This B1 English worksheet explores one of the most relevant topics for today’s learners 📱 digital distractions and smartphone use in everyday life. Students reflect on their own habits, discuss social media, and build the language they need to talk about screen time, balance, and modern communication in a way that feels real and relatable.
The lesson combines engaging discussion, a thought provoking reading text, and a listening task based on real experiences with phone overuse. Learners develop their speaking confidence while practising reading for detail and expressing opinions clearly and naturally.
A guided writing task helps students give practical advice using useful phrases such as “You should…” and “If I were you…”, making it ideal for developing functional language in a meaningful context. The worksheet finishes with personalised discussion questions that encourage deeper thinking and genuine communication in the classroom.
Designed for B1 learners in General English and vocational contexts, this lesson supports speaking, reading, listening, and writing in a structured but flexible way. It is easy to use, requires minimal preparation, and works perfectly for lessons on technology, lifestyle, and wellbeing.
Teach a topic your students actually care about and spend your free time planning other things ✨
