Lesson overview:
This expressing gratitude worksheet teaches B1 adults how to say thank you in the right register, from Thanks a lot and I owe you one to I'm very grateful for your support. Students read four real-looking messages (a text, an email, a sticky note and a card) and match them to situations. They sort eight phrases into casual, neutral and formal, and choose the best reply to thanks, like Anytime or Don't mention it. A short rule card explains thank you for + -ing and appreciate with no for, then students complete six sentences and correct five common mistakes. They rewrite a too-casual message to a manager, write a thank-you note of 50 to 70 words, and finish with who they would like to thank this year. Every task works for self-study. Four A4 pages, answer key included.
Add it to a class plan and keep track of what you've taught.
