Sherlock (S1E1) – ESL worksheet

To be honest, this TV show can be quite difficult to understand without subtitles even for students with Advanced level. But. As CELTA tells us, grade the task, not the content. So I used it with my High Intermediate (B1+) level teen and it worked quite well. With subtitles, of course 🙂 Also works with Upper Intermediate.

The whole episode is a bit over an hour, so I broke it into 15-minute fragments. Other parts are coming up.

Please note that as it is a crime show, the topics can be quite sensitive. This particular one discusses suicide/death. The episode itself, however, never shows any brutal scenes.

The worksheet and answers in .pdf are both available to download below. I would appreciate any feedback in the comment section! Thanks 😉
