Let’s get to know each other

VOCABULARY

The lesson begins with a warm-up on greetings and introductions. Students match useful phrases with their translations and practice basic questions and answers. Then, they read a short text with fun facts and guess which ones are false, encouraging engagement and comprehension. It is a perfect start for new students and a first introduction lesson.

GRAMMAR AND DISCUSSION

Students review the Present Simple with a focus on “to be” and “have got”. They learn the rules and usage in context — including location, professions, physical and emotional states, and characteristics. Through a variety of exercises such as matching, fill-in-the-blanks, sentence completion, and picture-based exercises, learners practice forming affirmative, negative, and interrogative structures.
They build confidence using grammar in context (e.g. She is kind, He has got blue eyes, Have they got a pet?). Speaking activities include describing people and objects in pictures using both to be and have got, reinforcing grammar through visual and communicative tasks.

HOMEWORK / REVISION

To reinforce learning, students complete several interactive tasks. They start by writing a short description of their best friend using “to be” and “have got”, applying vocabulary from the lesson (e.g. bald, cheerful, ambitious). In the speaking task, students record answers to personal questions, such as describing someone important to them or someone who is creative or patient.
Students also revise vocabulary with matching, picture-based choices, and a true/false quiz to check understanding. Finally, they complete a gap-fill text about Adele’s family, practising Present Simple and descriptive adjectives in context. Tasks are printable and available in digital format
