Worksheet Description

This worksheet is themed around the concept of clichés in the English language. It provides a definition of a cliché as an expression that has become overused to the point of losing its originality and appeal, and notes that clichés are often predictable and boring. The worksheet lists eight incomplete cliché expressions and challenges students to complete them by choosing appropriate words from a provided word box. Each blank in the expressions corresponds to one of the words in the word box, and students must use their knowledge of common phrases to fill in the blanks correctly.

The worksheet is teaching students to identify and understand clichés, which are commonly used phrases in the English language. By completing well-known cliché expressions, students learn to recognize these phrases and understand why they are considered clichés. This exercise also aims to increase students’ vocabulary and familiarity with idiomatic expressions. Through this activity, students are encouraged to think about originality in language and the importance of avoiding overused expressions in their own writing.
