It is a complete lesson (maybe 2) on the topic of Global Warming and an introduction to Conditionals (zero form). It includes Reading, Writing ,Listening and Speaking activities.
Conditionals not usually included in Beginner’s courses because it is quite complex. This lesson will be challenging for most Beginners as it also includes some complex vocabulary There is a deliberate repetition of sentences in the activities to keep this simpler for beginners .
