18、weather like in ？天气怎样？= How is the weather in ? Its snowy (cloudy, rainy, sunny, windy.). 下雪(多云、下雨、晴、有风)3. although this year it snowed a lot. 虽然今年下了很多雪。althoughconj. 然而； 尽管， 引导的从句不能与 but, however 连用， 但可与 yet,still 连用。例如：1) 虽然他很累，但他继续工作。Although he was tired, he went on working.= He was tired, but h

19、e went on working.2) 尽管他相当忙，但是还常常帮我学英语。He often helps me with my English although he is quite busy.He is quite busy, but he often helps me with my English although.4.

20、) , or well be late. 我们最好现在就走，不然要迟到了。5. Its probably sunny and hot there. 那里的天气可能晴朗、热。Itll probably be cold tomorrow. 明天可能冷。probably adv. 大概；或许；很可能英语中表示可能的方式有许多，除使用情态动词 may / might 以外，还可以通过 will 以及表示“可能”的形容词和副词表达。常用的有：It is possible to do sth. ., It is possible that , 主语 + willprobably / possibly +

21、v.等。例如：Is it possible to visitAlaska in December? 十二月去阿拉斯加游览有可能吗？It is possible that itll be snowy in the night. 晚上有可能会下雪。Itll probably be cold and wet 天气很可能会又湿又冷。probably 表示“很可能” ，所以表示的可能性要比 possible 大。Step 9 Grammar情态动词 may 和 might一、表示允许或请求may 和 might 表示允许或请求时，意为“可以”。其中，might 表示的语气较委婉（不表示过去） 。如：Ma

22、y I come tomorrow?Might I have a cup of coffee?I asked her if I might call and see her.You may leave at any time.You may use the room if you keep it clean.二、表示推测may 和 might 都可以用来表示推测，意为“也许；可能”。它们的否定形式分别是 may not 和 might not。如：I think David may be at school.That woman may not be Marks mother.How long

23、 might the travel take?Susan might not return tomorrow.注意：may 和 might 表推测时， may 比 might 表示的可能性要大一些； 而 might 使说话的语气更加委婉，表示实现的可能性比较小。【运用】根据括号内所给提示将下列汉语句子翻译成英语。1. 这块手表不是你的。它可能是谁的呢？(may)The watch isnt yours.

Read through the example sentences in the box with the whole class.It might snow.Its probably sunny and hot there.Bring a map because you may want to travel around.2.Ask the students to repeat the sentences in the box.Step 3 Grammar情态动词本身有一

46、定的词义，为谓语动词增添情态色彩，表示说话人对有关行为或事物的态度和看法，认为其可能、应该或必要等。我们学习过的 can 和may 都属于这类词。情态动词无人称和数的变化，情态动词后面接的动词需要原形，否定式是在情态动词后面加 not,当我们想表达可能发生某事以及可能做某事时，可以用 may / might 表示。例如：Its cloudy too, so it might snow.也是阴天，所以有可能会下雪。Bring a map because you may want to travel around.带张地图，因为你可能想四处走走。There may be a few showers

47、, so bring an umbrella with you.可能会有阵雨，所以随身带把伞吧。might 与 may 没有太大的区别，形式上 might 是 may 的过去式，但在表示将来的可能情况时，might 表示的可能性比 may 表示的可能性还要小。例如：Take your swimwear because you might want to go swimming in the sea.带上游泳衣吧，说不定你想要到海里游泳呢。英语中表示可能的方式有许多，除使用情态动词 may / might 以外，还可以通过will 以及表示 “可能” 的形容词和副词表达。 常用的有： It is

48、 possible to do sth. .,It is possible that , 主语+will probably / possibly + v.等。例如：Is it possible to visitAlaska in December?十二月去阿拉斯加游览有可能吗？It is possible that itll be snowy in the night.晚上有可能会下雪.Itll probably be cold and wet天气很可能会又湿又冷。probably 表示“很可能” ，所以表示的可能性要比 possible 大。Step 4 Exercises.1.Ask th
