Is the Christmas you see on TV shows on commercials similar to the Christmas your students enjoy? Is it all wonderful food and drink with well-behaved relatives?!
This lesson looks at some of the stress that Christmas can cause!
Following the lead-in, there is a collocation matching exercise, and then a gap fill reading. We have kept the reading reasonably easy (especially with your pre-teaching!) so your students won't be feeling too stressed themselves!
Some expressions they will learn include:
the festive season
look forward to
an overcooked turkey
a controversial topic
The lesson continues with comprehension questions, more collocation practice and the chance for your students to give advice on how to reduce stress at Christmas.
It's a great topic for discussion - you can add lots of questions at the end. Your students will have a fun - but also useful - lesson to round off the year.
This lesson is written for pre-intermediate level students.
Many recruiters will receive hundreds of resumes for just one or two jobs. How can an applicant make his or her resume stand out from the crowd?
This worksheet looks at advice for improving resumes. The layout of resumes and the information contained within will vary from country to country. However, these differences will make a good basis for discussion.
An example resume is included with the lesson for your students to analyse. Note that it has deliberate spelling / grammar mistakes!
This worksheet is written for upper-intermediate to advanced level classes.
