Hello, my name is Daniele and I am writing my Lesson Plan to teach Basic English to my son and some friends that came to me asking for classes. These worksheets are a lot interesting. Thanks for sharing this material. I want to use my time properly, working in one hour the four abilities: writing, listening, reading and speaking. It is really interesting how the language is connected with the culture and the culture with the language… They (students) must understand that English as a modern language will connect them with the entire world AND give them a different way of seeing things, a new perspective, much easier.
