Household Repairs (Speaking Worksheet)

In this C1 Speaking Worksheet students talk about household repairs, what it takes to be a handy person, how they manage themselves, and about home repair services and home insurance.

Students revise Grammar contents like «It» sentences (It’s no use, It’s no wonder…), inversions with Never…, and of course, the causative passive construction Have something done, which comes in really handy for this topic.

In the section of Functional Language, they look at different ways to express that they have a problem and at ways to explain how they solved it, allowing them to speak more accurately about the topic.

Some phrasal verbs are given to help them express their ideas more accurately, together with common idioms to express how easy or difficult things are.

This c1 speaking activity includes speaking questions to get your students talking, so they integrate all the contents on the worksheet while they speak.

You can also download the teacher and student’s feedback templates at the bottom of the downloads box. With them, you will be able to give your students well-structured individual feedback to take home.
