A2–B1 lesson about travel mishaps, everyday disasters, and stressful situations that helps students practise the contrast between the Past Simple and Past Continuous.

Students explore useful vocabulary for common mishaps such as break down, run out of, get stuck, then listen to and read about different situations where things went wrong.

The lesson includes vocabulary, listening, reading, grammar discovery, controlled practice, error correction, picture-based storytelling, and interactive speaking tasks where students describe unexpected events and tell stories about things that went wrong.
