     Winter. It is cold in winter. Sometimes we have – 25o C. It often snows. But the children like winter. They like to go in for winter sports. They skate, ski, play snowballs, hockey. Not only children, but also many men and women take part in different winter sports and games. When the children have their winter holidays, they spend all day long out of doors. They go to the skating-rink not only on days off but also on week-days. They are afraid neither of wind, nor of frost, nor of snow.

     Spring. Then spring comes. Nature awakes from its long winter sleep. Days are longer than in winter and nights are shorter. It begins to rain. The sun begins to shine brightly. It is getting warmer with every day. In May we can already see green leaves on the trees and first flowers. The sky is blue, the clouds are white. The  people  like to leave town and to go to the forest, to the river, to the lake. The ground is covered with green and the children like to run on it.

Модальные глаголы can, may, must.

1. Их лексическое значение выражает отношение к действию, т.е. возможность или необходимость совершение действия. Эту группу глаголов объединяют следующие особенности:

а) у них нет форм инфинитива и причастий, они  употребляются всегда в личной форме при подлежащем;

б) они не спрягаются;

в) инфинитив смыслового глагола следует за ними без    частицы to;

г) они не могут выражать побуждение к действию.

2. Наиболее употребительными модальными глаголами в английском языке являются:

Can – могу, умею (физическая возможность или возможность по обстоятельствам);

May – могу, имею разрешение;

Must – должен, нужно, надо (необходимость, обязательность действия).
