Father and Son by Cat Stevens
This song is nice to use as a warm up for discussions about family relationships. The vocabulary is not hard, and its pace is slow enough for students to follow easily. I made the activity so as to also raise awareness about parts of speech.

Rise - Theme song for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio
I wanted to work with the theme of the Olympic Games with my students, and decided to start with this song, because it portrays the olympic spirit of believing in yourself, doing your best and never giving up.

So this material can also lead ...

While brainstorming idioms, phrases and phrasal verbs with the verb "take", I suggested "take for granted", and my students didn�t know what it meant.

Imperatives in Context
I tried to create a more challenging task than just copy the verb given in parenthesis. In this worksheet, students must come up with their own verbs to complete the sentences in the imperative (affirmative and negative) so as to make them logical.
