Description

In this lesson, students will listen to an audio selection of a woman recounting her experience travelling with a friend to Venice. Her friend invited herself along and turned out to be a terrible travel companion, ruining the trip for the others. We will introduce the topic with a lead-in, pre-teach vocabulary and analyse MFPA for new or difficult language before moving on to gist and detail listening tasks, then a post task to discuss the text.
