Subject: End of school year field trip

Dear students,

I am writing you to let you know that the teachers of year 6 are considering the possibility to have an end of school year field trip with all of you. We believe it gives you the opportunity to have a great ending of your hard work. There is still time to organize it, so we would like to know your opinion. Do you agree about this possibility?

There are several options. We are thinking to travel to Granada and Málaga, so that we can visit the monuments in those provinces and also learn a bit about the culture of Andalucia. There is also the possibility to travel to Galicia and do a little bit of Camino de Santiago for three days. On the other hand, we could also travel to Valencia, visit one of the most famous museums of Spain, go to the amusemnt park of Terra Mitica and spend a couple days at the beach playing water sports.

If you agree, what suggestion would you like the most?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards / sincerely,

Mr. Williams

Remember that the structures for interrogative senteces with modal verbs are done without auxiliaries (do, does, did, have/has or had)

Must + subject + base form verb + complement?

Should + subject + base form verb + complement?

Could + subject + base form verb + complement?

May+ subject + base form verb + complement?

Please create two negative sentences with four of the following modal verbs:
