In light of recent news—that we are now in the era of “global boiling”—it might be time to ask: How could you be more sustainable? This class focuses on tips for being more sustainable, with a language focus on expressions of willingness. What will be a “piece of cake” and what’s “out of the question”?

 

Detailed Description
This B1-B2 ESL class talks about sustainability. First, students discuss an unsustainable habit they have–let’s see if they own up! They then learn ways to say something is impossible or that they are not willing to do it, that something is hard, or they would only do it if they had to, and that something is easy or that they are totally willing to do it. After that, they’ll discuss a number of tips for being more sustainable, and finally they will add their own.
