Ss learn adverbs and phrases to describe frequency. They also learn common verb phrases used to talk about everyday activities. The context is a reading where they do a quiz about their lifestyles. This leads into the grammar, where Ss also practise linking in connected speech. 

To start

 so far today?

Make a list of at least 10 items in English.

1. Share a list of all the things you’ve done so far today.

2. Ss to make a similar list of everything they’ve done so far today. 

3. Monitor and help with vocabulary, writing any new words and phrases on the board. 

4. When they have finished, put Ss in pairs to compare their lists and find out what they have in common.

Our goal today
