In this lesson, your students will discuss how they celebrated last New Year’s Eve and read about New Year’s Eve celebrations in Scotland.

Age: Teenagers/Adults
Level: Pre-intermediate

1. Put students in pairs and tell them to ask each other the questions in the warmer. While they are talking, monitor their conversations and make a note of any
mistakes or emergent language. Make sure that they are using the past tenses correctly as all the warmer questions are in the past simple tense.
2. Ask each student to report to the class what their partner did on New Year’s Eve last year. Allow students to ask any follow-up questions if they have them.
3. Next, ask students to read the article about New Year’s Eve in Scotland in Exercise 1. Be prepared to pre-teach any difficult vocabulary (fair, coal) then ask the students to do the true or false sentences in pairs. When they have finished, check the answers as a class.

Answer key:
a. true
b. false (it’s New Year’s Eve)
c. true
d. false (it’s the song people sing at midnight)
e. true
f. false (they should be dark)
g. false (they always bring coal as a gift)
