Shop dialogues
Just a simple reading exercise for very young learners. They can join the fruit to the right dialogue and then practice them. I suggest introducing the dialogue structure (maybe with �Can I help you?�) and getting them doing mini roleplays before introducing the sheet.

Snow White
This worksheet uses a familiar fairytale. It provides a short reading which highlights the typical phrases found in fairytales (the ultimate idea is that you can use this to form a template for the students to write their own story). It also highlights some new vocabulary and there is a reading comprehension which encourages the students not simp...

South Africa Introduction
This worksheet is another one in the passport series. We start the lesson for each country by doing a basic sheet with some basic information which they either have to find for themselves or which I give them in the form of a listening or reading.

This is the second of my horror story worksheets. The story is an urban legend which you can find many versions of on the net. This has been adapted specially for my pre-intermediate class.

Sport in Australia
This is another of my passport sheets. This one is to get the kids familiar with some sports that are popular in Australia and some competitions that Australia participate in. The sheet is a mix of reading, investigation and vocab work. I hope it comes in useful!

Star Signs
You can use this as a reading. There are some scanning questions attached to the end of the sheet. You can also work with the reading however you like. I asked students to decide who their perfect partner would be from the star sign descriptions and also if they agreed that their personality matches the supposed personality for their star sign.

Stardust
This is a very basic worksheet that I used to guide a discussion on the film stardust. You can present information on the characters beforehand or just ask them to think about it and write it up after the movie (the first part). We used the questions as a simple guide to discussion. The kids got very into the discussion. (I have a power point pr...

Summarising verbs
This is a speaking activity to practise using summarising verbs. The sheets should be cut out and then the students should match the summarising verb to the correct example. They should then use the verbs to report what was said. Suggested answers are included on the second sheet. Hope this is helpful.

Superstitions
A worksheet which can be used as a listening (see text on page 3) or a reading, using saidtext, or as an investigation exercise. Lets the students find out more about superstitions in England. Can be adjusted to level by getting rid off the �fill-in-the-gap� exercise and leaving simply a gap to be filled in.
