Description

A short reading text extracted from Debrett's Guide to Mobile phone etiquette provides the context for Ss to practice common ways of expressing obligation using must, have to and should. Ss will also work on silent letters and later practice linking in phrase with modals of obligation. Then they put the new grammar into practice in a peaking activity about phone manners.
