Period 3 grammar
Lead-in

(The teacher writes the three sentences on the blackboard. 1.So he can carry heavy books. 2. He couldn’t open the door by himself. 3. Could you open the door, please?)
T: Look at the three modal verbs in each sentence and try to get their meanings.
S: The modal verbs “can” and “couldn’t” mean one’s ability to do something. They are similar to “be able to do something”.
S: “could” in the third sentence means making a request..
T: Well-done! These are the basic meanings of “can” and “could” , which are quite familiar to you. Of course, there’re other meanings of them. So today we’ll focus on the five pairs of modal verbs.
2. Explanation of the use of modal verbs
1. can and could
表示能力（ability），指有能力做某事，意为“能够”。例如：
注意：表示现在，将来“能够”可用be able to 替换。表示过去“能够”并成功了只能用was/ were able to, 不能用could。例如
My grandma is over eighty, but she can/ is able to read without glasses.
We can/ will be able to talk about the matter later.
I talked with her for a long time, and at last I was able to make her believe me.(不能用could)
表示请求（request）或允许（permission）。意为“可否”、“可以”。 Could 比can 更有礼貌，在此不是can的过去式。
Can you wait a moment please?
Liz, can you do me a favor?
Excuse me, could you tell me the way to the station? I wonder if you could help me. (request)
---- Could I use your phone?
----Yes, of course. You can.
Do you think I could borrow your bike. (permission)
表示可能性（possibility）
a. can 表示泛指的“可能”， 并非说话者主观认为的可能性，即并非说话者的主观猜测。
Accident can happen to any drunken driver
b.表示说话者主观猜测，只能用与否定句或疑问句中。例如：
It can’t be my father. He is now in England.
----Can it rain tomorrow?
----No, it can’t.
2. may and might
1） 表示可能性（possibility）,用于对现在，过去或将来的推测，暗示不确定。might 不是may的过去式，它所表示的可能性比may 小，含较多的怀疑。
He may be very busy now. (可能性较大)
He might be very busy now. (可能性较小) 2） 表示许可（permission），表示允许别人做某事， 也可征求对方的许可。
He may go now.
We may keep the book for two weeks.
用于祈使句，表示祝愿。
May you succeed!
May you have a nice trip!
3. will and would
1）表示意愿
表示愿意做或主动提出做，如意志，愿望或决心等，例如： That bag looks heavy, I’ll help you with it.( offering to do sth)
---- You know that book I lent you. Can I have it back if you’ve finished with it?
---- Of course.. I’ll give it to you this afternoon.(agreement)
Thanks for lending me the money, I’ll pay you back on Friday. (promise)
表示习惯(habit, custom)
This old man is strange. He will sit for hours without saying anything.
We would sit around Grandpa after supper, listening to his stories.
3）表示请求（request）， 用于第二人称， would 比will 更委婉。 例如：
will you come this way, please?
Would you open the window?
4. shall and should
1）shall 的用法
a. shall 在疑问句中用于第一，第三人称，表示征求对方的意见。
Shall we put off the sports meeting until next month? Shall Tom go there with me tomorrow?
shall 用于第二，第三人称，表示说话人给对方的命令，警告，允诺或威胁。
You shall fail if you don’t work harder. （警告）
He shall have the book when I finish reading it.(允诺)
He shall be punished.(威胁)
2) should 的用法
a. should 表示劝告、建议、命令。
You should go to class right away.
b. should 表示期待，用于表达合理推断（prediction，意为“应该” ），或明显的结果（意为“可能”）且所期待的事几乎是事实。
It is three o’clock, the football game should begin now.
Mary took dancing lessons for years, she should be an excellent dancer.
5. must 与 can’t
must 用来表示“命令”、“推测”等含义。
1）表示规定、指令
表示规定、指令时主要指客观上的法律、条文规定，常常翻译为“应该、必须”之类意思。mustn’t 表示禁止
You must have a passport if you want to go abroad.
Drivers mustn’t drive after drinking.
2) 表示主观的命令、禁止
表示主观的命令、禁止时，主要指说话者主观的命令或强烈的劝告。
You can go out with your friend but you must come back before 11 at night.
----Must I hand in the exercise today?
----No, you needn’t.
3）表示猜测，语气非常肯定，近乎确定的意味，一般用于肯定句，意为肯定……。其否定为can’t，意为不可能…...
You must be ill. I can see it from your face.
He can’t be at home. I saw him in the classroom just now.
3 Summing up
From the demonstration of the modal verbs above, we can find most of them can be used to express certainty, but the degree of them is different.
He might be in the classroom. (quite not sure)
He may be in the classroom.
He could be in the classroom.
He should be in the classroom.
He must be in the classroom. (quite sure)

Reading
Teaching procedures
1.Lead-in
T: In the last period, we have learnt many kinds of festivals. Some are set in memory of the dead, some are set in honor of some great people and some are set in celebration of harvest. Do you know the festivals set for lovers?
S: Yes. Qiqiaojie in China and Valentine’s Day in western countries.
T: You are familiar with them. Look at the screen. Can you guess who the two lovers are?
S: Maybe they’re the weaving girl and the head boy – Niulang and Zhinv.
T: You’re right. Do you know something about them?
S: …
T: Then do you know something about Valentine’s Day, which are quite popular in China now?
S: …
T: (introduce the origin of Valentine’s Day) Today, we are going to learn a love story.
2.While-reading
T: Go through your text quickly and silently. Then finish the true or false exercises.
Hu Jin failed to meet Li Fang at 7:00.(T)
If it is raining on Qiqiaojie, it means that Zhinv is weeping and the couple will be able to meet.(F)
Because her most lovely daughter got married to a human secretly, the Goddess got very angry. (T)
Li Fang thought he could get married to Hu Jin, just like Niu Lang and Zhi Nu.(T)
When Li Fang met Hu Jin, he felt very glad.(The story didn’t tell us.)
T: Read the passage again and answer the following questions one by one.
Why was the TV story what Li Fang needed?
The TV story was a sad story about lost love---the same situation as Li Fang.
Why do people want the weather to be fine on Qiqiao Festival?
People want the weather to be fine so they can meet the one they love.
What more do you know about Qiqiao Festival?
(Answers will vary)
S: Li Fang: Made an appointment with Hu Jin—Waited in the coffee shop—Not met her—Heart-broken; along with…; like a fool—Would not hold his breath for her to apologize(wait without much hope); Would drown his sadness in coffee (drink coffee in order to forget the sadness/sorrow)—Gave up and threw…away—Met Hu Jin without gifts—Felt worried
Hu Jin: Made an appointment with Li Fang—Kept her word but waited in the tea shop—Not turned up in the coffee shop—Waited for him all the time—Met Li Fang with gifts
ENDING??
3. Post-reading
T: The two love stories happened in two different festivals. What are their similarities and differences? How should we treat Chinese traditional festivals and some western festivals?
S: …
T: Nowadays, some people pay more attention to the Valentine’s Day than Qiqiaojie, which was once one of the most popular festivals in ancient China. Anyway, each festival in China has its own tale and meaning. So we should hold on to our own festivals and culture, as well as pass them on from generation to generation. We should never allow some western festivals to take the place of Chinese traditional festivals.
Writing
T: Li Fang met Hu Jin after he lost heart and threw away the Valentine’s gifts. To his surprise, Hu Jin kept her word and waited for him in the tea shop all the time! What should he do? What would happen to the two lovers? Please write a different ending to the story of Li Fang, beginning with: As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way…
T: Before writing, you’d better read the story again and then think of what Hu Jin will say when she finds out later that the flowers and chocolates are gone. Then think of an ending to the story that will solve Li Fang’s problem. Will he be happy or sad?
