Grammar-Countability/Happiness Unit 11

Hi all,
Does anyone have interesting exercises on 'countability' (as mentioned in IELTS Foundation Unit 10) If you have any interactive online practices, please post them/send them/share them.
In addition, Happiness is on the menu for Unit 11. There are endless ways of discussing the true meaning of happiness with our students. A survey, once again, can invite students to meet other students and interview them about how they perceive happiness. It can include leisure time, school time, family time, friend time...etc...and alone time. Do students really know how to appreciate their own company? Do they fear being alone? Are they in constant need of social contact? Do they think about the happiness of a teenager the same age, living in a third world country? Do they understand that perhaps wealth only contributes to happiness but does not necessarily make one happy? There are endless discussions to be brought to the table especially in our surroundings. Students need to know that to be grateful brings happiness as a result.
Let's move forward.
Peace

SHB
