ESL/EFL Writing Activity - Pre-intermediate - 30 Minutes
In this pairwork activity, students
practice modal verbs of obligation for describing different situations.
The teacher starts the teaching activity by writing 'How to pass an
exam' on the board. Then, under the sentence, the teacher writes the
modal verbs of obligation: You have to... You mustn't... You should... You don't have to... You must... You shouldn't...
The students give examples to complete each sentence. Next, the
students are spilt into pairs and given six 'How to' cards. The students
are then given another 'How to' situation. The pairs race to write six
sentences expressing obligation for the given situation. As soon as a
pair has finished their sentences, they read out their sentences to the
class. If their sentences are correctly formed and match the situation,
they win the round. Six rounds are played in all.
