| LESSON OVERVIEW
The main objectives of this lesson are to:

With this lesson, students learn and practise vocabulary related to cafés, talk about their personal experiences and preferences related to hot drinks, analyse the cafés from the article and discuss coffee culture.

ACTIVITIES
This lesson starts with a warm-up in which students read the words café, caffeine and coffee aloud and explain the difference in meaning between them. After that, they examine a word cloud with words related to cafés and find the ones for the definitions (e.g. coffee maker, barista, mug, etc.). Next, students discuss questions about hot drinks preferences, habits, and rituals, including coffee and tea consumption and drink preparation methods. Then, they analyse the cafés from the article and explain why they are unique. Afterwards, students choose the cafés that match the descriptions in the task (e.g. the weirdest café(s), café(s) you would be happy to visit, etc.) and explain their choices. Finally, they talk about café experiences, preferences, coffee culture, barista work, and the suitability of cafés for various activities such as socializing, working, and relaxing.
