Mrs. Blemish - November 30, 2020
Paid LessonLesson Collection #1 - Lesson 15b
A hilarious information gap pair work activity to work on listening, vocabulary building and story telling.
"Mrs. Blemish" is a matching/cloze activity that deals with common but lesser known physical imperfections. Students will learn and talk about these words: dimple, wart, corn, pimple, mole, scar, hickey, blister, bruise and tattoo.
While learning and using these words, students will naturally start laughing, they've probably never seen these English words in print before. But, underneath all this fun, there's a serious English lesson at work. Students will need to identify where the items are with their partner and more importantly, they will need to relate a story about how Mrs. Blemish got the items. This lesson is fun - but it's also very conversational.
For a similar style lesson, see:
Body Slang (See Lesson 15a above).
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Dear Kurt,
I’d like to thank you for the wonderful worksheets; they are very useful, time-saving as well as entertaining,
especially for students who don’t want
to learn English.

Dear EFL4U,
Just to let you know, I surf the web all the time. Your site is still the only one I tell my friends and colleagues about. It’s the only one really worth it! This is not flattery. Just honest. Ask my students, they’ll tell you, too! You’ve got to be a genius,
Vlad Gobronzchek

Dear Kurt,
Your lessons are awesome!!!!
I just translate them over to Spanish and they work like a charm.
Gail Tuthill
Dear Kurt,
Your lessons are professionally done and most of all fun!
We all find your materials more than just a fun filler even though they do liven things up.
I post each of your lessons on a teacher’s exchange board Mondays at school for the other trainers. The feedback has been nothing but praise.
Keep up the good work.
Margaret Ann Doty - EFL Trainer
