TO BE READY FOR NEXT WEEK

  • Conversations about trips you have planned are scheduled for Monday & Tuesday

Make sure that you are prepared with

  • a variety of screenshots to help you describe & explain the details of your trip 
  • a piece of paper with info about your itinerary (in English) & details of your plans. No text on your images/phone, please.

Be strategic!

  • Think about ways that you can incorporate a variety of vocabulary & language structures 
    • One way to do this is to include them in the questions you ask. For example, “Are you staying in a hotel, a Bed & Breakfast, a cabin … ?” Or, in your reactions & connections such as, “I wouldn’t want to travel around by bike because there are a lot of hills and mountains in the area.” 
    • Think about phrases or expressions you can use to include some conditional & subjunctive. For example, “If I had more time, I would …”  
    • Though you are talking about a future trip, you can sneak in some past tense by referring to a past vacation. For example, “I have never done ____, so I am excited to be able to do it on this trip. “

Remember!

  • This is not a presentation. You and a friend are talking about the trips you have planned. It is a conversation. Some conversations will feel more natural and “flow” better than others. You will keep the conversation going with questions, answers, follow up, reactions, and connections. Bring your enthusiasm 🙂
