Shopping habits

Introduction

In this lesson, students practise language related to shops and shopping. They begin by reviewing vocabulary related to items that you can buy at a supermarket, then they practise speaking with a survey about shopping habits. They listen to a short text describing a favourite shop, then use a model to write about where they like to shop. Finally, students read a longer text about shopping habits. In the lesson, students develop all 4 skills, and they practise using the present simple tense and simple adjectives to describe things. 

A student worksheet accompanies this lesson. However, teachers can use a presentation for a no-printing option.

Hi Susan Unfortunately, the resource and audio file on the LearnEnglish website has been removed. We have changed the lesson plan to reflect this. There is still a listening focus in the plan, but this is now given as a 'live listening' exercise. I hope you find the updated plan suitable for your needs. Best wishes Paul

PLEASE WE NEED THE AUDIO FILE :(

Hi Ouma, 

The resource and audio file on the LearnEnglish website has been removed permanently. We have changed the lesson plan to reflect this. There is still a listening focus in the plan, but this is now given as a 'live listening' exercise. I hope you and your students enjoy the new plan about shopping habits!
