My English Speaking Activities For Adults. Part 42. Present Continuous. Present Perfect Continuous.

Well, hello again! This week I'm practising Present Continuous and Present Perfect Continuous with my students. The speaking task I'm posting today, has proven to be quite effective.

Target Language 1: Take after somebody

Target Language 2: Job/work related activities

Target Language 3: Present Continuous

Target Language 4: Present Perfect Continuous

Target Language 5: Crave to do something

Task for Speaker A:

Whom did these people take after? What are they doing now? How long have they been doing this? What do they crave to achieve professionally?

Task for Speaker B: Any extra question

Example:

Mary - mom (fashion designer)

Speaker A: Mary took after her mom. Now she's developing her own jeans brand. She's been developing this brand for a couple of years. Professionally, she craves to take part in the next NY fashion week.

Speaker B: Extra question (e.g. Have you ever visited a fashion week?)

LET'S GO!

Alex - dad (goldsmith) Linda - mom (teacher) Lisa - dad (architect)

Jessica - mom (lawyer) John - dad (e-tailer) Lucy - dad (film director)

Mike - mom (musician) Claire - mom (actress) Phil - dad (chef)
