Download this free A2–B1 English worksheet PDF for English learners and teachers. This lesson is based on a recent report about whether countries should measure success using happiness, health, free time and wellbeing, not only money and GDP.
Students practise reading comprehension, useful vocabulary and speaking skills through a real-world topic about happiness, money, health, progress, fairness and quality of life. The worksheet is suitable for private English lessons, online classes, classroom teaching, homework and self-study.
The article explains the topic in clear, simple English. Students read that GDP shows how much a country makes and sells, but it does not always show whether people have a good life. The text also explains that a rich country can still have tired, lonely or worried people, while other places may offer stronger families, safer streets and more time to rest.
This worksheet helps lower-level learners talk about a serious social issue using accessible language. Students discuss whether money is important for happiness, what makes people feel successful, whether free time is more important than money and whether governments should measure happiness as part of national progress.
The PDF includes a short A2–B1 reading text, True / False questions, Synonym Match, a task where students use new vocabulary, discussion questions and a full answer key. It helps learners build useful vocabulary for talking about success, wellbeing, society, health, happiness and the future.
