Unit 2 Stay Healthy
Section A Grammar Focus 4a - 4d
一、Instruction Aims
1. Be able to properly use the modal verbs "should", "shouldn't" and "could" to express suggestions.
2. Be able to learn to politely offer health advice to others in English and establish the language awareness of giving "reasonable advice".
二、Focal & Difficult Points(重难点)
Distinguish the tone differences between "should" (" should ", with a stronger tone)
and "could" (" can ", with a more gentle tone) in suggestion scenarios.
三、Teaching Steps
Step 1 Lead-in
Quick Response
Present health issues (such as a sore throat, a toothache), and the student uses “You
should(not)...” to answer suggestions in order to review related expressions.
Step 2 Identify the form of the modal verbs and reflexive pronouns(4a)
Ask students to read the sentences in 4a together and underline the modal verbs for advice and circle the reflexive pronouns.
What's wrong
I ate too much last night. Now my stomach aches.
You shouldn't eat so much next time.
What's the matter
I have a really bad toothache.
You should see the dentist and get an X-ray. You could eat some soft food for now.
How did you hurt yourself
I hurt myself when I fell off my bike.
Be more careful next time. If we are not careful, we can easily hurt ourselves.
(2)Summary of the modal verbs
“Should” means obligation or necessary suggestion with a relatively strong tone.
“Shouldn’t” means prohibited or not recommended behaviors with a relatively strong tone.
“Could” means an optional suggestion with a relatively gentle tone.
(3)Summary of reflexive pronouns
Reflexive pronouns are in the same person as the subject.
Common structures: hurt oneself, by oneself, enjoy oneself.
Step 3 Use reflexive pronouns in sentences(4b)
(1)T:Complete the sentences using the correct reflexive pronouns in 4b.
1. The girl cleaned the cut on her arm by ____________.
2. Be careful when you're using the knife! Don't cut ____________.

5. The students are young, but they know how to protect ____________.

Check answers with students and analyze the functions of to do:
4b 1. herself 2. yourself 3. ourselves
4. himself 5. themselves 6. itself
(2)Sort out the core phrase and sentence patterns.

Then ask students to make sentences with these patterns.
Step 4 Complete the passage with the infinitive forms of the verbs in the box.(4c)
Mobile phones are useful, but you ____________ use them wisely. To protect your eyes, every 20 minutes, you ____________ rest your eyes and look at something far away. What's more, you ____________ change your screen's brightness to try and match your environment and make the words on the screen bigger. Of course, you____________ look at your phone just before you go to bed, and you certainly ____________ look at it when you cross the road! In fact, you ____________ avoid using your phone too often. You ____________ listen to music instead of watching videos. You ____________ also talk to your friends instead of sending them messages.
