A lesson on describing personal characteristics and likes/dislikes, moving on to thoughts on marriage. I’ve used this with both Edexcel and AQA groups to revise these topics.

Tasks include grammar starter activity, paired reading, speaking and 40/90 words essay.

Links to two love songs by Édith Piaf have been added if you want to have music to play students in and out of the room. Some information also given about Piaf for cultural links (the lyrics to the second song are included too, so students can follow along if there’s time).

The dating small ads sheet accompanying the lesson is adapted from one found on TES (I can’t find the author, so apologies for not giving credit). Have slightly modified it so that students can try to work out which two people should get in touch.
