Description
The English language is constantly changing, with new words coming into use. This worksheet looks at how new words are added to dictionaries.

The worksheet begins with a (not-too-serious) quiz. Can your students guess when words such as 'photobomb' and 'air-guitar' were added to the dictionary?! This is followed by reading and vocabulary quizzes.

The lesson rounds off with a discussion on the words we use. Have your students noticed new words coming into fashion? Are English words common in their own language? What do they think of that?

This worksheet is fun way to build reading and discussion skills, while improving vocabulary knowledge. Try it today!

Description
How well do your students know the story of Nelson Mandela?

This worksheet has a short gap-fill reading. It's ideal for students working in pairs. If you're in a one-on-one lesson, the teacher can take one of the roles.

Students need to read the story and ask their partner questions in order to fill in the gaps. The questions are both active and passive.

This worksheet is also a great way to build your students' vocabulary.

It is written for intermediate-level classes.
