Lesson Objectives

Grammar: Students will learn and review the second conditional to discuss hypothetical situations relating to the home. They will practice forming sentences using the structure "if + past simple, would + base verb" to talk about potential changes and wishes for their living spaces.

Listening: They will improve their listening skills by hearing audio of people talking about possible alterations to their homes. This includes understanding descriptions of hypothetical changes to different rooms and the use of the second conditional to express these ideas.

Speaking: Students will engage in discussions about their homes and the changes they would make if they had the opportunity. They will use the second conditional to describe hypothetical improvements, rearrangements, and renovations they envision for their living spaces.

Vocabulary: The lesson introduces vocabulary related to home modifications, furnishings, and decorations, such as "divide," "space," "fridge," "cupboard," "window," "bookcase," "sofa," "kitchen," "bedroom," "living room," and phrases to express hypothetical changes, like "if we built a wall" or "if we moved the fridge."

Homework: Homework tasks are designed to reinforce the lesson's focus on the second conditional and vocabulary related to home and living spaces. Students will complete sentences based on pictures of home furnishings, decide if sentences are right or wrong about home objects, match sentence halves to form complete second conditional statements, finish sentences using the second conditional based on personal preferences, and correct mistakes in sentences using the second conditional.
