Introduction
In this lesson the students will look at the television viewing habits of young people in the UK and compare them to the habits of young people in their own country.
They will begin by making television posters, then they will do a split reading activity in pairs. The text is about television habits in the UK. They will complete a questionnaire about their own viewing habits and discuss how their habits are different from those of young people in the UK. There is an optional role-playing activity where students have to agree on what to watch on television.

Hi Hammad Shah
Thanks for your comment and feedback. As part of our current website refresh we are making sure that all of our lesson plans have Powerpoints that can be used in class so that it is not necessary to print out lots of materials, as we completely understand that this is not possible for all teachers. As we have hundreds of resources on the site, this is a project that is taking some time, but we hope to have non-print versions of all our class materials available very soon.
In the meantime, please check out some of our other A2 lesson plans which do not require printing: https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/teaching-resources/teaching-secondary/lesson-plans/pre-intermediate-a2
Thanks again for your feedback

Young people and television
Learners know the programme to watch and the write time to watch TV
I found this lesson plan difficult to implement because I don't have the resources to print the materials for class size 30. I need practical suggestion to perform this activity with resource mobilization.
