📖 Lesson B2 Reading🏠 Everyday Life

🛠 Get It Done!

Students read an original article exploring why more and more people outsource everyday tasks — from grocery delivery to home renovation. The causative structure (have/get something done) is embedded naturally throughout the text via real-life examples from characters like Nadia, Tomasz, and Hanna. The interactive game challenges students to classify situations as 'did it yourself' or 'had it done,' while discussion questions tackle the ethics of the gig economy and self-reliance.
