  • Collocations: Make and Do (PDF)

    Collocations: Make and Do (PDF)

    Make and do are the two most-confused verbs in B1 English. There is no rule for which one to use — each collocates with specific nouns, and learners must memorise the pairs. Make tends to suggest creating or producing: make a decision, make a difference, make a phone call, make a mistake, make an effort, make progress, make a mess, make money. Do tends to suggest performing or completing an activity: do homework, do the washing-up, do exercise, do business, do research, do your best, do a favour. The worksheet trains B1 learners to internalise the highest-frequency make / do collocations.

    This worksheet builds B1 fluency with make / do collocations in everyday and workplace contexts.

    What’s inside:

    • Collocation table with 30+ make and do pairs grouped by topic
    • Multiple-choice items targeting make vs do choice
    • Gap-fill in everyday-and-workplace contexts
    • Memory-game task: match the noun to make or do
    • Personalised production: write five sentences using different make / do collocations

    Common challenges: L1 transfer is the central trap — most languages use one verb where English splits make / do. German machen covers both; Spanish hacer covers both. So make homework (wrong) and do a mistake (wrong) are the universal beginner errors. Mnemonic: make something new exists; do something happens. Even that rule has exceptions (make sense, do business) — at B1 it’s safer to memorise high-frequency pairs.

    For: Adult and teenage learners (14+) at CEFR B1, in intermediate classes, 1:1 lessons, or self-study. Make / do collocations are tested directly in Cambridge B1 Preliminary (PET) Reading-Use of English. Part of the Word Building & Style collection — the natural next step is Collocations: Have and Take, which extends the same skill into the next pair of overworked English verbs.

  • Reading: Travelling on a Budget (PDF)

    Reading: Travelling on a Budget (PDF)

    Travelling on a budget is the B1 reading text that combines practical advice with the analytical comparing-and-contrasting reading required at intermediate level. The text covers budget-travel strategies — hostels vs hotels, free walking tours, public transport over taxis, street food over restaurants, off-season travel, working holidays. Learners read for advice, comparison, and the underlying value judgment (saving money vs comfort).

    This worksheet builds B1 reading comprehension through a practical-advice travel text.

    What’s inside:

    • A B1 reading text (~450 words) on budget-travel strategies
    • Pre-reading vocabulary box with travel-and-budget terms

  • British vs American English Vocabulary (PDF)

    British vs American English Vocabulary (PDF)

    British vs American English vocabulary is the geographical-variation skill every B1 learner needs. Flat / apartment, lift / elevator, motorway / highway, lorry / truck, queue / line, biscuit / cookie, chips / fries, crisps / chips, jumper / sweater, trainers / sneakers, holiday / vacation, autumn / fall, post / mail, rubbish / trash, lift / elevator, mobile / cell, petrol / gas. Beyond vocabulary, spelling differs: colour / color, centre / center, organise / organize, analyse / analyze. The worksheet trains B1 learners to recognise both variants and use one consistently in their own writing.

    This worksheet builds B1 awareness of British and American English vocabulary differences.

    What’s inside:

    • Comparison table with 40+ BrE / AmE vocabulary pairs grouped by topic (home, transport, food, clothes, daily life)
    • Multiple-choice items: which is BrE, which is AmE?
    • Gap-fill in texts written in one variant (British or American) requiring consistent vocabulary
    • Rewriting task: convert a British paragraph to American or vice versa
    • Full Answer Key plus Teacher Notes on consistency and target variant

    Common challenges: Mixed-register writing (I went on holiday to vacation in Florida) sounds odd — once a learner commits to one variant, they should be consistent. Spelling pairs (-ise / -ize, -our / -or) are usually consistent within a text. False friends: biscuit in UK = cookie; in US = scone-like bread. The worksheets emphasise consistent use rather than mixed knowledge.

    For: Adult and teenage learners (14+) at CEFR B1, in intermediate classes, 1:1 lessons, or self-study. BrE / AmE awareness supports Cambridge B1 Preliminary (PET) through C2 Proficiency (CPE) and is essential for any learner working with international content. Part of the Word Building & Style collection — the natural next step is Connotation: Positive and Negative, which extends register awareness into the emotional-charge dimension of vocabulary.

  • Idioms: Body Parts (PDF)

    Idioms: Body Parts (PDF)

    Body parts idioms is the B1 figurative-language collection built on anatomical metaphors. Pull someone’s leg (joke), cost an arm and a leg (very expensive), put your foot in your mouth (say something embarrassing), give someone a hand (help), keep an eye on (watch), off the top of my head (without thinking carefully), head over heels (deeply in love), bite your tongue (stay silent). Learners build the body-idiom range that natural conversational English uses constantly.

    What’s inside:

    • An idiom bank with 20 high-frequency body-parts expressions
    • Matching task: pair idiom with meaning
    • Gap-fill in conversational contexts
    • Production task: write a dialogue using at least three body-parts idioms
    • Full Answer Key plus Teacher Notes

    Common challenges: Body-idiom transparency varies — give someone a hand (semi-transparent: hand = help) vs pull someone’s leg (fully opaque). Some have L1 equivalents that look similar but mean different things. Register: body-parts idioms are casual; using them in formal writing sounds odd.

    For: Adult and teenage learners (14+) at CEFR B1, in intermediate classes, 1:1 lessons, or self-study. Maps onto Cambridge B1 Preliminary (PET) and B2 First (FCE) Reading-Use of English. Part of the Body & Emotions Idioms collection — the natural next step is Idioms: Feelings and Emotions.

  • Speaking: Discussion Would You Rather B1 (PDF)

    Speaking: Discussion Would You Rather B1 (PDF)

    Would you rather B1 is the structured-discussion format that gives B1 learners decision-and-justification practice in a low-pressure, high-engagement frame. Each item presents two choices (Would you rather have superpowers or be able to time travel?) and asks the speaker to choose, justify, and consider trade-offs. Learners build the decision-justification fluency that distinguishes B1 fluent speakers.

    This worksheet builds B1 speaking fluency through Would You Rather discussion.

    What’s inside:

    • 25 Would you rather questions sequenced from light to substantive
    • A phrase bank for choosing, justifying, and considering trade-offs
    • Discussion-extension prompts: What if the situation changed to X?
    • Pair-work setup with role rotation
    • Teacher Notes with timing and management

    Common challenges: Justifying at B1 — strong speakers give a reason and a counter-consideration; weak speakers just state the choice. I’d rather X because Y, but then again Z. Maintaining engagement on light topics: humour and creative justification work better than serious analysis.

    • Multiple-choice on the most suitable advice phrase
    • Teacher Notes with pair-work setup

    Common challenges: Advice-as-imperative at B1 — Do this, don’t do that sounds bossy. If I were you, I would is the most natural English advice structure but requires Second Conditional. Modal verbs for advice: should, ought to, could, might want to.

    For: Adult and teenage learners (14+) at CEFR B1, in intermediate classes, 1:1 lessons, or self-study with a partner. Maps onto Cambridge B1 Preliminary (PET) Speaking. Part of the Functional English collection — the natural next step is Expressing Preferences: I’d Rather.

  • Fixed Expressions: Social Situations (PDF)

    Fixed Expressions: Social Situations (PDF)

    Fixed expressions for social situations are the formulaic phrases native speakers use without thinking — and that learners often miss because they’re not predictable from general vocabulary. Nice to meet you. How do you do? Long time no see. Take care. Have a good one. Have a safe trip. Best of luck. Sorry to hear that. Congratulations! Well done. Cheers (thanks). No worries. My pleasure. Don’t mention it. Each phrase has a specific social function — greeting, parting, sympathising, congratulating — and a register that matters. The worksheet trains B1 learners to deploy the right phrase for the social moment.

    This worksheet builds B1 fluency with high-frequency fixed expressions in social-interaction contexts.

    What’s inside:

    • Fixed-expression bank with 25+ phrases grouped by social function (greeting, parting, sympathy, congratulation, response)
    • Dialogue completion: choose the right fixed expression for the social moment
    • Register sort: classify each phrase by formality level (formal, neutral, casual)
    • Cross-cultural comparison: how do these social functions work in your language?
    • Full Answer Key plus Teacher Notes with role-play extension

    Common challenges: Cultural translation is the central issue — How are you? in English is a greeting (expects Fine, thanks), not a genuine enquiry; many languages take the greeting literally. Cheers in British English replaces thank you in many casual contexts and is also a parting word. Register: How do you do? sounds formal-to-archaic; Hi, nice to meet you is the modern default. Response pairs matter: Thanks → No worries / My pleasure / Don’t mention it.

    For: Adult and teenage learners (14+) at CEFR B1, in intermediate classes, 1:1 lessons, or self-study. Fixed expressions are core to Cambridge B1 Preliminary (PET) Speaking and are directly tested in everyday-conversation listening.

    Phrasal Verbs: Separable vs Inseparable (PDF)

    Separable vs inseparable phrasal verbs is the B1 grammar-of-phrasal-verbs worksheet. The rules: most transitive phrasal verbs are separable (object can go between verb and particle: turn the light off / turn off the light; with pronouns, MUST separate: turn it off, never turn off it). Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable (object always after particle: look after the children, never look the children after). Intransitive phrasal verbs have no object at all (sit down, stand up, give in).
