This activity introduces new vocabulary and provides oral practice using the target language．
Go through the instructions and look at the two pictures． Ask, Who can describe the interior of each restaurant? （Rockin Restaurant has red walls, ugly paintings on the walls, and loud music． The Blue Lagoon has blue walls, plants, flowers, and a piano player． ） Say, Which restaurant would you rather go to? Talk about it with your parter．
Let students work in pairs, and tell each other which restaurant they would like to go to and why． When students work, go around the classroom offering help as needed． When they have finished talking to each other, call out several pairs to say their conversations to the class．
Sample conversation
SA: Which restaurant would you like to go to?
SB: I’d like to go to the Blue Lagoon．
SA: Why?
SB: Because there are plants and flowers there．

This activity gives students practice in understanding the target language in spoken conversation．
Ask students to read the instructions．
Look at the chart and point out the two headings: The Rockin’ Restaurant and The Blue Lagoon． Look at the sample answer．
Let a student read the completed sentence, and then say, You will hear the missing words on the recording． Fill in the blanks with the words you hear on the tape．
Play the recording the first time． Students only listen carefully． Play the recording again． This time fill in the missing words．
Check the answers with the whole class．

Girl 2: Let’s go to the Blue Lagoon． The soft music makes me relaxed．

Step Ⅳ 1c
This activity provides guided oral practice using the target language． Look at the example in the box． Invite a pair of students to read it to the class．

SB: Oh, really? Loud music makes me energetic．
SA: Not me! Loud music makes me stressed out．
Go through the instructions with the class．
Tell students they will be talking about their own opinions with a partner． Look back at the chart in Activity 16． Make up a conversation with a partner using words from the chart, such as awful pictures, loud music and soft music．
While students are working in pairs, walk around the classroom, and listen to some pairs． If necessary, offer language support． Then ask some pairs to act out their conversations in front of the whole class．
Optional activity
Let students look around the classroom, think about other rooms in the school, and talk about how these places make the students feel． For example, what are your opinions about this room? A student might answer, This room is sunny． It makes me happy． Or ask them． What are your opinions about all the noise in the cafeteria? A student might say． All the noise in the cafeteria makes me tense．
Notes:
