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,

I.情态动词may/ might
情态动词,在英文中主要用来表示说话人的看法、态度等。
特点:
1)各个情态动词自身都有一定的词义。
2)情态动词不能在句中独立担当谓语。
3)情态动词在句中不受任何人称,性别和数变化的影响。
4) 情态动词后接动词原形。
英文中的情态动词主要有:can , could ; may , might ; must ; need 等。另外,shall , will , should , would在一定的场合也可用作情态动词。
may/ might 的用法
情态动词may / might,没有人称和数的变化,在句子中不能单独作谓语。后面直接跟动词原形(即不带to 的不定式)构成合成谓语,常用于下列几种情况:
1. may/ might表示请求许可时,译为"可以"。might表示的语气更加委婉、在回答提问时常常用cannot、must not来表达否定意思。
例如:
May I leave the book with you?
我可以把这本书交给你吗?
Yes,you may / can.
No,you can’t / mustn’'t.
2. may/ might表示可能性时,常译成“也许,可能”等,might 的可能性比may要小。这时,否定形式常用may not/might not。例如:
She may/ might go to Shanghai next week.
下周她可能到上海去。
Bring your swimsuit because you might want to
swim in the sea.
He may(may not) come here tomorrow.
他明天也许会(不会)来这儿。
II.表示可能的方式
1.may/ might
It may/ might be warm in February.
2.使用表示可能的形容词:
It’s possible that…
It’s possible to do sth.
例如:
It’s possible that it’ll be snowy.
It's possible to have a test today.
3. 其他副词:probably, maybe, perhaps...
