That's English - Module 5 - unit 4: Sports

This is a very common topic because we usually like sports and do exercise; what's more, to do exercise has become more and more important in our lives. Here you are some questions to discuss with your partner(s):

• Do you play any sports? Which one? Why? (If not, give resons for not doing exercise)
• Do you think to do exercise is important? explain your point of view.
• What kind of sports do you prefer: individual sports or team sports? Compare both types and say advantages and disadvantages of both.
• Have you ever been in a match as a player / as a supporter? What about the experience?
• Choose one sport and describe it as much as possible.

You might have problems to know how to use GO-DO-PLAY; you can see this video to see the difference. To summarise and just in case it is not clear enough, remember the general rule:

• you play games and you usually play with a ball (football, tennis, basket...)
• you go+ ing (an activity): you go running, go skiing, go cycling...
• you do exercise and activities based on exercises like yoga, judo, karate, aerobics...

About grammar, this lesson pays attention to modals, especially those expressing probability and certainty. Here you are some exercises to work with MAY, MIGHT and COULD but there are some other modal forms included:

• exercise 1   exercise 2  and click here to practise with more modals if you like
• this song is a good example of the topic and of the modal CAN/COULD: click here to listen to Hall of Fame, the song of the Olympic Games in London.
