Share one of your travelling stories with your partner. a. Where did you go? b. Did you go alone or with someone else? c. Did you have a guide? d. Do you want to go again? Why/Why not?

Exposure (3-5 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Elicit the words trip, guided tour, independently, package holiday, cruise and taxi from students and put the word cards on the WB. For example: Last year I went on a what? Yes, trip.

Clarification (6-8 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

In each word, check the meaning by asking some concept check questions. For example: (Word: Trip) 1. How many days did I stay on the cruise? It was only the weekend. (2-3 days) 2. Is it for a short or long period of time? (Short) 3. Does it have to be on the sea? (No) 4. What is the long one called? (Journey) Elicit the stress pattern on each word and mark it. Put the words go on, travel and get on the board. Ask students to match the phrases such as go on a trip.

Before moving on, ask one or two students about some of the questions.
