deliver the lesson. If you don’t know what level
your students fall into, try asking their teachers or
parents. 
PRACTICAL EXERCISE

during the lesson. They could be paper-based or oral,
done individually or in groups. The purpose of these
activities should be to help them practice what they’ve
learned and reinforce it through real-life experience.

finish their work early busy. Don’t let them sit
idly, or else they will engage in disruptive
activities.
