Idioms about Behaviour and Etiquette
Another worksheet on idioms, this time about behaviour and etiquette. Answers are on the back. There is a short quiz on the origins of the expressions and despite what the BBC says, the origin of the expression "mind your Ps and Qs" comes from a poem, not from the pubs of the 19th century. You will have to take my word on that one. The quiz can be ...

Alternatives to Very
Pre-intermediate levels for teachers who are fed up with their students say"very" all the time. A nice little dice game for them to practice the different ways of saying it and a few, short explanations of the vocabulary and usage. Extra examples can be added every class until they are comfortable with the alternatives.

Feminism and Cooking: CAE reading and debate
A reading that I adapted from the Guardian newspaper about traditional gender roles, feminism and cooking.

Adjectives of personality: Team Building
This is for business English classes but could still work with teenagers at a push. The idea isn�t mine (knicked the idea from Proficiency Masterclass from a "blind date" exercise) but the words and business English angle is. I have used this several times and not only has it gone down well but it has been easy to adapt to a role play involving scr...
