Just wanted to let you know that I�ve posted some of my CELTA course materials on the sites, which you may find useful. They �re probably not the best in the world, but all the material that I�ve posted was graded to standard or above. I �ve uploaded some more stuff today, but it won t appear until tomorrow.
Some suggestions for concept questions:
Can you drive a car on a pavement? Can you walk on a pavement?
For contetxt, you could download a picture of people walking on a pavement, and use it to elicit the word. You could simply point to the pavement and ask the students �what�s this? �. Use google images to find a suitable picture.
You could use a picture of the interior of a library to show the context of a library, or someone raising a finger to their mouth to make the usual gesture for quiet. You could ask concept questions such as �is a mouse quiet? �, or �is an airport quiet? �.
An example of a context for �can �t put up with � is someone living next door to a noisy neighbour, maybe someone playing loud music all the time or playing drums late at night. You could also spin a story about a very patient person, someone who �puts up with � a lot of things. There are synonyms for �can�t put up with�, such as �can�t tolerate � or �can�t stand �.
Hope this helps.
