2　 Tell the students that they are going on holiday. In pairs, have them talk about where they want to go, and how they want to get there. Help the students to say things like, I want to go to Lhasa. Let's go by bus / by air, etc.

Step 3 Read and act

SB Page 66, Part 1, Speech Cassette Lesson 117. Teach when (conj.), rain and health. Books closed! Play the tape. Now ask When does David take the bus? (When it rains.) Books open! Play the tape again, students listen and repeat. In pairs, have students practise the dialogue.

Step 4 Read and make up dialogues

SB Page 66, Part 2, Speech Cassette Lesson 117. Teach the new vocabulary. Books closed! Ask Why does the speaker like to travel by train? Play the tape and let the students listen for the answer (Because it is cheap and safe; he can see a lot, too.) Books open! Choose two students to read the dialogue to the class. In pairs, have the students practise the dialogue. Now have them make up their own dialogue using some of the suggestions in the box. Have several pairs volunteer to read their dialogues for the class.

Step 5 Practice

Students make up dialogues in pairs, using the phrases provided in the box in SB Page 66, Part 2. Encourage your students to create situations, which may not necessarily be true to reality, e.g. My home is in Sydney, Australia.

Step 6 Workbook

SB Page 149, Wb Lesson 117, Exx. 1 and 2. In addition to the questions in Ex. 1, you may encourage students to think up more interesting questions, such as, Do you think you are too busy? Do you want to have more time for rest or games? Ex. 2 is an interview. Get the students to work in pairs. They should try to ask as many questions as they can. Collect all the questions and write them down. Put all the questions on display. This is a good way to help revise what has been taught so far.
