T elicits rent: "I am not rich. So I can't buy a house. But, for a month, I can ____ it" (Rent) T tells the story and using the pictures and the phrases on the board "I went to Paris. And I wanted to rent a "bike". My hotel was "X" here and I wanted to go to this museum "Y". But I wanted to take the train to go back. They said: "Oh don't worry, You can leave the bike at any station in the city". There was a child there. She was 13 years old. She wanted to ride a "bike", too. They said "No. A thirteen-year-old child can't use the bikes". There was also a "fat" man. He wanted to rent a bike. They said "No. You can't. Users have to be healthy!". Then I said "I'm in a hurry! Come on! How much is it?" They said "Users don't have to pay for the first thirty minutes." Inst: Match the meanings with the sentences on the board. T gives the HO.
