ACTIVITIES
This lesson begins with a warm-up activity. Students think of the last thing they bought online and explain why they bought it on the internet instead of in a real store. In the next exercise, students learn the vocabulary. They look at some statements and find definitions for the bolded words (e.g. discount codes, browse). After that, they read the sentences again and explain if the statement is true for them. If it’s not, they have the option to add details and explain how it’s not true for them. Next, they look at a table which contains reasons to do grocery shopping online and reasons to do it offline. Students then add more ideas to the lists. After that, students do a ‘this or that’ exercise about some grocery shopping options, saying what they’d prefer and why. The lesson finishes with a discussion about some niche online grocery stores (e.g. Too Good To Go) where students can share their opinions about the services and think about other useful stores.
