Hi! I would start by telling them the routine of a teenage girl or boy as a way of exposing them to the use of present simple and then, tell them that TODAY something different is going on (Pablo usually gets up at seven o �clock and has breakfast with his parents. Look at him now.(You present a situation - why his / her routine changes - and you continue... He �s not having breakfast with his parents. he is having breakfast alone) And you go on like this... Hope you find it useful!
