The objective of this oral/written expression worksheet is to practise simple past tense while talking about Christmas holidays. It is a nice activity for when you go back to school after Christmas break. Students can also review some verbs vocab. 

Interaction will be created in the class, and students will also be asked to write about their classmates' vacation and their own. 

Christmas holidays

I noticed that my teenage students tend to miss some pieces of music that are timeless. If they do recognize the melody, they not always know the artist. Well, some fundamental things are not taught at school. Decided to fix that.

British Ageless Music

Students will practise the verb to be in the present and past and some other verbs in the past while listening to a song I'm sure they like. I've used it myself with teenagers in their 2nd year of secondary school, after introducing how to make the past simple of both regular and non regular verbs. It also offers a contrast with the verb to be in the past, after a lesson where they learnt that the verb to be doesn't make the negative and questions like the rest of the verbs.

This is a ppt with some slides showing cultural aspects about Scotland. It is a culture quiz where students will be given three choices .They will have to choose the right one. This activity works well as a Teacher/ group activity (competition activity among groups).This can be used as a warm up to introduce the topic about Scotland or as a review class after having done other activities related to this topic.This can be done with high school students as well as with adults. Students will be able to practise some reading and speaking mainly, but there´s  also an optional writing task(Project). The answers to the choice are given after having shown the three possibilities and once the teacher has clicked the mouse again on the same slide.

Cultural Quiz About Scotland

People's daily routines vary greatly depending on their personal preferences, responsibilities, and lifestyle. Here are some common aspects of daily routines:



Morning Routine: Many people start their day with activities such as waking up, brushing their teeth, and taking a shower. Breakfast is often an important part of the morning routine, providing energy for the day ahead. Some people also include exercise, such as jogging or yoga, in their morning routine to stay fit and energized.



Work or School: For most adults, a significant portion of the day is spent at work. This can involve commuting, attending meetings, completing tasks, and interacting with colleagues. For students, the day usually involves attending classes, studying, and participating in extracurricular activities.



Meals and Breaks: Throughout the day, people take breaks for meals. Lunch is typically eaten in the middle of the day and is often a time to relax and recharge. Snacks may be consumed during short breaks to maintain energy levels.



Afternoon Activities: After work or school, people often engage in various activities. This could include running errands, engaging in hobbies, exercising, or spending time with family and friends. Some people also use this time to attend appointments or take care of personal tasks.



Evening Routine: The evening is a time for winding down. Dinner is usually the main meal of the day, and it provides an opportunity for families to gather and share their experiences. After dinner, people may relax by watching television, reading, or engaging in leisure activities.



Night Routine: Preparing for bed is an essential part of the daily routine. This might involve personal hygiene tasks such as brushing teeth and washing the face. Many people have bedtime rituals, like reading a book or meditating, to help them relax and ensure a good night's sleep.



Weekend Variations: Weekends often bring a change in routine. People might sleep in, enjoy leisurely breakfasts, and engage in recreational activities. Weekends are also a popular time for socializing, traveling, or taking care of household chores and projects.
