The lesson starts with a discussion about the places they have visited and what they enjoyed about these places. Teacher will instruct: Think about a trip that you have made Where did you go? What interesting places did you visit? Students will discuss for 2 minutes in the breakout rooms After this, there will be a brief OCFB

Students are going to read a Model text called My trip to London. Next, students will identify the Layout by matching the paragraphs to the information that they present. Here the activity 1) The first time I visited another country was when I went to London. It was 6 years ago and I went with three friends. The plane was very expensive, so we decided to travel by bus. The journey to London took about sixteen hours, but we were very excited because for all of us it was our first time away from home. 2) We stayed in London for three days in a hotel not far from the center. While we were there we walked a lot. First, we went to see all the famous sites –Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus, Buckingham Palace---, then we went shopping in Oxford street. On the last morning, my friends stayed in bed late, but I got up and went to Camden Market. You can buy all kinds of jewelry and clothes there, and I bought a silver ring for my sister. It was really hot and sunny in the afternoon, so we went to Hyde Park for a game of football. Unfortunately, I think the ring fell out of my pocket during the game, because I couldn’t find it when I got on the bus that evening.   3) I’ve been back to London several times since then, but I don’t think I’ll ever feel as excited as I did that first time. A) This paragraph gives a conclusion and a personal opinion B) This paragraph talks about the things they did in the city (places that they visited, things that they bought, etc.) C) This paragraph starts with general information about the trip (the city, the time, the transport, etc.) Answer key 1=C 2=B 3=A

Teacher will set an activity to clarify MF of the TL (linkers: so, because, then, but). The activity will be learner-centered. Students will complete the next phrases from the text in order to identify relevant language conventions. Also, they will see the linkers in different colors. This will help the students to see that these linkers are joining sentences. Students will work in pairs in the breakout rooms. Here the answer key 1. I went to… London 2. And I went with… three friends. 3. So we decided to travel by… bus 4. But we were very excited because… it was our first time away from home. 5. We went to see… all the famous sites 6. Then we went shopping in… Oxford street Then, they will discover the meaning of the linkers. working in pairs in the BR 1. The plane was expensive, SO we decided to travel by bus 2.

If we want to write about a trip that we made in the past… Do we use the simple past or the future tense?

First, in pairs, for 2 minutes, students will have a brainstorm about the city or place that they will write about. Teacher will instruct: You are going to write about a trip.

Individually Use the slide with YOUR NAME Can you use any slide, or the slide with your name?
