3a Circling and underlining
On page 54 is a newspaper article about Paris. While reading it, circling the things you like about visiting Paris and underling the thing you don’t like.
TRAVEL SPOTLIGHT: PARIS
For your next vocation, why not consider visiting Paris? Paris is the capital of France, and is one of the liveliest cities in Europe. It doesn’t have any beaches or mountains, but there are still many things to do there. For example, it has some fantastic sights, including the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the most famous churches in the world.
Traveling around Paris by taxi can cost a lot of money, but it’s usually quite convenient to take the underground train to most places. In general, though, France is quite an expensive place. One thing that is not expensive in France, however, is the wine！
Most people in France have learned English. But many people don’t like to speak English, especially in Paris. So unless you speak French yourself, it’s best to travel with someone who can translate things for you.
Read the article the second time and blacken all the expressions. You may copy them after class.
3b Doing pairwork
In pairs practice the conversation on the middle left of page 54. And then make new conversations with the information in the box on the right in the box.
A: Where would you like to go?
B: I’d like to visit Kunming.

B: I’d like to visit Hong Kong.
A: Isn’t it supposed to be very crowded?
B: Yes, it is. But Kong Kong is also beautiful, and it has lots of great entertainment sights.

A: Where would you like to go for the May Day vacation?
B: I’d like to see Mexico City.

Closing down by reading a poem

Terrible Dream
I'm feeling rather ragged.
I'm feeling rather rough.
I'm looking like I stayed up late,
and didn't sleep enough.

I went to sleep at bedtime
and dreamt all through the night,
but when I woke this morning
I was feeling far from right.

For though I drifted quickly,
and slumbered long and deep,
I'm totally exhausted
'cause I dreamed I couldn't sleep!
--Kenn Nesbitt

Subject: Vacation From: S.T. Zhang
Dear Ace Travel,
My family and I want to take a trip this summer somewhere in the east of China. I hope you can provide me with some information about the kinds of vacations that your firm can offer. We would like to travel to an exciting place, and we won’t mind how far we have to go. It has to be a place where we can do lots of exercise; we especially love hiking and swimming, but any kind of exercise is fine. We also need to stay in an inexpensive hotel. It would be nice if our hotel had rooms with kitchens so we could save money by cooking our own meals. The room needs to be big enough for three people. Also, we’d like to stay at a place with a big pool or somewhere near the ocean. Could you please give me some suggestions for vacation spots? Also, please let me know if it’s best to travel by plane, train or bus. We’d like to be away for about three weeks.
Thank you very much.
S.T. Zhang
3b Imaging and emailing
Imagine the you work for Ace Agency. You are to write an email message to S.T. Zhang, telling where you think he or she should go on vacation.
Subject: Vacation From: Deng Ming
Dear S.T. Zhang,
From your e-mail message I understand that your and you want to take a trip this summer somewhere in the east of China. Now I’d like to provide me with some information about the kinds of vacations that our firm can offer. You said that you would like to travel to an exciting place, and you won’t mind how far you have to go. So why not go to Mount Wuyi in Fu Jian Province? It is a beautiful place where you can do lots of exercise by hiking and swimming. You can also find an inexpensive hotel there. It is a fine hotel with kitchens so you could save money by cooking your own meals. The room are big enough for five people. Also, the hotel has a big pool close to the Minjiang River。While staying in Mount Wuyi you may go visiting Nine-crook Stream Waterfall Cave，Wu Yi Palace，Tiger Howling Rock and Jade Lady Peak. For transportation you may travel by plane from Shanghai to Mount Wuyi. To go back you’d better take train or bus. Three weeks is long enough for you to enjoy yourselves there.
Wish you a good va
