interesting and well thought out, but it would have been good to have the answers supplied. thanks anyway, it was just what I was looking for!
I’ve supplied the answers. Look above ;)
Nice pieces of exercise, I appreciate them a lot…
This handout is great! It’s just the right level for my students. Unfortunately, when I open the PDF, Adobe indicates that there is a problem with it. The first page or two are missing, and Adobe suggests contacting the author about it. So, I’m contacting you. Thanks again for the wonderful lesson plan.
Thought worksheet was brilliant. Have slightly adapted….now just need to try it out with the students!
Thanks
Love the worksheets. Unfortunately I have the same problem as Cynthia. Page one of the Upper Intermediate is missing, with similar comment. Any way of being able to download/print out page 1? Thanks.
Nice, thank you :) some tricky vocab in there. I guess in religious topics its always like this. I was struggling a little teaching the meaning of Maundy. Nevermind :) I’m pleased
I opine that to receive the personal loans from banks you should have a good reason. Nevertheless, once I’ve received a consolidation loan, because I wanted to buy a house.
I do appreciate these exercises pretty lot, just a pity Ï come from the most secular country in the world, and our students do not have clue what happened to Jesus, what Palm Sunday is, etc. Not a bit. Just fun about decorating, colouring eggs, beating girls with pleated rods, pouring buckets of water on women and drinking heavily…..
thank you so much first week back after easter unpredictable numbers-this was a great help
Awesome!!Thanks a lot!!
I think they a fantastic. I am immensely grateful. On Wednesday I need something and I had no idea what to do for Easter as I am so busy with all the regular programme and then I found these great worksheets for all the three levels I teach.Thank you so very, very much.
