Hi there! 👨🏻‍🏫

Are you good at lying? What about at spotting lies?

In this conversation lesson, students have the opportunity to share their views on lying as they watch a trailer for a TV show in which liars are rewarded for their skilfull use of treachery and deceit and then go on to read an article with tips on what to watch out for when they believe they are being lied to.

The lesson includes listening, speaking, and reading practice and it also helps students practice functional language to express opinion, agreement, and disagreement.
