This document contains a lesson plan for an English class on the topic of shopping. The lesson aims to teach students vocabulary related to shopping, practice listening, grammar, reading and speaking skills. The plan involves students traveling virtually to different cities like Paris, London, and Kyiv to learn about popular shopping destinations in each place. Activities include filling in a guidebook with vocabulary, having dialogues in shops, describing items to guess what they are, reading about a famous British store, and role playing conversations at a market. The goal is to both teach English shopping vocabulary and have fun exploring different shopping cities around the world.
