England listening/reading
This is a worksheet about Great Britain that can be used as a reading or listening. I generally use it as a listening. It makes the students answer questions, colour, learn how to describe flags. As far as I know, the information is accurate although the population may be a bit out of date when you use it! It�s worth checking. As for flags a...

A real hero
This is a worksheet I constructed which practises some higher level personality description vocab and allows the students to discuss their idea of a hero. The second part involves watching some video clips which the students must then discuss - it revises the vocab and gives them a chance to have a free discussion about an interesting topic. I ho...

Friday the 13th
This sheet works the same way as shipwrecked. The students have to complete the gaps in the story. You shouldplay a song for each gap. This song acts as the �soundtrack� or inspiration for what they write. They have to write as the song is playing. When the song finishes...they stop writing. With less able groups you can give them more time

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!

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...

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.

America introduction and Australia introduction
These are another two worksheets in the passport series (another two introduction pages). They are independent work assignments. The students must do some research to find the information. It�s quite basic but good for low levels. I normally print in black and white and let the kids colour the flags as well!

The Clown Doll - A Halloween story
This is a halloween story I used with a group of pre-intermediate students. It can be used as a reading for pleasure exercise but I used it as a class activity. I gave each group a different story and then different members from each group joined a sharing group and they compared their stories and retold them.
