Hi
Thanks for your comment - we have had some issues with downloads today and our technical team has been working on them - the issue has been fixed, but there might be a delay in everything getting back to normal - this might be the case the lesson plan. I will check back later to see if it is available again. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your support of TeachingEnglish,
Cath
