ESL Lesson Plan: How Is Public Transport In Your City?

This A1 ESL lesson introduces the topic “How is Public Transport in Your City?”, helping students learn and use simple vocabulary to talk about transport in everyday life. Learners describe how they travel in their city using transport such as buses, trains, trams, taxis, bikes, and scooters.

Students learn key adjectives such as “cheap,” “fast,” “modern,” “convenient,” “busy,” “safe,” “dangerous,” and “expensive,” and practise using them in simple sentences like “The bus is cheap” and “Trams are fast and modern.” They also practise basic structures for giving opinions, such as “I think…” and “It is…”.

The lesson includes speaking activities, matching tasks, ranking exercises, true or false statements, and simple discussions about transport in their city. Students are encouraged to share personal opinions using basic language like “I like…”, “I don’t like…”, and “because it is…”.

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to name common types of transport, describe them using simple adjectives, and give basic opinions about public transport in their city.
