HOT CLIMATES VERSUS COLD CLIMATES; WHICH IS BETTER?

Pre Intermediate Language Leader / Unit 1

This activity has been designed to accompany the first unit of Pre intermediate Language Leader but can be done on its own as well. Do the research and make notes, group similar information together and put it one paragraph then write.

Hint: some of the material is all about human beings; some is about efficiency in terms of the city. You can’t put all this information together in one paragraph.
