Show sts the what to do in London ppt. Ask them questions about the pictures and try to elicit the words ice-skating, museum, open-air. When the ppt is over, ask students: which one would you like to go? Why?
Give the sts the text. Tell them: -Read the text and match the titles with the paragraphs. You have 5 mins. When students finish reading, have them do pair check. Then, get answers from students.
Before giving the students "where can you" exercise, give them these instructions: -Read the text again and write SH, SK or HH in the small boxes in 10 minutes(write Somerset House, South Kensington and Hampstead Heath on the board and underline the initials to make students realise what they are about). After 10 minutes, use pair check and nominate students to give the answers. When they finish, give them the comprehension questions and tell them to answer the questions with their partners in 4 mins. When the time's up, get answers from students.
Give these instructions to the students and give the speaking production sheet: -You are going to talk about these questions in groups. You have 5 mins to prepare short notes. After 5 mins, make groups of three and give them 4 mins to talk. Note down if you see major problems and give feedback at the end of the lesson.
