This is a Critical Reading Club worksheet. With this format, students need to read an online article at home and do the exercises in the classroom. Learn more about how to use such worksheets and their benefits in our post.

ACTIVITIES

Students start by completing three sentences with their own ideas (e.g. the age of seniors). Then, they complete words in statements (e.g. pension, socialise, retirement) using different endings and the context. They also say which of the statements are true for their country. After that, students read four comments about the article they read at home and say whether they agree or disagree with them. Finally, they think about their own retirement and discuss which things from the provided list (e.g. socialising, being fit, learning new things) are or will be important for them.

No, there's no minimum required number of subscription months. You can cancel any time you want. Basically, you can sign up and then cancel your subscription the next day, which will mean you have access for 1 month and won't be charged again.

What currencies can I pay in for my subscription?
