Let’s get to know each other

Vocabulary

This A2 ESL lesson plan opens with a warm-up on greetings and introductions. Students match useful phrases with translations and practice basic questions and answers. Then they read a short text with fun facts and guess which ones are false — a perfect icebreaker for first lessons and new adult learners.

Grammar and discussion

This ESL lesson plan covers Present Simple with a focus on "to be" and "have got" — rules, usage, and real-life context including professions, appearance, and personality. Ready-to-teach exercises include matching, fill-in-the-blanks, sentence completion, and picture-based tasks. Students practice affirmative, negative, and interrogative structures and build confidence using grammar in context. Speaking activities include describing people using both "to be" and "have got".

Homework and revision

IInteractive homework is built into the lesson — no extra prep needed. Students write a short description of their best friend using "to be" and "have got", revise vocabulary through matching and picture-based tasks, complete a true/false quiz, and finish with a gap-fill text about Adele's family practising Present Simple and descriptive adjectives in context.
