TEACHER MATERIALS · INTERMEDIATE (B1-B2)
TALKING ABOUT THE NATURAL WORLD
Key
1. Preparation - useful vocabulary
10 mins.
Hand out page 1 of this worksheet. If you are teaching online, you can use an online service such as
http://www.ilovepdf.com to split this pdf into individual pages.
Ask students to prepare for the lesson by reviewing the vocabulary which they might need to use. Encourage them,
if possible, to use Expemo, Linguahouse’s online memorisation platform which uses spaced repetition algorithms
to minimise the time needed to learn new words by heart.
2. Conversation questions
10 - 20 mins.
Select and ask the student(s) questions from the list in order to stimulate a discussion. Alternatively, have the
students themselves ask and answer selected questions in pairs or groups.
During the discussions, correct mistakes by paraphrasing the students in natural English and provide the additional
vocabulary that they need to express their ideas and opinions.
