三、教学步骤

Step One Lead-in

1. Present the five sentences for grammar focus on the Bb. Ask students to use them

to answer the teacher’s question.

（1）---It’s raining outside and I have to go out. What can I do?

---You may take an umbrella.

（2）---I don’t know the meaning of the word “reception”.

---You can use your dictionary. Well, it means “接待” in Chinese.

(3) ---I have learned about modal verbs, but I still can’t use them correctly. ---You should do more exercises.

(4) ---I’m feeling bad now. I think I’m ill.

---You need to go to see a doctor.

(5) ---I’m afraid to be outside at night alone.

---You’d better go home before dark.

Step Two Grammar Focus

2. Grammar focus: The teacher helps the Ss compare the use of modal verbs so that

students may have a general idea of the usage of them.

You may take an umbrella.

You can use your dictionary.

You should do more exercises.

You need to go to see a doctor.

You’d better go home before dark.

(1) 情态动词后面必须跟动词原形一起作句子的谓语，它们没有人称和数的变化。

(2) may, can, should, need to, had better 都可以用于提出建议，但它们的语气逐渐加强，may 与can 表示“可以”；should 表示“应该”；need 表示“需要”；

had better 表示“最好”。

3. Read and match. Read the sentences and match the proper advice with the

following situations.（Activity18）

4. Read and complete: Read the dialogues and fill in the blanks with proper modal

verbs. （Activity19）

For the above two activities, the teacher had better offer analysis to each dialogue.

Make sure that students really understand them.

Step Three Practice

5. Act and practice: Work in groups. Each group is to imitate some behavior in the

following situations. Other groups give advice to the behavior. The group that

gives the most appropriate advice is the winner. （Activity20）

The teacher can ask students to offer more situations, such as at the supermarket,

at home, in the street, etc.
