Global Justice contexts for presenting and practising grammar

TEACHING AND PRACTISING GRAMMAR:

Present Continuous: 'What am I doing? ... I'm opening the door...'

Present Perfect: 'How many countries have you been to / shoes have you got / cars have you driven ...?'

Past simple: 'Yesterday, Mary (or some other invented, non-existent person) got up at 7. She had breakfast ...'

2nd conditional: 'If you won £1,000,000, what would you do?...'

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS (boring, distant and/or promoting a capitalist / consumerist world view)!!!!
