  1. Both my students and I love your films and make us have precious conversation.
    Thank you.

  2. Thank you so much. My students and I are in the middle of a unit about food an drink, healthy habits, ordering food at a restaurant etc so this lesson will be really helpful to motivate them and get them talking (not only the typical role-play waiter – costumer(s), which works because I record them and upload it on the school’s blog), but this lesson is great. Thank you again!

  3. I love your website! This lesson plan is perfect for one of the lessons I’ve planned for my B2 level class.

    Thanks!

  4. Thank you, this is wonderful and very helpful. Lovely idea too. I will most certainly use it for my first ESL Conversation Lesson.
    Thank you once agin

  5. Hi, Kieran! I enjoyed watching this Coke ad. This is a perfect warm-up for my speaking activities. It’s good exercise for using comparisons. This is also a good resource to teach about past and present tenses and comparative adjectives.

  6. Great help for teachers around the world. A wonderful didactic tool that makes the teaching of English entertaining and profitable for both educators and students. Thanks a lot from Spain!!!.

    Dear Kieran,

    I’m a teacher at the Centre of Adult Education in Tervuren/Hoeilaart, near Brussels, Belgium. My colleague recommended your website, and I used it in my lesson of English conversation (advanced level) yesterday and it worked wonderfully well! I showed them the Coca Cola advert and used your lesson plan (which is very well constructed, congratulations!). My students were very enthusiastic and motivated and just loved the lesson (they normally do, but now even a bit more!).
    Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful material with other teachers.

  8. Hi Kieran, great motivating lesson material!
    I have one question though. Isn’t it a little too much to expect from the pupils that they immediately and accurately reflect on the liftestyle of their grandparents in step one? If I asked this in my classes I would not get much response, I think. Maybe you could ask them to interview their grandparents about their lifestyles in advance so they have more support before starting this lesson?

  9. Hi Kieran, I have been using this lesson plan with my Quebecois secondary school students over the last two weeks, it’s great seeing them so engaged. I started the lesson off by looking at a 1905 Coca Cola advert; comparing it to advertisements we see today, next was the lifestyles activity (them/their grandparents) then looked out for both differences and similarities in the advert and finished it with the discussion questions. Thank you so much for this fab lesson plan!

  10. Hi, I loved it! I teach secondary school English here in Malaysia, and my young and very easily bored students would certainly find it interesting to have advertisements like this as part of their lessons.

    Thank you very much for the lesson plan & ideas 🙂

  11. Hi Kieran,

    Your site is so helpful! I just wante to congratulate for your hard work to make it possible. I have ordered your book and Iam looking forward to getting it. Go ahead, you are doing a great job.

  12. Really enjoy working with this website with my advanced students. They really get talking and I just love the freshness of the lessons and the layout. This, along with jobs, are among our favorites!
