A worksheet of the communication lesson "Asking for and Giving Suggestions". This worksheet comes with a chart that includes the expressions that are used to ask for and give suggestions. This document also includes two tasks. the first task is a matching exercise that aims to familiarize students with the expressions they have tackled in the chart above. The second task provides situations in a table, and students will have to form full sentences that include the expressions learnt to provide answers for those situations. What I wanted to do with both exercises is to include all of my students in the learning experience by providing a simple task and a slightly difficult one, in order to challenge them a bit and increase their autonomy. Moreover, it's preferable if you perform a speaking at the end of this lesson. This worksheet can be used as a lesson on its own or u can just adopt the exercises.
