Smart Choices

About this lesson

This unit, 'Smart Choices', focuses on decision-making and its consequences. Students read and listen to texts about personal choices, such as Youssef's birthday party dilemma, an athlete's decision to rest an injury, and a story about teamwork and honesty. They practice giving and asking for advice using 'should' and 'shouldn't', and learn to form first conditional sentences. Writing tasks include a blog post about a personal problem, and speaking activities involve discussing daily choices and problems. By the end, students should be able to identify main ideas and details in texts about choices, use related vocabulary, and apply the target grammar in speaking and writing.
