🌟 Guided Meditation for Focus and Concentration 🌟

For our emotional warm-up, we'll do Guided Meditation. This practice will guide students through relaxation and focus exercises, helping them get ready for the lesson. Guided Meditation is a technique that allows students to close their eyes and follow verbal prompts to reach a state of calm and mindfulness.

1. Ask students to sit comfortably in their chairs, feet flat on the floor, and hands resting on their laps.

2. Instruct them to close their eyes and take three deep breaths, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.

3. Encourage them to focus on your voice and their breathing. Guide them to release any tension they may feel, starting from their heads and moving down to their toes.

4. Lead a visualization: imagine a peaceful and safe place where they feel relaxed and happy. Describe this setting with sensory details, including sounds, smells, and colours.

5. After a few minutes, gently guide them to bring their attention back to the classroom while maintaining their sense of calm and focus.

6. Instruct students to slowly open their eyes and return to the present, ready to engage in the lesson with full concentration.

The present continuous tense is used to describe actions happening now or in the near future. Picture a context where you need to inform a friend about what you’re currently doing, such as saying, 'I am studying English.' Mastering the present continuous not only enhances English communication but also allows us to express emotions and actions more clearly. This skill is essential for sharing our experiences and feelings in real-time, helping us connect more deeply with others. In today’s interconnected world, effective English communication can unlock numerous opportunities and cultural experiences.

3. I am studying (I am studying)

4. She is running (She is running)

5. They are playing (They are playing)

18. make ➡️ making

19. write ➡️ writing
