Поздравления с Рождеством

I wish you the kind of Christmas, That's filled with special things, The day that's long remembered For all the joy it brings!

Я желаю Вам (тебе) такого Рождества,

Которое наполнено особыми вещами,

Дня, который долго вспоминается

Из-за всей приносимой им радости!

May this winter bring you love, That is blessed from high above. Get a happy Christmas day And all fears go away!

Пусть эта зима принесёт тебе любовь,

Благословенную небесами.

Пусть у тебя будет счастливый Рождественский день

И все твои страхи уйдут прочь!

Christmas brings us closer, It's a special time of year, A family time and one to share With those who are most dear!

Рождество делает нас ближе,

Это - особое время года,

Время, которое каждый делит с семьёй

И теми, кто ему наиболее дорог!

How to Teach Modal Verbs

There are a couple methods you can use to teach students modal verbs. One is to introduce only a few words at a time and complete several practice activities before attempting to introduce additional vocabulary. Another way you can teach modal verbs is to structure your lessons around their uses. You could leave all the modal verbs written on the board for the whole chapter but use only the ones appropriate for giving advice in one lesson and asking for permission in another for instance.

Let’s look at the second method in more detail.

Follow These Steps To Teach Modal Verbs

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

1. 1
   Introduce all modal
2. Start by introducing all the modal verbs you wish to talk about. This may include can, could, may, might, must, will, would, shall, should, and ought to but, depending on the level of your class, you can narrow it down to those you feel are most important. Obviously there are no images that can help students understand the meanings of these words so you can do pronunciation practicesimply by pointing to the words on the board. In your introduction you can cover some rules that apply to all modal verbs. Unlike most verbs, no -s is needed to form the third person singular. For example “He should ~.” is correct, while “He work.” is incorrect. Adding not forms the negative structure. Additionally they always require another verb because they cannot act as the main verb in a sentence and they only have present tense forms so unlike the word swim, there is no past tense form for modals. This may seem like a long and confusing introduction but it is best after the pronunciation practice to simply write the modals and their rules off to the side of the board for reference.
3. 2
   Ability/Inability and Possibility/Impossibility
4. Modals are often used to talk about abilities and possibilities or lack of them. Some of the words you want to focus on in this section are can, could, may, and might. Talk to your students about things they can do and practice using can in the target structure because this will be the easiest word to start off with (see our CAN worksheets). Next you should talk about might because it is also commonly used when talking about present possibilities such as “We can’t play music in class because the other classes might be taking tests.” which nicely combines the two words in one sentence. Building upon that, talk about how could and may are used to discuss future abilities and possibilities and also how couldcan be used to talk about the past in a sentence such as “When I was a child, I could climb trees.” So as you can see just this one section on modals can take awhile. It is best to introduce structures gradually and to plan lots of practice activities for each.
5. 3
   Other Uses
6. You can center another lesson on asking for permission or making an offer or request. Can, could, may, shall, will, and would can all be used so you might want to break this up into pairs by introducing can and could, will and would, and finally may and shall. In other lessons you can cover using modals to make suggestions and give advice, to talk about obligations and prohibitions, and lastly cover using ought to and should to say what the correct action would be for instance “She ought to see a doctor.” or “We should be quiet while the teacher is talking.” For some classes it is not necessary to cover all the different uses of modal verbs so feel free to choose what is most important and then cover those items thoroughly before moving on to the next topic.
7. 4
   Combination
8. If you cover many different uses of modal verbs in your class, be sure to have a lesson which combines them again. It makes sense to start with all the words you plan to cover in the first class and finish the same way. Since students have been focusing on just one use at a time, this lesson will bring to their attention the range of uses these words have and really challenge them. Fill in the blank and multiple choice worksheets may be appropriate and of course you can conduct role plays based on the different uses of modal verbs too.

Modal verbs have many uses. Teachers should review the uses of modals carefully before introducing them and think about what students would most benefit from studying so that plenty of time can be dedicated to those items. Leaving out some modals or some uses of modals is not the end of the world and may just give your students a better chance of understanding what is covered.

School subjects – speaking activities

  Speaking activities are the most important component of English courses using communicative   approach. However, it is very difficult to find quality speaking activities that would work. That is    why I would like to publish a speaking activity here once a week. 

 To be able to complete the task successfully, students will need the following sets of  language: the verb HAVE (or have got) and the names of the school subjects.

 If you have not taught the school subjects yet, it is necessary to do so before you start the  speaking activities. For the following tasks, your students need to know the following school  subjects:

                                   

   The other set of language your students need to know is the usage of the verb HAVE for              questions like “What subject has she got on Monday?” or sentences like “She has chemistry on     Monday at 11 o’clock.” You can find materials for teaching the verb HAVE GOT here. Once your     students know the vocabulary and grammar you can move to the next part. Please, do not skip       this step. Otherwise, your students might be either very quiet or use their native language to           accomplish  the tasks.
                          The first activity is called Information gap. 
                        In this task students trade missing    pieces of information to complete their sheet.

Information gap – in class

       Put the students in pairs.

       Hould up an example of the two sheets and explain that you’ll give each pair an A              sheet    and a B sheet.

      Each sheet has a school timetable, but each sheet has only part of the timetable. Pairs       need to work together to find out their missing information so that they end up with two       complete and identical sheets.

     Distribute the papers. Tell them not to look at each other’s papers. Let the students do        the  task.
     Once they finish they can show each other the sheets and compare them.

     Here are the two sheets:

                      

Pair speaking       activity School subjects sheets

           Battle: Find it first – in class         In this task, students work in groups of three and they take turns   asking yes/no    questions to identify the picture            that one student has in mind.

         Print out one copy of the sheet (all 9 timetables) for each student.

        Hold up one of the sheets and show everyone that the sheet contains nine timetables        that   are similar yet different. Students need to listen, think and then ask questions so         that      they can guess which picture the person is thinking about.

     Put the students in groups of three.

     Student A will pick a timetable and then students B and C will take turns asking yes/no       questions to try to identify A’s timetable. B begins with a yes/no question. If A answers       yes then B continues. If A answers no, then c asks a question. The goal is the to be           the person who gets a yes answer to the a question such as, “Is it Jane’s timetable?”

     After B or C has guessed A’s timetable, then A and C try to guess B’s timetable. Finally,      A  and B try to guess C’s timetable.

    The winner is the student who guesses most timetables.

     Here is the sheet each students should get:

                      

       I hope that you find the School subjects – speaking activities useful and that you will          use them in your classes. You can download the worksheets in pdf here. All the                 pictures  are in much better quality here:
