A2 ESL lesson "Talking about your home" — Present Simple vs Present Continuous with house vocabulary

House and Home Vocabulary

Students explore the topic of types of houses, rooms, and features (e.g. cottage, mansion, balcony, garage) using pictures, audio, and matching games. They describe their dream home and compare different living spaces with visual support and interactive questions.

Listening and Speaking: Where Do You Want to Live?

Through a short audio dialogue, learners follow two characters discussing where they want to live. Students complete sentences using what they hear and reflect on their own preferences. Follow-up questions encourage personal opinions and comparisons.

Present Simple vs Present Continuous: Exercises

The grammar focus is on the difference between Present Simple (e.g. I live in a house) and Present Continuous (e.g. I am cooking dinner now). Learners use visual tables, gap-fill tasks, and True/False activities to master both tenses, with over 10 mixed-tense grammar exercises to reinforce understanding.

Speaking and Writing: Describing Your Home

Students describe their current home and what is happening there right now, combining both tenses. They are guided to record their voice or write short paragraphs using the learned vocabulary and grammar structures.

Interactive Homework: Mixing the Two Tenses

The homework includes sentence creation, tense identification, and a creative writing task about their home. With over 20 interactive exercises, this lesson builds strong grammar and vocabulary foundations through real-life, relatable topics.
