Homework
Choose a forum for recording and practising new vocabulary and structures. This can take the form of a diary or journal or you can go digital and create a blog or start a collection of voice recordings. the important thing is to practise new words, phrases, tenses and structures by creating sentences and making them your own. Recording them in writing on audio allows you to bring them into class and check them if you are not sure.

Modals - Part One 
It is very important to know what use the modal is being put to as this will determine which structures are possible. Look at the difference when must is used to show obligation and when it is used to show deduction:
  
Obligation:
Present/Future: I must study hard for the exam.
Past: I had to study hard for the exam yesterday.
The opposite of must is mustn’t (prohibition) or don’t have to (lack of obligation)
Deduction:
Present/Future: He must be very rich, he drives an expensive car.
Past: He must have been very handsome when he was young.
The opposite of must is can’t.

Read the article and then analyse the use of modals. What modal auxiliaries has the author used and why has she chosen them?

Corrections
advice is an uncountable noun so therefore is always plural and never takes an indefinite article.
Can you give me an advice some/a piece of advice.
