Talking about Sports
B1 level

Description

This lesson starts with a word scramble to refresh sports vocabulary. The students are then introduced to "like + -ing / 'd like" through a listening about sport. This is followed by some controlled practice of the target language where the students make sentences using picture prompts. The students then have some freer practice in a speaking activity where pairs write sentences (two true and one false about their ambitions. Partners guess which sentence is false. If there is time the students will get further practice of the new grammar otherwise this will be set for homework.
