A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use learner pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until feedback.
- Read the bus/cycling conversation and identify the normal journey and this week's changes.
- Choose and complete the forms, then rewrite statements and form the work-from-home and learning questions.
- Describe a routine and a temporary change before discussing travel with a partner.
Support and extension
Some commuters use/are using examples allow both habit and trend readings. Ask learners to explain their meaning; need and know normally use simple forms here.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
