Lesson 6B: Do you like mornings?

This lesson begins with the context of a questionnaire about typical morning activities. This leads into learning the vocabulary to talk about daily routines. The grammar focus is on using adverbs of frequency. We have deliberately limited the choice of adverbs to the four most common ones – always, never, usually, and sometimes. The focus is on their position with the simple present. (Other adverbs of frequency, and their position after be, are taught in American English File 1.) Sts consolidate the grammar and vocabulary by reading an adapted magazine article about a day in the life of TV personality Simon Cowell. The lesson builds up to a speaking and writing activity where Sts write and talk about their own daily routines.
