Watertown is rich in ethnic diversity and culture, boasts a high level of citizen involvement, and many amenities such as shopping malls, swimming pools, golf and tennis clubs, skating rinks, athletic clubs, eleven fine parks and public transportation providing easy access to Boston and surrounding communities.

A sample guide:
A Town for Relaxation
My town is a small town, but a great place for relaxation. If you are tired of the noise and stress of big cities and want a complete relaxation, please come to my town. There is delicious local food. There are also small mountains where you can go hiking. The air is fresh and there is not much noise. People are here very friendly. You will have a quite relaxing holiday here. Welcome to my town!

Step IV Role Play (4: P90)
Ask the Ss to role play a conversation between an information booth worker and tourists.
T: There’re some tourists from foreign countries, they want to pay a visit to our city. But they know little about the city. So they come to the information booth and ask for information. Work in groups. Suppose one of you is an information booth worker, and the others are tourists. Remember, the worker should give clear information and directions. Each tourist should ask at least one question about the city.
A sample conversation: (T=tourist; W=worker)
T1: Could you please tell us if there are any good restaurants in your city?
W: Yes. There is a seafood restaurant near the central square. The food there is very delicious. You can also watch species of fish in a huge fish jar.
T2: Could you tell me where we can buy some clothing?
W: You can go to the shopping mall on the business street. Take the No. 2 bus and get off at the fifth stop. Turn left and walk about three hundred metres. The mall is right on your left.
T3: Do you know where we can do some sports?
W: Well, you can go to the municipal gymnasium. It is not far away from here. It is about 15 minutes’ walk.

Step V Homework
