Climbing Everest: Modals of Probability

This lesson takes learners on a journey to Mount Everest to practice modals of probability in real-life contexts. Students explore climbing challenges while improving grammar, vocabulary, and communication skills.

🔹 Grammar practice:
Students learn to use must, might, can’t for certainty, possibility, and impossibility in the present and past, supported by gap-fills, transformations, and interactive tasks.

🔹 Vocabulary building:
Key words include summit, altitude, base camp, expedition, frostbite, mountaineering, oxygen tank, avalanche, determination. Learners expand language for extreme sports and survival.

🔹 Reading & listening:
Through the inspiring story of Junko Tabei, the first woman to climb Everest without oxygen, learners practice comprehension and apply modals to describe risks and outcomes.

🔹 Speaking & discussion:
Students debate survival strategies, role-play interviews with climbers, and discuss the balance between mental determination and physical strength in extreme sports.
