I live in a small town in the mountains. There is a river in the middle of the town, and there are two bridges over it. There are some nice cafés near the river. There isn't a movie theater, so we watch movies at home. There aren't any big stores either, but there is a market every Saturday. Is there a swimming pool? Yes, there is. It's next to my school. Are there any museums? No, there aren't, but there is a great library.
Missing words: is, are, some, isn't, aren't, is, is, any, aren't, is
Teaching notes
Ten gaps in a description of a small town in the mountains, with there is, there are, there isn't and there aren't, the short answers "Yes, there is" and "No, there aren't", and some and any. Little words like so, either and but tell learners whether a sentence is positive or negative, and singular or plural nouns decide between is and are. It suits A1 learners.
Read the description aloud, then fill the gaps as a class or in pairs. Afterwards, learners draw a quick map of their own town or street, write five sentences about it with there is and there are, and ask a partner "Is there…?" and "Are there…?" questions about theirs. Play it live so each learner fills the gaps on their own device, or print it with the answer key.
