Students learn useful expressions to deal with a customer when diagnosing a mechanical breakdown, practise their speaking and listening skills through a role play, and revise how to talk about the past.
Useful expressions
Students can also practise and learn the expressions by using the following website that contains the dedicated list I created for them:
Grammar: Talk about what happened (past simple and progressive)
Roleplay
Writing:
Think of three mechanical issues farmers can have on their tractor.
(This list allowed me to create the flashcards below)
Speaking:
Imagine a dialogue between a farmer and a mechanic.
The farmer explains to the mechanic what is wrong with his tractor.
The mechanic asks questions to understand the problem and explains what he is going to do.
