Multi-word verbs · Meaning · Word order

Keep the small word. Check the whole meaning.

Learn a usable phrase instead of a disconnected list.

B1–B2 · Multi-word verbs · Meaning · Word order · 25–35 minutes

Build a small practical toolkit with original examples. The archive links keep the longer lists available, but this lesson focuses on meaning, word order and a manageable set of expressions.

Modals · Obligation · Possibility · Form

What does the speaker mean?

Separate prohibition, lack of obligation and uncertainty.

B1–B2 · Modals · Obligation · Possibility · Form · 25–35 minutes

Practise modal meaning through invented notices and short conversations. These are language examples, not the rules of a real workplace.

Change the focus. Keep the time.

Move from the person doing an action to the thing affected by it.

B1–B2 · Passive voice · Tense control · Information focus · 25–35 minutes

Use an invented repair workshop to practise meaningful active-to-passive changes. A passive sentence needs a suitable verb; it is not a mechanical change for every sentence.

Leadership · Expectations · Polite clarification

Ask how this team works

Compare expectations without turning nationality into a personality test.

B2 · Leadership · Expectations · Polite clarification · 30–40 minutes

Keep the workplace-communication focus of the original activity through a new fictional team case. A person’s nationality does not tell us exactly how they prefer to work.

The World in Numbers | B2–C1 Estimates, Projections & Perspective

Data literacy · Population · Cautious language

A number needs a date and a definition

Read a projection without turning it into a promise.

B2–C1 · Data literacy · Population · Cautious language · 30–40 minutes

Revisit the question behind the original reading: how can we describe the world fairly? This new briefing uses dated UN population figures and a fictional classroom discussion instead of treating old statistics as current.
