ABOUT THIS LESSON
About This Luck ESL Lesson
Successful people often credit talent, discipline and hard work. But where someone is born, who they meet and whether the right opportunity appears at the right moment can also have an enormous influence on their future.
This B1–B2 Luck ESL lesson explores the relationship between luck and success. Students consider the influence of opportunity, privilege, timing, effort and personal choices, and debate how much control people really have over their achievements.
The lesson combines an original reading and audio with vocabulary, comprehension, discussion questions and critical-thinking activities. Students use English to discuss success, fairness, opportunity, hard work, chance and whether people can create their own luck.
