Reading comprehension activity. I have jumbled up an account of the plot of Mr Bean's holiday. Students have to read the eight mini-texts and put them in the correct order.

As a follow-up students could put the text into the first person or into the past tense or both.

(i) A definition of Carsharing followed by a discussion and diamond nine ideas-sort (ii) A variety of statements for and against Carsharing, followed by a comprehension activity, a speaking task, and an AS-style writing task.

A dialogue featuring some of the central characters from the film "Was tun, wenn's brennt?" The dialogue is not an actual scene from the film but is a fantasy love triangle featuring three of the characters. The text focuses on physical description, with a little bit of jealousy thrown in. It is followed by activities in which students must (i) identify key language, (ii) adapt the dialogue, focusing on the words in bold type, and (iii) enhance the dialogue by adding in adverbial phrases from a given list. Students will need to have seen the end of the film to get the joke at the end of the dialogue.
