perlative adjectives and impersonal ‘you’.
Secondary aims:
Reading: by the end of the lesson students will have practiced reading for gist and detail on the subject of public transport.
Speaking: by the end of the lesson students will be better able to use comparatives and superlatives for describing public transportation.
(Note: think about what aims are realistically achievable in your lesson)

Students may have pronunciation challenges when speaking English due to the influence of their first language. Students might find it easier to
understand and use English vocabulary that has similar roots or cognates in Spanish, while struggling with words that are not similar in both
languages.
