😊 How Do You Feel? Feelings and the verb 'to be'

A fully interactive A1 Teens vocabulary-and-speaking lesson built around feelings — a friendly, everyday topic. Students begin with four gentle reflection warm-up questions, then study the language in three clear blocks: a face grid of twelve feeling words (happy, sad, tired, hungry, thirsty, scared, angry, bored, excited, cold, hot, fine), a verb 'to be' block teaching am/is/are with the short forms (I'm, she's, we're) and a simple negative (I'm not sad), and a question block for 'How are you?' and 'Are you…?' with natural short answers (Yes, I am / No, I'm not). Ten everyday words (happy, sad, tired, hungry, thirsty, excited, bored, feel, fine, because) appear in a horizontally scrollable table with simple A1 definitions and example sentences, and six receive detailed review flashcards. The reading is a magazine-style feature with four first-person mini-stories from teens in Sweden, Egypt, Taiwan, and Italy, each describing how they feel and why, with key vocabulary highlighted on hover. Practice includes 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions (feeling words and am/is/are) with live green/red validation, hints, and a running score; a speaking section with five interview prompts and a model dialogue; a guided 30–50 word writing task with a four-point checklist (using 'because' to give a reason) and live word counter; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz featuring a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered motivational feedback, and localStorage persistence. The tone stays warm, positive and age-appropriate throughout.
