Expressions for Bad People



1. Warm-up Activity (Engage)

Objective: Activate prior knowledge and spark interest.
🔹 Activity: Show pictures or act out behaviors (e.g., lying, stealing) and ask:
👉 "What kind of person is this?"
👉 "What do you call someone who does this?"

💡 Encourage students to guess and describe behavior in simple words.


2. Introducing Key Expressions (Explain)

Teach common expressions with examples:

ExpressionMeaningExample Sentence
LiarSomeone who doesn't tell the truthHe is a liar. He never tells the truth.
CheaterA person who deceives othersThe cheater copied my answers in the exam.
ThiefSomeone who stealsA thief stole my wallet.
BullySomeone who hurts or scares othersThe bully takes money from younger students.
Mean personSomeone who is rude and unkindShe is a mean person. She always insults people.
SelfishA person who only thinks about themselvesHe never shares his food. He is selfish.

👀 Visual Aids: Use pictures, short videos, or flashcards to reinforce understanding.


3. Interactive Practice (Explore)

A. Role-play (Speaking Practice) 📌 Activity: Assign roles (a liar, a bully, a kind person, etc.). Let students act out a short conversation using the expressions.
Example:

  • Student A (cheater): "Let me copy your answers!"
  • Student B: "No! You are a cheater!"

B. Match the Expression (Listening Activity) 📌 Read short descriptions aloud, and students match them with the correct expressions.
Example:

  • "This person takes money from people without asking." (Answer: Thief)

C. Fill in the Blanks (Writing Activity) 📌 Give incomplete sentences and let students fill in the missing word.
Example:

  • "A _______ always lies to everyone." (Answer: Liar)
  • "The _______ took my phone from my bag." (Answer: Thief)

4. Fun Game (Enhance)

"Who's Who?" Game
📌 Write different expressions on small slips of paper (Liar, Bully, Thief, etc.). Each student picks one without showing others.
📌 The student acts out the behavior, and others guess the word!
🎉 Example: A student pretends to steal a pen, and classmates shout, "Thief!"


5. Application & Reflection (Evaluate)

🔹 Discuss: Why are these behaviors bad? How can we deal with such people?
🔹 Think-Pair-Share: Let students share real-life examples.
