WARM-UP AND VOCABULARY
This ESL lesson on real estate starts with a warm-up. Students discuss a quote about real estate. After that, they read some statistics on property trends in the UK. Students choose the figure they think is correct in each statement. They then say if they have noticed similar trends where they live. Moving on, students discuss questions about real estate and property agreements. Afterwards, they read pairs of sentences about real estate deals and transactions. Students complete them by choosing words used as nouns in one sentence and verbs in the other (e.g. flip, lead, lease). Next, they discuss questions about how real estate works.
