What Happened This Year? - December 04, 2023
Holiday Lesson Set - Lesson 01e
A continuation of the previous three lessons, How Was This Year? Use this lesson before December 31 to discover how this year compares to other years. (See the above How Was Last Year after January 1st.)
Two students interview each other by asking and answering questions as to how their School or Job, Family, Friends, Health, Love or Romance and Money compare to other years. Because students are talking about their own lives, they will inherently become highly involved with the questions and answers.
The grammatical focus of this lesson is on the practice of past tense as well as on superlatives and comparatives.
All EFL / ESL students, no matter what their age or ability really enjoy this lesson.
For other New Years lessons, see:
New Year Predictions (See New Years Lesson 01a above)
How Was Last Year? (See New Years Lesson 01b above)
What Plans This Year? (See New Years Lesson 01c above) -and-
What Will Happen Next Year? (See New Years Lesson 01d 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.

Hi Kurt,
That’s one of the greatest ESL sites on the web (the best one when it comes to activities).

Dear Kurt,
There are millions of EFL ESL books here in the library, but I use your worksheets more than any of the others combined.
I love them. My students love them.
Sincerely,
Margaret Holt - ESL Teacher,
Dear EFL4U,
I sincerely thank you and your entire team of wonderful professionals who are contributing tremendously to making the teaching of English a lot more fun and easy!

Dear Kurt,
Feel free to quote me on this! I have found your lessons to be the most useful of all that I have found on the Net! The teacher’s guidance makes presenting the lessons a doddle and the students’ pages are fun, varied, stimulating, exciting and always of interest to my students.
I am a freelance EFL teacher and the students vary from Austrian teenagers, on school trips to London, to adults at a language centre. Your lessons are especially useful for the latter group as I often get called upon to cover a class at the last minute!
Keep the lessons coming please, Kurt - and many, many thanks!
Toni
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.
