T shows the pictures from a work trip and asks questions about the pictures to draw their attention such as "Where did he go? (On a trip) What kind of a trip was it? (A work trip) "What's his job? (A biologist). T wants Ss to work in pairs and match the adjectives in the box with the pictures. T elicits the function of "very" and "really" and provides more examples. Ss listen to two conversations about Dr Egan and answer comprehension questions.

Ss listen to the conversations again and complete the questions from the dialogues. T elicits and highlights the questions and how to answer them. She drills the questions chorally and individually. She highlights other useful words and phrases such as "flight/bus ride, local food/seafood/fast food, storm/snowstorm, heavy traffic".
