A night under the Swiss stars: Modals for deduction

Hotels and Hospitality Vocabulary

This lesson introduces a unique Swiss concept — a hotel with no walls or doors, where guests sleep directly under the stars. Students expand vocabulary related to accommodation, design, and hospitality (luxury, scenery, resort, architecture, sustainability), plus phrasal verbs check in, check out, set up, look around, try out, and take in.

Modals for Deduction: Must, Might, Could, Can't

Learners focus on must have, might be, could be, can't be and similar structures to express certainty, possibility, or impossibility. Activities include gap-fills, sentence transformations, and scenario-based guessing tasks.

Speaking and Role-Play: A Hotel Without Walls

Learners read about the open-air hotel, discuss its advantages and challenges, and role-play as guests or hosts. Speaking tasks include describing travel experiences, evaluating unusual hotels, and debating whether such concepts are sustainable or just a novelty.
