One of those days: past perfect

Have you ever had a really bad day? Watch the video of Anne talking about when she had one of those terrible days.

Learning to listen

Perhaps the most important skill connected with socialising is to ‘shut up and listen'. This lesson can help students to become active listeners.

Making it up: phrasal verb stories

A persistent problem area for students is phrasal verbs. This story activity presents the verbs in a context helping the students to work out the meaning. It is also memorable so it's easier for students to remember them too.
Reading news

News

In this lesson, students will develop their vocabulary to talk about the news. They will also be given the opportunity to discuss the news with their classmates and retell a newsworthy story that is important to them.
