Subject: Re: My visit to Britain
Dear Ms Wang,
It is good to hear that you may visit Britain. I think the best
time to come is in October. It is usually warm and there may
be some rain. Make sure you bring an umbrella. It might be
cold too, so bring a sweater.
You may like to stay in a small hotel. You will not have to
pay much for it. When you arrive in London, you can buy a
weekly travel card to travel around the city.
I hope this helps you.
Yours,

the best time to come is…
Dear Lucy,
It’s good to hear that you may visit China. I think
the best time to come is in autumn. Most of the places in China are neither too hot nor too cold in this season. It’s the most comfortable time to travel. If you’re going to visit South China, you should probably bring an umbrella because there may be some rain.
You might like to stay in a hotel. You won’t have to
Pay much for it because hotels are not very expensive here. But I also invite you to stay in my home. I’m happy to be your guide during the holiday.
Looking forward to hearing all about your travel plans.
Best wishes,
Daming
Do you understand the words may, might, possible, possibly & probably
might 是 may 的过去式,但表示可能性时没有很大区别,只是表示一般将来的可能性时,might 比 may 的可能性要小。因为 might 和 may 都是情态动词,所以,他们后面应加动词原形,即:
S (主语) + might/may + do sth.
possible, possibly, probably 的常用结构:
It is possible that ....
It is possible to do sth.
S (主语) + will probably / possibly +
do sth.
probably表示的可能性比possibly要大。
Homework
