How Was Last Year? - January 09, 2023
Holiday Lesson Set - Lesson 01b
A natural and realistic discussion maker, How Was Your Year Last Year? is guaranteed to be not only fun, but very informative.
In pairs, students interview each other about last year in terms of their School or Job, Family, Friends, Health, Love or Romance and Money. Because all of these categories are so personal, students' natural curiosity will spur them into a lively discussion.
But there's more going on here; students also will be working with comparatives (better / worse, more / less) as well as superlatives (best / worst, most / least) all the while practicing past tense verbs.
When finished, students will know more about each other and themselves.
Students from high beginners to advanced will really enjoy this lesson.
For other New Years lessons, see:
New Year Predictions (See New Years Lesson 01a above)
What Plans This Year? (See New Years Lesson 01c below)
What Will Happen Next Year? (See New Years Lesson 01d below) -and-
What Will Happen This Year? (See New Years Lesson 01e below).
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 tell you that I find the activities wonderful. I teach young learners, adolescents, young adults, adults… and they work with all of them. All the lessons and worksheets are very creative and they foster my students’ motivation and participation.

Hello Kurt,

Other language-teaching resource books promise exciting, ready-to-copy activities, but these worksheets really deliver the goods.
My life as an English teacher changed dramatically when I purchased all of the great lessons from EFL4U.com. I use them constantly! My students always light up when I bring one to class. Truly fab. Fun, creative, educational.

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,
