At the same time, write the four words “must”, “could”, “might” and “cant” on the blackboard, leaving space next to each word.T: Boys and girls, try to think, what does it mean when you say something must be true? Youre very sure about it. When we say “It might be true.” we are least certain about it. The following percentage may help us understand them better. Show the following. must100%might20-80%could20-80% cant0 T: We know that the four words may all be used in other ways. “must” also mean that it is necessary for someone to do something. For example, “You must get to school early.” The meaning is different from that in “It must belong to Carla.”Ask the Ss to talk about the other three words in this way, trying to give sentences that show different meanings. S1: In the sentence “It can be Johns”, “can” shows the meaning of making inferences. But in the sentence “He can speak French”, it means he is able to speak French.Then ask the Ss to put the following sentences into English one by one orally.1 这本书一定是李雷的。他正在找这本书。2 这个发带可能是韩梅的。她喜欢戴发带。3 这个玩具可能是约翰的妹妹的。她还是个小姑娘。4. 这个排球不是玛丽的。她根本不喜欢排球。Sample answers: 1.

T: In order to read through the message, we should put these parts in the correct order. The first one is given. Ask the Ss to make inferences: What should be the next?S1: I think it could be followed by the second sentence. Linda cant find her backpack, she is anxious. It cant be at her home. It must be somewhere else. It might be in the symphony hall. So I choose the second one. T: Reasonable. S2: So Linda calls Anna to help her find it. But Anna isnt at home. T: Thats why Linda writes to her. So next?S3: Next Linda has to ask Anna for help. Because she really needs it.For the right order, students may have different opinions. Encourage them to show their own opinions. So long as their inferences are reasonable, thats OK.
