 Rants and raves: winter This short listening practice activity for teens and adults can be used with learners of any level. Students will listen to a woman living in the UK talking about all the reasons why she doesn't like winter. The recording can be used as a starting point for a range of speaking or writing activities in the online or face-to-face classroom. |

|  Signs of spring This activity is for young learners aged 6 to 10 living in northern hemisphere countries where it is almost spring, and is especially useful to see how nature comes to life in this season. In this lesson children identify the objects on their worksheet together and then go outside or look at pictures inside the classroom to see what they can find. |
