I�m a Brit living in Spain teaching English because that�s all I could find over here. I like it though. I also upload my worksheets on ISL Collective, normally a day or two after I have done so here. br You can order my books by pasting this into the browser: https://www.amazon.es/Dale-Bates/e/B08QD5M5PQ?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1613573760&sr=8-1

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.

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.
