This lesson starts with a warm-up. Students look at the photos of different professions (e.g. a cleaner, a barista, a mechanic, etc.) and say if it’s expected to tip these people in their country. They share their personal experience with tipping in those situations and suggest other jobs where tipping is usually customary. Afterwards, students discuss tipping practices and motivations. Then, they complete the gaps in sentences about perspectives on tipping in the service industry. Students work on advanced vocabulary to talk about financial situations and use the correct forms of words to create idioms (e.g. stay afloat, live hand to mouth, break the bank, etc.). Following that, students look at the statements again and say if they agree or disagree, explaining their reasoning.
