How

- For most activities you can choose between working on your own, in pairs or in threes. Make sure that by the end of the lesson each of you masters the 12 idioms.
- The presented order 1-7 is a logical order. Still, you may choose the order of the activities yourself.
- Note 1: activity 5 is an individual activity.
- Note 2: the listening activity, activity 2, is easier to do when you read the list with idioms beforehand (activity 3, list 3.1/3.2).
- Note 3: students with a good command of English can speed up completing activities 1-5 and focus on activity 6 and become an expert.
