๐ Happy or Sad?
โฑ 5 minutes ยท ๐ CELTA-informed ยท ๐ฏ Cambridge A2
๐ From the teacher’s desk: In my multicultural classrooms at ELT Hub in Brittany, I quickly learned that emotions are universal but expressions are cultural. My students from different countries showed feelings very differently! Being able to name and talk about your emotions in English is a hugely important life skill โ for children and adults alike.
๐ฏ By the end of this lesson, you can: name 8 emotions in English and use “I feel…” sentences.
