Procedure
1. Warming up
⑴Warming up by discussing
Good morning, class. Do you like traveling? Why do you like traveling? And why don’t you like traveling? Where have you ever been before? How did you get there? If you are given a chance to travel around the world, what kind of transportations will you use and why? Now look at the following pictures and discuss it in pairs.
Name of the transportations
Means of transportation
Reasons

by car (in a car)

by bike

by plane (by air)

by train ( on a train)

by bus ( on a bus)

by ship (by water or by boat)

in a hot balloon

by motorbike (on a motorbike)

by jeep

by truck

⑵Warming up by looking and speaking
Now boys and girls, what do you need to take with you if you are preparing for a bike trip along the Changjiang River? Look at the pictures and tell the whole class which object you think is the most useful and which one is the least useful. Give a reason why you think so.

⑶Warming up by asking and answering
Now suppose you live in Qinghai. You plan to take a holiday with a friend somewhere in Southeast Asia. You have been given a chance to choose three places to visit. Please find out the one-way fare to get there for different kinds of transportation. Perhaps you may not know the exact fare, but you can guess how much the fare is. Please have a short discussion with your partners and then decide where to go.
Ok, now I’d like you to ask your partner the following questions.
1. Where are you going on holiday? 2. When are you leaving? 3. How are you going to…?
4. When are you arriving in/at…? 5. Where are you staying? 6. How long are you staying there? 7. When are you coming back?
