Ss will practice the TL by filling the gaps with to or leaving them blank. T: Look at ex. 2. Complete the sentences with to or nothing. For example, the first sentence "We came..." First work alone. T: Check in pairs.
Ss will work in groups. They will be given cards with items useful when travelling.

Then think why you use it (at least one reason). [elicit example with the word computer -> T: why do we use it? We use it to send emails. What else? To read the news... ] Tell your group "you use it to send emails and to read the news." the group has to guess what the object is. [DEMO with the word TV "You use it to watch series, films...."] ICQ1: Will you show the card? [no] ICQ2: Will you say the word? [no] ICQ3: Will you say why you use that thing? [yes] [Groups of 3] Error correction
