Download this free A2–B1 English worksheet PDF for English learners and teachers. This lesson explores school reunions, old friendships, memories and how people change after leaving school.
The article looks at why school reunions can create both excitement and nervousness. Some people enjoy the chance to see old friends again, while others worry about jobs, families, forgotten names or difficult memories from the past.
Students read about a man who attended a reunion because he wanted to apologise to a former classmate he had failed to help at school. The classmate had been bullied, and the man regretted staying silent. Their conversation was uncomfortable, showing that meeting people from the past can sometimes bring back painful experiences.
The worksheet also presents the more positive side of reunions. An old friend may have changed completely, someone you barely knew at school could become a new friend, and people can share funny memories or simply enjoy seeing how everyone’s lives have developed.
The discussion section encourages students to talk about school memories, former classmates, teachers, bullying, second chances, social media and whether reunions are useful or uncomfortable.
