LESSON SET OVERVIEW

With this lesson set, your students will:

  • learn vocabulary for different holiday activities,
  • discuss holiday preferences and plans,
  • practise ‘like’/‘love’/‘hate’/‘dislike’/‘enjoy’ + ‘ing’,
  • explore verbs ‘would like’, ‘want’ and ‘prefer’ ,
  • watch a video about a family who travels in a campervan and one with kids sharing what they like doing on holiday.

The two lessons allow students to understand and practise the use of gerunds and infinitives in the context of holiday and free time. In the first lesson, students learn to use a gerund after ‘love’, ‘like’ and ‘hate’. In the second lesson, they revise the verbs followed by a gerund and practise using an infinitive after ‘want to’ and ‘would like to’.
