Idioms with food
This could be used to test the students� knowledge of idiomatic expression with food or as a guessing game. I always make them give me a fresh example after they get one right. I may update this with a related bingo activity at a later date.

Idioms with Get
These are mostly in a business context in this worksheet but all of these idioms are pretty common enough. The first five are also included in a short quiz on the origin of the expressions which can be done in teams for larger groups. The answers are on the back.

Idioms with parts of the Body
Another one of my idioms series but this time with parts of the body. A fun quiz on the origins of the expressions is included as well as the answers. You should edit number 6 if you are planning on using it with children or in a country with a conservative policy on narcotics, as there is a reference to casual drug use.

Incremental Comparatives
I made the name up as I could not find a proper name for them although there are few books where you find exercises for the comparative with this form included. Anyway, a little worksheet on this side of the comparative in English as it really needs to be looked at. A lot of my Spanish students struggle with this one. Hope it�s of some help to some...

Indian State of Goa Election - Obligatory Siestas
An article adapted to the style of Reading and Use of English Part 1 in the CAE exam. Answers are on the back. This could be used for a debate on the pros and cons of the siesta.
