English for Beginner Learners (A2) – Step 16: Would Like / Want To

In this lesson, students learn the difference between “would like” and “want to,” two essential expressions for talking about desires, preferences, and plans in polite everyday English. Through natural, real-life scenarios such as ordering food, making weekend plans, and talking about hobbies, students practice forming sentences and questions using both structures. Learners develop confidence in using “would like” for polite requests and “want to” for personal intentions.

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to
• Use “would like” to make polite offers and requests
• Use “want to” to talk about goals, plans, and preferences
• Form questions with both structures in real conversations
• Listen for the difference in tone and meaning
• Apply the language in short speaking tasks and role-plays

This lesson prepares students to communicate more naturally in restaurants, shops, social situations, and when planning activities with friends or coworkers.
