A small cloze exercise for advanced students complete with key and fully editable. Something I did a few years ago and it has been sitting on my PC doing nothing ever since. Not sure if some of the expressions are different the other side of the pond or not. You might need to check.

Tricky Collocations
A worksheet on collocations that are common among native speakers but not so among ESL speakers. The answers are on the back. It contains some that never seem to collocate with anything else except just 1 or 2 words (such as piping hot) although most of them have slightly wider collocations. If anybody can think of any more that collocate to just 1...

Object Pronouns
A short worksheet to help students to use object pronouns correctly. There is one expression "trying to bribe a politician" which might be slightly above A1 level, or even inappropriate, but it is easy enough to explain or even replace with something else (trying to give him money).

Job Description Advert Adjective Gap-fill
A small worksheet that covers work skills vocabulary. Can be used for review or to introduce the vocabulary in question. Not my best worksheet but it looks good. It may look a bit funny on the preview but once downloaded it should be fine.

Alternatives to Saying Wonderful
A short exercise in the form of a dice game that looks at synonyms for the word wonderful. I did this because I still have students that have the idea that "terrific" is a negative adjective, no matter how many times I tell them it is not.
This can also be linked to non-gradable adjective exercises.
