It's high time that we took these issues more seriously.

We ought to visit the shops less.

Step II Grammar

Get the students to learn to use the subjunctive correctly.

Deal with Exercise 5.

Read the instructions and check that students understand what to do. Students do the exercise. Work in pairs, reading the sentences and doing the matching exercise.

After that, let students read the Grammar Summary 5, page 102. Then show the following on the PowerPoint.

T: The subjunctive mood is very common in formal writing and in speech, and particularly after verbs such as demand, insist, recommend, suggest, and wish, nouns and adjectives such as demand, essential, important, insistence, proposal, suggestion; and conjunctions such as although, as if, as though, if and unless. In this unit, we mainly learn about these complex sentences:

(1) suggest, advise, recommend, propose, order, command, request, require, demand + that clause (should do/do )

He suggested that we (should) save money for the future. (insist根据判断)

(2) It is suggested/advised/ordered/requested/required + that-clause(should do/do) (主语从句)

(3) My advice/suggestion/request/requirement is + that-clause (should do /do) （表语从句）

His suggestion/advice/request/requirement + that-clause(should do/do ) is...（同位语从句）

(4) It is natural/necessary/strange + that-clause (should do/do) 表惊奇、怀疑、惋惜、不满、理应如此等。

It's strange that he should have missed the train. （表竟然）

It is important that we should learn from others.（表理应如此）

It is a pity that he should not go with us. (表惊讶、不满)
