SpeakOut lesson 6a: The Two Pablos

In this lesson, Ss talk about a hobby they used to have. They start by reading the introduction to an article about Pablo Picasso and Pablo Casals. From this text, Ss work out the meaning of vocabulary related to the arts. They work in pairs and each read an article about one of the Pablos. They share information and find out what the two men had in common. From these articles, Ss focus on used to. They listen to the linking in the pronunciation of used to, and practise using this structure. Finally, Ss talk about a hobby they used to have.
