South Africa Introduction
This worksheet is another one in the passport series. We start the lesson for each country by doing a basic sheet with some basic information which they either have to find for themselves or which I give them in the form of a listening or reading. This sheet is a combination of research (the first part - it�s very easy!) and a very basic listenin...

New year, new you
This is a sheet to help students think about what they want for and from themselves in the next year. It�s not just about their English progress but a general life thing.

Eartquakes 2: How to survive an Earthquake
This is the second part of my earthquake sheet. It can be used on its own as a reading but was originally intended to compliment the other half of the worksheet which practises the third conditional.

Shipwrecked

For each space there are instructions as to what they have to write (e.g. what happened next?)

Snow White
This worksheet uses a familiar fairytale. It provides a short reading which highlights the typical phrases found in fairytales (the ultimate idea is that you can use this to form a template for the students to write their own story). It also highlights some new vocabulary and there is a reading comprehension which encourages the students not simp...
