ACTIVITIES

In the warm-up activity, students look at a list of words and phrases and use some of them to say how they feel about cleaning. Then, they complete six gaps with words related to mess and cleaning (e.g. clean-up, litter, bin, mess). The statements in the task are about Japan. Students need to compare them with their country. After that, students look at a list of six activities related to clean-ups and standards of cleanliness and discuss whether they would do them or not. Finally, students answer some questions about the advantages of mess.

    Is it just me or the website can’t show the article? I think it’s better to copy paste these articles into ESLBrains format cos we never know when a website can be down or no longer serves its purpose.

      Hi! There had to be a glitch on that news website and the article wasn’t being displayed. Now, it’s back to normal. BTW it happens very, very rarely that some articles or videos disappear and when that happens we immediately look for a replacement.

Questions

Title separator

Is there a minimum subscription period if I choose a monthly subscription?

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?

Our default currency is USD (American dollar), but you can also pay in EUR (euro), GBP (British pound sterling) or PLN (Polish zloty). You can change the currency you want to pay in at the Pricing page before selecting a subscription plan.

How can I edit an e-lesson plan?

You can get your own editable copy of an e-lesson plan and make changes to it. To do so, either (1) make a copy of it on your Google Drive (preferable method) or (2) download it in a Powerpoint format (but formatting might be a bit off so we can’t guarantee that it will work well).
