Copy of Listening Lesson (Fast Food)
Pre-Intermediate level

Description

In this lesson students will listen to two documentaries on fast food. The documentaries are quite long, so I have split them into many parts. Before each listening there will be a gist and scan (listen for specific info.) task. If there is time, I will play 'Devil's Advocate' and generate a debate on 'Fast Food vs. Healthy Food'.
