Description

In this intermediate-level lesson, the students will use humor to explore how people cope with difficult or uncertain situations like doomsday scenarios. They will share personal preferences, imagine funny “last-day” situations, and practice expressing opinions and emotions in English. The goal is to help learners speak freely about sensitive or dramatic topics while maintaining a positive, witty outlook.
