A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Review bargain, afford and compare prices. Offer imagined purchases or approximate amounts for spending questions.
- Read the prompts and identify what each asks. Model one full-sentence response, then keep page 2 for checking after learners attempt their own answers.
- Write about usual shopping, then distinguish a recent purchase from yesterday's purchase.
- Optionally compare one planned purchase and explain why it would be useful.
Support and extension
Allow I bought nothing yesterday and fictional spending examples. Discuss differences between individuals without turning them into gender or cultural stereotypes. Page 2 responses are models, not a shopping checklist. For support, provide a few sentence starters or let learners rehearse orally first. Use the models to notice useful language while preserving each learner's own meaning.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
