• Tell the class about a problem you or a friend has
  \nFor example: My friend Roger is getting quite fat. My sister Angela has been dumped by her\u00a0<\/span>boyfriend and is heartbroken<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
• You could write up these problems on the board<\/li>\n
• Elicit or present the language used to respond to such statements:
  \n<\/span>should or ought to
  \n<\/span>Roger should eat less.\u00a0<\/em>Angela should forget him and find a nicer boy to go out with.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  GRAMMAR:<\/strong><\/p>\n

  Positive<\/strong>: I\/you\/he\/she\/it\/we\/you\/they should\/ought to do more exercise.
  \n<\/span>Negative<\/strong>: I\/you\/he\/she\/it\/we\/you\/they shouldn\u2019t\/oughtn\u2019t to\/ought not to eat fatty food.<\/p>\n

  Question: Should I apply for this job?<\/p>\n

  Use should\/ought to to say that something is a good idea or the right thing to do. Use shouldn\u2019t to say something is not a good idea or the wrong thing to do.
  \nHe should apply for the job.\u00a0<\/em>They shouldn\u2019t take the bus.<\/em><\/p>\n

  Should\/ought to is not as strong as have to.
  \nYou have to go to the doctor. (= it is necessary to go) <\/em>
  \n You should go to the doctor. (= it is a good idea)<\/em><\/p>\n

  The phrases below can also be used to give advice:<\/strong>
  \nWhy don\u2019t you try the fish? <\/em>
  \n Try reading more books.<\/em><\/p>\n

  \n
  • Divide students into groups of three. Ask each student to write down two\u00a0problems they have in their lives (they can be imagined). Then each group\u00a0<\/span>gathers together their problems and swaps them with another group\u2019s problems\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The students then discuss what advice to give each problem as stated by the\u00a0other group<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Bring the two groups together and ask them to feedback to each other their\u00a0<\/span>advice<\/span><\/li>\n
  • To practise questions, collect all the problems and deal out two to each student<\/span><\/li>\n
  • In groups of three, students then ask each other questions according to the\u00a0<\/span>problem on their slip of paper
    \n<\/span>E.g. My tooth hurts a lot.<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>Should I go to the dentist?\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  • Students can then affirm the questions (Yes, you should) or suggest alternative\u00a0<\/span>advice<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
