A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the single learner page in pairs. Personal or invented responses can vary; there is no fixed answer key.
- Separate the cafe's accessibility aim from the unexpected crowding in the opening exchange.
- Discuss preparation, noise and saving time; describe purposes and results in the meeting, popular-event and helpful-service prompts.
- Propose three shared-space changes, then imagine two outcomes after a month and improve one change whose aim was not achieved.
Support and extension
Use to/in order to for a shared actor and so that for a full purpose clause. Contrast so + adjective with such + noun phrase; an aim is not a guaranteed result.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
