Love Clinic
Perfect way to combine a Valentine�s Day theme with the "should" modal. I recommend using 2 periods for this. First, have students read a letter from an advice column about romance. This would be a good time to introduce romance-related vocabulary. (Sorry, no handouts for this, yet.) Then, have students write their own fictional "love problem"...

3 Steps to Writing a Speech or Essay
In Japan, a lot of junior high and high school students are expected to write and give English speeches. But what I�ve found is that they lack an understanding of the writing process, and end up either having their teacher basically write it for them, or with a very messy, ineffective end result.
