Suggested Answers: celebration, religious, Christians, origin, custom, as though, have a fun with, belief Step 3. Grammar point 1. Explain for Ss the grammar point: the modal verb (1) can/could 可以表示能力、许诺、请求或某种可能性，could还可用于：

①

提出委婉的请求，（注意在回答中不可用could）。例如：

— Could I have the television on? 我能看电视吗？

— Yes, you can. / No, you can't. 可以/不可以。

②

在否定句、疑问句中表示推测或怀疑。例如：

He couldn't be a bad man. 他不大可能是坏人

(2) may/might 表示允许或请求；表示没有把握的推测；may 放在句首，表示祝愿。

might 表示推测时，不表示时态，只是可能性比may 小。

(3) will/would 克表示请求、许诺、同意、过去的习惯等。但需要注意：

① would like；would like to do = want to 想要，为固定搭配。例如：

Would you like to go with me? 想和我一块去吗？

② Will you…?

Would you like…? 表示肯定含义的请求劝说时，疑问句中一般用some, 而不是any。例如：

Would you like some cake? 吃点蛋糕吧。

③

否定结构中用will，一般不用would, won't you是一种委婉语气。

Won't you sit down? 你不坐下吗？

(4) shall/should可以表示推测、判断或建议。shall指现在，should指过去。

(5) must/can’t指推测或猜想

must用在肯定句中表示较有把握的推测，意为“一定”，否定推测用can't。
