A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until they have compared answers.
- Read the study advice and distinguish a recommendation from a compulsory rule.
- Complete A–C using the cycling-trip context; remove unnecessary to and avoid do in should questions.
- Write advice for a visitor and exchange suggestions for English-learning routines.
Support and extension
Supply problem/advice pairs. Extend with a reason; accept different sensible advice and keep the distinction between should and must clear.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
