Description
A B1-level ESL lesson on Travelling and Conditional Sentences Practice
Perfect for reviewing first, second, and third conditionals in context, this B1-level ESL lesson uses engaging travel stories and structured grammar tasks to reinforce understanding. Students explore a travel mishap narrative, identify conditional structures, complete grammar exercises, and share their own travel experiences using accurate conditional forms. The lesson includes a worksheet and detailed teacher’s notes, making it ideal for a 45-minute grammar-focused class with meaningful speaking practice.
Warmer: Predict the Story from the Pictures
Before diving into a short travel story, check out three pictures and share what we think the story might be about. The pics are of a guy hanging out at an airport, a Portuguese flag, and a messy hotel bed.
Story Time: Read and Retell a Solo Adventure
Check out this story about a guy who travelled solo to Portugal for the first time. After you finish reading, share the story in your own words to see if they really got it.
Grammar Focus: Which Sentence is Correct?
The grammar lesson starts by looking at a set of seven pairs of sentences. Students need to decide which one is correct. It’s important to explain their choices by finding reasons in the text. All these pairs focus on conditionals, helping everyone understand and break down the conditional structures. Students should underline the sentences and identify more examples, categorizing them by their type and structure.
If this class is aimed at reviewing conditionals, it’s a good idea to find one example of each type and analyze it to refresh everyone on the typical structure. To wrap things up, matching each sentence with the right description will be done to review how each conditional is used.
Practice: Explore Meanings
For the first grammar exercise, we have eight sentences where students need to fill in the blanks with either the first, second, or third conditional. Feel free to mix different conditionals into the sentences and chat about how the meaning changes with each version.
Speaking Activity: Share your Stories
The last part of the class is kind of like the first activity but with more talking. Before you get into this part, go over another travel story and think about missing conditionals. Check out the text and fix the answers. Now it’s time for students to share their travel experiences. If there’s time, you can have them plan how they want to answer and use those conditional phrases. If that’s not needed, just let them follow the questions and chat about their trips, what went wrong, and how those situations could’ve been avoided in the past and what they can do to prevent them in the future.
