If you like warmers (it’s basically my favorite part of the lesson), ask your students to come up with a budget for a single 30-year-old in New York City. Does it match the one in the video?

Start by distributing the PDF to your students, and then watch the video below once or twice.

I have been teaching English abroad since receiving my CELTA certificate in Poland in 2018. I enjoy tracking my individual students’ development but love having lessons with big groups! Now that I teach online, I am accompanied by my sidekicks Olaf, Mała, Pirate and Bandit on a regular basis.
