Stage Exam :DICTATION 
One of those doorposts/ is leaning inwards./ 
I'm going to stop exercising/ because my right shoulder feels tender./ 
Inside the hall of the building/ there were heaps of old cloth/ scattered about on the floor./ 
The lock on this door is worn/ and will soon need mending./ 
Cats will scratch people/if they're frightened./ 
She warned me to lower my head/ as I went into the room. 

GRAMMAR: 
•Modal auxiliaries for probability 
-In order to communicate our ideas about how probable we think something is, we often use words such as "sure", "probably" or 'perhaps" 
-The modal "must" can express the idea that we are sure something is true because it makes logical sense in a particular situation. 
-The modals "should" and "ought to" can express the idea of "probably". For example, we can say "The train should arrive soon".


"Perhaps David is Australian." = "David might be Australian."
