A calendar with lots of activities (4 seasons) to practise speaking/writing

Here are some ideas on how to use this calendar:
  1. As you can see, each month has three identical weeks and one different, which can be used for practising Present Simple/Continuous (e.g. I usually go to the swimming pool on Friday, but today I'm going to the skating rink.), Present Perfect (e.g. I have been to the cinema three times this month.), Past Simple/Continuous ( e.g. I called you yesterday but you weren't at home. - Oh yes, I was having a karate lesson then.)
  2. Practise saying the date, review days of the week
  3. Learn/review lots of action verbs/places
  4. Practise using "going to", "have to", "must"
  5. Revise the prepositions of place and time (in February, in winter, on Monday, on the 1st of August, at the weekend, at the beginning/end/in the middle of the month/week, at the cinema, to the theatre)
The calendar is editable, so you can change anything you want once you download it.
