Guía didáctica: Communicative Grammar III Once you go through the information in “Grammar Notes you can check your understanding of what you have read in “Grammar Notes” by doing the exercises in the sections “Focused Practice” and “Communication Practice” in your textbook. These activities will be very useful as they are a preparation for the on-site exams. Let’s continue with modals of advice. 3.4. Advice: Should, Ought to, Had better You will begin this part of your textbook with a comprehensive reading of an interesting article about being polite on the Internet. Additionally, you have a list of cyberwords with their meanings that will help you understand the article called “Netiquette 101.” I also suggest you check your understanding by answering the following questions: Exercise: What kind of advice does the article give? _______________________________________________________________ What should you do before posting your own ideas? _______________________________________________________________ Why shouldn’t you use capital letters? _______________________________________________________________ Why should you count to ten before replying to a message that made you angry? _______________________________________________________________ What do emoticons show? _______________________________________________________________ Why shouldn’t you use your real name on the Internet? _______________________________________________________________ After completing the exercise above, look at the charts in the section “Grammar Presentation”. You will see the structure of statements, yes/no questions, short answers and Wh- questions using the modals should, ought to, and had better. This chart is useful to start reading the section “Grammar Notes” in which you will learn about ways to give and ask for advice. I hope these modals are easy to understand. Now you can begin to work on the sections “Focused Practice” and “Communication Practice” in your textbook. Once you understand the use of these modals of advice you can move on to the next point about modals and expressions of suggestion.

Guía didáctica: Communicative Grammar III 3.5. Suggestions: Let’s, Could, Why don’t, Why not, How about You have reached the last part of this unit which focuses on ways to make suggestions and ways to agree or disagree with them. First of all, do activities “Before you Read” and “After you Read” in the section “Grammar in Context”, which contains a conversation. Remember to focus your attention on the words in bold letters. These words are related to the point that you are studying. By the way, the following cultural note will help you in your reading: CULTURAL NOTE “Youth hostels are run by the International Youth Hostel Association. They offer inexpensive accommodations for travelers, and they are very popular with students. However, older people and non-students also use them.” Tiberio (2006) I hope this information is helpful. How about answering the following comprehension questions? Exercise: Why are youth hostels a good choice for students? _______________________________________________________________ What is special about each of the hostels on the website? _______________________________________________________________ Is the activity easy? I bet it is. Now compare the words in bold letters in the conversation with the structures in the charts of the section “Grammar Presentation” in your textbook. Besides that, read the explanations and examples in the section “Grammar Notes”. Once you get this information you can begin to work on the sections “Focused Practice” and “Communication Practice” in order to reinforce what you have learned. Remember that you can contact me if you need help with your activities. Suggested activity It is also useful to do the activities in the section called “From Grammar to Writing” which includes the grammar points studied and relates them to the writing focus.
