allow v.允许，准许 允许; drive v.驾驶；驾车 驾驶； pierce v 刺穿；刺破 刺穿；

license(＝licence) n．执照；许可证 执照； silly adj．愚蠢的；傻的 愚蠢的；

Say the words and have students repeat over and over again until they are pronounced fluently and accurately. Write the words \"can do\" and \"can’t do\" side by side on the blackboard. Then ask students questions about things that their parents say they can and can't do.

T: Wei Ming, do your parents let you play soccer ball after school? W: No. They say I must put my heart into studies.

T: I see.

(Write play soccer ball under can't do on the blackboard.) T: Liu Chang, do your parents let you surf the Internet? L: Yes. It is helpful to my study. T: I see.

(Write surf the Internet under can do on the blackboard. ) „

Ask some more questions and add more examples to both columns. Ensure that the blackboard ends up like this:

can do surf the Internet, can’t do play soccer ball, „ „

Now write on the blackboard the headlines \"is allowed to\" and \"isn’t allowed to\" instead of \"can do\" and \"can’t do\". The blackboard looks like this: is allowed to； isn’t allowed to... surf the Internet play soccer ball „

„

Say, Liu Chang can surf the Internet at home. She is allowed to surf the Internet. (Write the sentence on the blackboard)

Wei Ming can’t play soccer ball after school. He isn’t allowed to play soccer ball. (Write the sentence on the blackboard)

Ask students to repeat each sentence. Repeat this practice with all the items on the lists. Read the instructions to the class.

Set a time limit of one or two minutes for students to read the sentences or invite a more advanced student to read them aloud to the class instead. Ask students to tell you what's their attitude to each sentence. For example, for the first sentence, a student might say, I think it's OK for us to go out every night. We need to relax our minds after a hard day at school. Another student might say, I think it is unnecessary for us to go out every night. We shouldn't relax in our efforts. It’s a waste of time. Say, Please circle A for agree or D for disagree for each sentence on your own. When all the students are finished, ask students to raise their hands to show which things are or aren’t allowed to do.
