In this module, learners will learn and practise language to describe the things they do everyday. This module also looks at the language of time in more detail, so learners can talk about when they do things. Here are suggested content and activities for 3 sessions, however you may find that you need to do more sessions for your group due to your learners’ needs and/or the length of your sessions.
