Boxing became an Olympic sport in 688 BC and is still popular today. The boxer uses his or her fists to punch the opponent’s head and body with the aim to knock the opponent out. Boxing is popular worldwide as a spectator sport and generates millions of US dollars through ticket revenue, merchandise, TV rights and pay-per-view packages of important boxing matches. Some people view boxing as archaic and an unnecessary display of violence while its supporters emphasize its self-expression and health benefits. Boxing is a good way to keep fit, but there is much speculation about the possible injuries, particularly to the brain, that can be incurred during boxing matches. Such speculation has resulted in tighter regulations over the safety of the boxers. Wrestling is an ancient sport and often appeared as the main event in the earliest Olympic Games. Wrestling exists in many different styles but only two styles feature in the Olympics, namely freestyle and Greco-Roman. Greco-Roman wrestling allows the use of only the participants’ upper bodies; however, freestyle allows the use of legs.

Normally, we start at 10 in the morning. We usually play squash for a few hours. In the afternoon, we go swimming
3. Jogging is my favorite sport. The reason for my loving it is that I think it has many benefits. To begin with, it enhances blood circulation and strengthens my lungs.

Step 4: Post-reading activities
1.Go over Part E and discuss the questions in pairs.
1. I think the Olympic Games help countries live peacefully side by side. The Olympic motto is ‘Swifter, Higher, and Stronger’. Athletes come from all around the world to compete in the Olympics. They each represent their own country and try to win medals for that country. However, it is not all about winning. Competing in the Olympic is a great honor and it is a great opportunity to meet talented athletes from all over the work. It is also a great opportunity to build relationships with other countries live peacefully, side by side.
2. I think Deng Yaping is the greatest Olympic athlete because she is unarguably the world’s greatest female table tennis player and has won virtually every female title in almost all the word table tennis competitions. The list of Deng’s accomplishments is long and impressive: four-time Olympic champion in table tennis, twice in singles at Barcelona and Atlanta, and twice in doubles with her partner Qiao Hong, in 1992 and 1996. As an experienced player she has nerves of steel and a determination to succeed. At 1.49 meters tall she is the greatest female player of all times. I admire her very much.
3. They set a great example. They work hard, are determined, strong-willed and have great confidence and perseverance. They show us that if you put your mind to something and work hard at it, you will succeed.
2. Let’s divide into several groups and discuss the following questions:
What is the spirit of the Olympic Games? What can you learn from it?
Do you think that “Swifter, Higher, Stronger” is a good motto not only for sports but also for life in general? Why?
Do you agree with the saying “The more gold medals a country wins, the stronger the country is.”? Why or why not?
Recently, there was news about athletes using drugs in the Olympic Games. What do you think of this? What can be done to prevent this kind of thing from happening again?
3. Next, let’s have a class debate on the following subject:
Hosting the Olympic Games is a great honor for a country, but at the same time it costs a lot of money. Do you think hosting the Olympics will be a good opportunity to develop the host country’s economy and tourism, or will it be a heavy burden on the economy?

Grammar and Usage
Step 1: General introduction
Step 2: Practice
1. Now look at the blackboard, I’d like you to explain the meanings of the different modal verbs used in this sentence:
I might/may/could/should/ought to/will/must watch the TV programme tonight.
When might is used, it shows that the speaker is uncertain whether he or she will do something.
When may is used, it shows that the speaker is s bit more certain than when might is used.
Could is more certain than may, but less certain than should and ought to. Should and ought to are more certain.
When we use will, we mean we are quite certain that we will do something.
If we use must, we are almost certain to do something.
2. If you want to have a look at your friend’s book, what do you say? (Can I have a look at your book?)
What does your friend say to you? (‘Of course, you can.’ Or ‘sorry/No, you can’t)
So can is also used to ask for permission, especially in informal or spoken English.
3. Now read Part 1 on page 28 to find out how modal verbs are used to talk about ability, obligation, certainty and permission. Pay attention to the three arrows that illustrate the degrees of obligation, certainty and permission when modal verbs are used.
4. Read part 2 and use modal verbs to make requests, suggestions or offers, and give advice. e.g.:
Will/Can you read the sentence once more? (To make a request.)
Shall we watch a film tonight? (To make a suggestion)
I will help you if you have any problems (To make an offer)
The manager is not in now. You should come back at three o’clock (To give advice)
5. Now please read the instructions for the exercise on page 29. Then complete the article individually and I will check the answers later.
(1) must (2) has to (3) must (4) must (5) should (6) ought to (7) could (8) may (9) could
6. Read Part 4 on page 28 and try your best to understand why the continuous form or the perfect form is used with a modal verb in the example sentences. First I’ll give you some examples:
John isn’t here to attend the party. He must be reviewing his notes for the big exam tomorrow. (The speaker thinks that John is reviewing his notes now.)
Tom knows nothing about the subject. He can’t have been at the lecture yesterday. (The speaker is sure that Tom did not go to the lecture yesterday.)
The money is gone. Who could have taken it? (The speaker does not know who has taken the money.)
Step 3: Comparison of some pairs of model verbs
comparison can, be able to shall, will need, dare mustn’t, needn’t
1. Read Part 1 on page 30 and find the differences between can and be able to.
•Be able to is more formal and less common than can when referring to ability.
•Be able to can be used in different tenses or after other modal verbs, for example, will /shall be able to , would/should be able to , have/has /had been able to, must/may/might be able to.
•Be able to can be used after the infinitive marker to.
•The past form of be able to is was/were able to.
•Can is more common and informal than be able to when referring to ability
•Can can be used to talk about a possible future action.
•The past form of can is could.
Now please make some sentences with be able to and can, using different tenses, or after modal verbs or in a to-infinitive.
2. Read Part 2 and then complete the chart below.
Shall Will
In affirmatives expressing promises expressing determinations or decisions
In questions making offers or suggestions for third person asking about willingness for the second and third person
Make some sentences using shall or will.
Let’s complete the dialogue ( Part B on page 31), and then read the dialogue in pairs to check your answers.
B (1) Shall (2) shall (3) will (4) will/shall (5) will (6) will/shall (7) shall/will
3. Read Part 3 which explains the use of mustn’t and needn’t and then make sentences
4. Read Part 4 which explains when to use need or dare as modal verbs
5. Read the instructions for Part A on page 31, and then complete the passage.
A (1) can (2) dare (3) can/could (4) may/might/could
(5) mustn’t/shouldn’t/can’t (6) mustn’t/shouldn’t/can’t (7) can (8)needn’t

Step 1: completing a new training schedule
You will be able to improve your listening skills by listening to a conversation between a coach and an athlete. Try to use the skills your have learnt in Skills building 1.
1. You are to know what you are going to listen to with the help of the instruction on page33. Read the training schedule and make some predictions if possible. Any new words to you?
Do you know what the word ‘decreased’ means here? We know the meaning of the word ‘increased’, which means ‘to get bigger in size or amount. ‘Decreased’ has the opposite meaning of ‘increased’. So what does it mean? (‘Decreased’ here means ‘to become less or fewer’)
Look at the word ‘per’. Can you guess the meaning of it? We often use the word together with words such as ‘day’, ‘week’ or ‘hour’. We can use this word in the sentence: The car can travel at 79 miles per hour. ‘Per hour’ means ‘every hour’ or ‘an hour’. From this, we know that ‘per day’ means ‘every day’ or ‘a day’.
After reading the sentence ‘Sports massages help to make muscles…’ can you guess the meaning of the word ‘massage’? Here is another sentence: ‘She gave me a back massage to help ease the pain.’ What do you think ‘massage’ mean? (‘Massage’ means ‘the action of rubbing or pressing part of one’s body’.)
2. Now please listen to the recording and complete the training schedule individually, and then check your answers in pairs to see if you got the same answers.

Coach: You need to increase that to two hours a day.
Athlete: Two hours?! What will I do during the extra hour every day?
Coach: You’ll have to do some strength-building exercises twice a week.
Athlete: What does that mean?
Coach: Strength training is doing exercises with weights, in a gym.
Athlete: Ok, that’s not too bad. What else?
Coach: You ought to have a sports massage every week.
Athlete: That sounds more like it! How will the massages help me? Will they make my muscles more flexible?
Coach: Not necessarily more flexible, but certainly more relaxed. You also have to do flexibility and balance training three times a week.
Athlete: Does that mean running and working out in the gym?
Coach: No, it means exercise such as yoga. It helps you focus your mind and train your body.
Athlete: It sounds tiring!
Coach: Yes, but you do get eight hours of sleep every night. Now, about your diet…
Athlete: So what should I eat?
Coach: First of all, lots of grains. That means things like rice and cereal.
And you can only eat white meat, such as chicken and fish. Red meat is not allowed.

Athlete: Okay, I can do that. And what should I drink?
Coach: You have to drink ten glasses of water a day. And no soft drinks.

Preparing
Entering a sport into or dropping one from the Olympics can be quite a long process. There are many requirements that must be met before a sport can be considered by the International Olympic Committee. You may look for information as much as you can in different sources.
