To tip or not to tip

In this part of the lesson, students say what they think ‘tipping fatigue’ means. They then watch the first part of a video to verify their idea. After that, students read sentences about tipping in the US containing mistakes. They watch the second part of the video and correct them. Following that, students look at information from the video (e.g. A waiter’s base pay can be below the minimum wage.) and compare tipping in the US with their country. Next, they read about an idea from the video and discuss tipping tax policies. Then, students practise more advanced vocabulary to talk about financial situations and choose the correct words in sentences. Finally, students summarize the lesson using some points (e.g. something new you learnt) and the target vocabulary.
