Many thanks for this lesson plan, but the main text is full of grammatical errors and, often, unnecessarily complex or verbose language. I had to rewrite it before use.

Thanks for your feedback and comment. We will take another look at this text to correct any grammatical errors. The lesson and tasks are aimed at B1/B2 level, although this is an authentic text, so the text itself may be more difficult. Thanks Cath TE Team
