Objective & Resource Content
The objective is to enable students to **expand their lexicon** for describing social relationships and personality traits by identifying and acquiring **synonyms for common adjectives**.
The document is an exercise sheet consisting of a synonym matching activity. Students must connect pairs of adjectives with similar meanings, all related to the theme of relationships. The pairs to be reconstructed are, for example, *friendly/kind*, *lonely/alone*, or *related/connected*. This targeted vocabulary activity is essential for empowering students to discuss social and interpersonal topics, a key skill for the B1 level.
Suggested Lesson Flow
Before the Activity (~5 min): ACTIVATE VOCABULARY
-
Ask an open question to the class, such as: "**What makes a good friend?**" or "**How would you describe a very social person?**". Write the suggested adjectives on the board.
During the Activity (~5-10 min): CONNECT THE WORDS
-
Distribute the sheet. Students work individually or in pairs to connect the synonym pairs.
-
Lead a group correction. For each pair, have the words repeated and ask one or two students to use them in a simple sentence to check comprehension.
After the Activity (~10 min): ROLE-PLAY/APPLICATION
-
Propose a mini-scenario: "**Imagine a new student arrives in your class. Describe his/her personality.**" or "**Describe the relationship between two of your favorite characters from a series.**"
-
Students must produce a short description orally or in writing using at least three of the new adjectives from the sheet.
Adaptations
-
To Simplify: Do the first two pairs as a whole group. Allow students to use a dictionary if necessary.
-
To Extend: Ask students to find the **antonym** (the opposite) of each pair of adjectives. A debate can also be started on the slight nuances in meaning between the synonyms (e.g., "**lonely**" vs "**alone**").
