What's the exact time?

确切的时间是几点？

A written-exercises lesson on exact times and the expression 'in ...'s time'. There is no dialogue. The lesson presents a grid of twelve clocks showing different times, a reference table of time phrases (a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year — with AGO and IN ...'S TIME forms), and fifteen city pictures (Athens, Beijing, Berlin, Bombay, Geneva, London, Madrid, Moscow, New York, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Stockholm, Sydney, and a bus station) used for the question 'When did he / will he go to ...?'. Written exercise A rewrites 'must' sentences using 'had better'; written exercise B answers questions using 'in ...'s time'. Workbook practice covers writing the exact time for six clocks (A), answering 'When will you ...?' questions using the time phrase in brackets (B), and writing what you would say in two situations (C). Grammar exercises practise answering questions with past and future time expressions (I) and answering questions about the exact time (II).
