I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

I have rewritten my dialogue to give practice with present continuous in daily life. Students read the story, do the vocabulary puzzle and then they do the comprehension questions both orally and written. They can also use the worksheet for role play telephone conversations.
