How are you today? Ss: Good morning, teacher! Fine, thank you. T: Great! Before we start our new lesson, let's have a quick review. Who can tell me some modal verbs we've learned before? S1: Can, could. S2: May, might. T: Very good! And what about “must”? Do you remember its usage? S3: “Must” means something is necessary or very important. T: Exactly! We use “must” to talk about things that are essential. For example, we must wear seat belts in the car. Now, let's see how we can use modal verbs to talk about rules and suggestions in our new module. Step 2: Lead - in T: Look at the big picture on the screen. What can you see? S4: I can see some people walking in the mountains. T: Right. They are going on a trip in the mountains. Now, think about it. If you are going on a trip like this, what kind of rules and suggestions do you think you should follow? Discuss with your partner for a minute. (Students discuss) T: Stop here. Who would like to share your ideas? S5: We should wear comfortable shoes. T: Good suggestion. Why is it important to wear comfortable shoes? S5: Because we will walk a long way, and uncomfortable shoes may hurt our feet. T: That's very reasonable. What else? S6: We mustn't walk alone. T: Absolutely! Walking alone in the mountains can be very dangerous. So we must stay with the group. Any other ideas? S7: We should take enough water. T: Yes, water is essential. What will happen if we don't take enough water? S7: We may get thirsty and even dehydrated. T: Great! As you can see, there are many rules and suggestions when we go on a trip. Today, we are going to learn more about them in our new text. Step 3: Pre - listening T: Now, let's look at some new words and phrases in this unit. On the screen, you can see “set off”. Can you guess what it means? S8: Maybe it means start a journey. T: You are so smart! “Set off” indeed means to start a journey. For example, we will set off for the mountains tomorrow. Next word, “proper”. What does “proper” mean? S9: It means suitable or right. T: Correct. We should wear proper clothes for the trip. Now, look at “edge”. What's the meaning of “edge”? S10: It means the outer or furthest limit of something. T: Good. For example, don't walk too close to the edge of the cliff. Another word, “yourself”. Pay attention to its pronunciation. It's pronounced as /jɔːˈself/. And it's a reflexive pronoun. We use it when the subject and the object of a verb are the same person. For example, You should take care of yourself. T: Now, let's look at the picture in Activity 1 again. There are some people walking in the mountains. I will describe some situations, and you tell me what rules or suggestions you can give. If someone wants to wear sandals for the mountain walk, what would you say? S11: You mustn't wear sandals. You should wear strong shoes. T: Very good. What if someone wants to run on the narrow path in the mountains? S12: You mustn't run on the narrow path. You might fall. T: Great job! You are already using modal verbs very well to give rules and suggestions. Step 4: Listening T: Now, let's listen to a conversation. Mr Jackson is giving some rules and suggestions to a group of students who are going on a trip. Listen carefully and answer the questions on the screen. (Play the recording for the first time) T: OK, stop. Let's check the answers. The first question is: When is Betty leaving for the trip? Who knows? S13: Betty is leaving tomorrow. T: Right. And the second question: What does Mr Jackson say about the clothes? S14: Mr Jackson says they should always wear proper clothes. T: Correct. Now, let's listen to the recording again. This time, try to write down Mr Jackson's rules and suggestions. (Play the recording for the second time) T: Time's up. Let's share your notes. Who wants to start? S15: We should always wear proper clothes. We mustn't walk too close to the edge of the hill path. T: Good. What else? S16: We mustn't go off on our own. We have to keep together. T: Very good. And? S17: We mustn't drink all our water in one go. We must be careful of falling stones. T: Well done, everyone. You have listened very carefully. Step 5: Reading and Comprehension T: Now, open your books to the text of Unit 1. Let's read the conversation together. Pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation. (Students read the text aloud together) T: Stop here. Let's look at the sentences one by one. “Before we set off, there are a few rules and suggestions for you.” What does “set off” mean again? Ss: Start a journey. T: Right. And “Whenever you go walking in the hills, you should always wear proper clothes.” Why does Mr Jackson say “whenever”? S18: Because it means no matter when they go walking in the hills, they should wear proper clothes. T: Exactly. “Whenever” is used to emphasize that the rule applies at any time. Now, “You mustn't walk too close to the edge of the hill path because you might fall and hurt yourselves.” What will happen if they walk too close to the edge? S19: They might fall and get hurt. T: So, this is a very important rule. Next, “You mustn't go off on your own. You have to keep together so you don't get lost.” Why can't they go off on their own? S20: Because they may get lost. T: Good. And “You can't go rock climbing today because it's too dangerous.” Why can't they go rock climbing? S21: Because it's too dangerous. T: Right. Mr Jackson is very concerned about the safety of the students. Now, “You must be careful of falling stones.” Falling stones can be very dangerous. How can they be careful of falling stones? S22: They should look up from time to time and not stay under big rocks. T: That's a good idea. Step 6: Language Points Explanation T: Let's summarize the language points we've learned. First, we use modal verbs “should”, “must”, “mustn't”, “can't” and “have to” to give rules and suggestions. “Should” is used to give advice. For example, You should wear a hat in the sun. It's not as strong as “must”. “Must” is used when something is necessary or very important. We must follow the traffic rules. “Mustn't” means something is not allowed. You mustn't smoke in the hospital. “Can't” also means something is not allowed, and it often implies that there is a good reason. You can't park here. It's a no - parking zone. “Have to” is used to talk about something that is necessary because of a rule or a situation. I have to wear a uniform at school. T: Now, let's do some exercises to practice these modal verbs. On the screen, you can see some sentences. Fill in the blanks with the correct modal verbs. (Show the exercises on the screen) You _ wear a helmet when you ride a bike. (must) You _ eat too much junk food. It's not good for your health. (shouldn't) We _ be quiet in the library. (must) You _ play football in the street. It's dangerous. (mustn't) I _ finish my homework before I watch TV. (have to) (Students do the exercises and then check the answers together) Step 7: Group Work T: Now, it's time for group work. Suppose you are going on a trip to the beach/mountains/countryside/theatre. Work in groups of four and make a list of rules and suggestions. You can use the modal verbs we've learned. 10 minutes for you to discuss and write them down. (Students work in groups) T: Stop here. Each group sends a representative to the front and share your rules and suggestions. Group 1: If we go to the beach, we should wear swimsuits and sunscreen. We mustn't swim alone. We have to be careful of the waves. T: Great! What about Group 2? Group 2: If we go to the mountains, we should wear hiking boots and warm clothes. We mustn't pick the wild flowers. We have to follow the guide. T: Well done. Group 3? Group 3: If we go to the countryside, we should bring some insect repellent. We mustn't litter. We have to be friendly to the local people. T: Very good. Group 4? Group 4: If we go to the theatre, we should dress neatly. We mustn't talk loudly. We have to turn off our mobile phones. T: All of you have done an excellent job. You have used the modal verbs correctly to make rules and suggestions. Step 8: Summary T: Today, we have learned a lot. We learned how to use modal verbs to give rules and suggestions. We also learned some new words and phrases like “set off”, “proper”, “edge” and so on. Remember, rules and suggestions are very important in our daily life, especially when we go on a trip. They can keep us safe and make our trip more enjoyable. T: After class, please review what we've learned today and do the exercises in the workbook. Step 9: Homework T: For your homework, I want you to write a passage about the rules and suggestions for a trip you want to take. You can choose any place you like, such as a forest, a desert or a big city. Use at least five modal verbs. Write it on your notebook and bring it to class tomorrow. T: That's all for today's class.
