, leave, fly等表示位移的动词的现在进行时可用来表示将来。
e.g. She is flying to London tomorrow. 她明天将飞往伦敦。
4. 过去进行时
过去进行时表示在过去某段时间内正在发生的事情或行动，如表格中的(5)。从例句可以看出，过去进行时常常以一个过去的行为或时间为参照。例如：
I was having breakfast when he telephoned me.
What were you doing at eight o’clock yesterdayevening?
注意：while从句中的动词只能是延续性动词,
when从句中的动词延续性动词非延续性动词均可。
e.g. The phone rang while / when Mr. Wang wassleeping on the sofa.
王先生正在沙发上睡觉时, 电话铃响了。
5. 一般将来时
一般将来时表述的是发生在将来的事情或行为以及未来的状态，如表格中的(6)。在表示对将来的预测时(没有相关迹象表明某事必然会发生的情况下)，will和be going to可以互换。例如：
It will / is going to be a rainy day tomorrow.
但在其他情况下，be going to更强调计划性，而will着重表达个人意愿或想法。例如：
He is going to spend his vacation in Hawaii.
I will give you the information when I get it.
注意：there be结构的一般将来时常用There is /are going to be或There will be表示。
e.g. There is going to / will be a film thisevening. 今晚将有一场电影。
6. 现在完成时
现在完成时与一般过去时所表示的行为都发生在过去，但是两者表达的重点不同：一般过去时表述过去的事情，现在完成时则强调过去的行为对现在的影响，如表格中的(7)。看对话，对比两种时态：
A: Have you seen the film?
B: Yes, I have.
A: When did you see it?
B: Last night.
从对话中可以看出，当谈话重心在过去的时间、地点或人物，而不是事件的结果或影响时，要用一般过去时。反之，如果我们要强调的是过去的事情对现在的影响，则应该用现在完成时。
现在完成时还表示某个状态从过去某个时间开始，一直持续到现在。例如：
I have lived here for a long time.
I have been ill for a week.
注意：havebeen to 曾去过某地, 表示一种经历havegone to 到某地去了
e.g. My father has been to Shanghai twice. 我父亲去过两次上海。
MrWang isn’t here. He has gone to Dalian.王先生不在这儿, 他去大连了。
各种时态中一般疑问句和否定句的构成(以do为例)：
1. 一般现在时
一般疑问句式：Do I / we / you / they +do…?
Does he / she / it + do…?
否定句式： I / We /You / They +do not (don’t) +do…
