Legal Age UK (2025-26)
Quite a large resource that looks at the legal age e.g. marriage, leaving school, voting, etc. in the UK. It is suitable for ESOL, FE and other English related courses.
Reading comprehension, discussion, writing and more with texts aimed at E1-L2. Pick and choose those that suit your needs best.
Editor's notes
This is indeed an adaptable resource! Select from the many options according to your learners' level, the type of activity (card match, quiz, reading comprehension, practice questions, SPaG, discussion) and the amount of detail you wish to go into. In addition to general coverage of the rules, there are detailed texts and tasks about the legal age of marriage in the four countries of the UK.
Part of Colleen's very popular Living in the UK series for newcomers but most parts are equally useful for Functional Skills English.
