everyone! How are you getting on?

Activity 1: Lead-in

T starts the lesson by drawing SS TSS


attention on two pictures which they SST
will have to compare and contrast.
Similarly, SS will try to establish the
common link between them and the
topic of the lesson. The first picture
relates to a healthy lifestyle and
shows a man jogging, whereas the
second picture highlights an
unhealthy lifestyle, showing a man
running top speed to his work. Both
men are running, but one is doing it
for exercise and the other one is
doing it because he might be late for
work.
