Introduction

Good morning/afternoon, class! Today we'll be exploring the importance of using the word "should" in our everyday lives. Have you ever heard the word "should" before? What does it mean? Let's find out together!

Definition

The word "should" is often used to give advice, make suggestions, or to express opinions about what is right or wrong. For example, "You should wear a helmet when riding your bike" or "We should recycle plastic bottles to protect the environment."

Examples

Let's look at some more examples of "should" sentences:

• We should always say "please" and "thank you" to show good manners.
• You should brush your teeth twice a day to keep them clean and healthy.
• Students should listen to their teachers in order to learn and succeed in school.
• We should be kind to others, even if they are different from us.
• You should read every day to improve your English skills.

Activity

Now, let's do an activity to practice using "should" sentences. I will give you a situation, and you will come up with a "should" sentence that fits the scenario.

Situation: It's snowing outside.

Example answer: We should wear warm coats, hats, and gloves to stay cozy and protect ourselves from the cold.

Let's begin the activity!
