Lesson overview
This A1/A1+ lesson uses a short BBC Learning English clothes-shopping conversation to help students build practical language for buying clothes. Students learn common clothing items and colours, listen for key information, and practise useful phrases for asking what someone needs, checking whether an item is available in a particular colour, suggesting alternatives and choosing what to buy.
Students also work with `this / these` and `it / them` in a clear shopping context before preparing their own shopping choices and completing a supported roleplay. The Ultra extension adds repeated speaking practice with changing partners and private shop stock, giving learners a real reason to ask questions, respond to availability and suggest alternatives.
