In today's session, we are going to do a comprehensive review of Unit 2 "Travelling Around". This unit has equipped us with a wealth of vocabulary, useful grammar structures, and the ability to talk about travel plans. Let's start with a fun activity. I will play a short conversation, and I want you to listen carefully and fill in the blanks. (The teacher plays the audio of the conversation.) Teacher: Alright, let's see if you got the answers right. The conversation goes like this: Paul says, "Hey, Melin! So what are you doing for (the coming holiday)?" And Melin replies, "I (am travelling around Europe) for two weeks with my aunt and uncle." Paul then exclaims, "Europe? Oh, I've always wanted to go there!" Melin says, "Yes, me, too. I'm so excited. I (am planning to visit) France and Germany." Paul asks, "That's wonderful! Do you (have your passport and visa) already?" Melin answers, "I already have my passport, and I (am applying for my visa) tomorrow. (Once I get the visa), we'll (book flight tickets online)." Paul further asks, "So how do you (plan to travel around)?" Now, let's think about some questions related to this conversation. Do you know where Melin's final destination is in Europe? Student 1: Neuschwanstein Castle. Teacher: Exactly! Great job. And how about her Europe travelling plan? We can learn more from a postcard she sent. Let's read it together. (The teacher projects the postcard on the screen.) Teacher: "Hi Paul, Hello from our final (destination) Neuschwanstein Castle! We arrived in Europe about six days ago. (I'm glad that we rented a car). The (highways) here are wonderful, and driving lets you see (lots of amazing sights). I am also pleased I (packed good walking shoes), because we've walked A LOT in the last few days. I feel like we drive for only a short time and then walk and walk and walk! I think (what I admire most) so far is the (architecture). The (details) on the buildings here are so unusual, so different from China. Of course, I'm also enjoying the shopping! I (bought gifts for all of my family and friends). I am very glad my (credit card) works here, so I don't have to carry a lot of money. I hope I can come back here some day and see all of these (amazing) places again. Your friend, Melin." Teacher: Now, let's focus on the vocabulary used in this postcard. We have words like "destination", which means the place where someone is going. For example, our destination for this summer trip is Beijing. "Rent", as in "rent a car", means to pay money to use something for a period of time. Can anyone give me another example using "rent"? Student 2: I rent a bike every weekend to go around the park. Teacher: Excellent! "Pack" means to put things into a bag or suitcase when you are preparing for a trip. Like Melin packed good walking shoes. And "admire" means to look at someone or something with pleasure and respect. We admire the beautiful architecture. "Detail" refers to a small individual part or feature of something. The details on the buildings make them unique. "Credit card" is a plastic card that you can use to buy things and pay for them later. And "amazing" is an adjective to describe something extremely good or surprising. The sights in Europe are amazing. Now, let's do a quick vocabulary check. I will give you some sentences, and you need to fill in the blanks with the correct words we just reviewed. (The teacher shows some sentences on the screen.) 1. After a long journey, we finally reached our _______. 0. We decided to _______ a house by the beach for our vacation. 0. She carefully _______ her clothes into the suitcase. 0. Everyone stopped to _______ the beautiful sunset. 0. The _______ on the ancient vase were very delicate. 0. He used his _______ to pay for the expensive dinner. 0. The view from the top of the mountain was _______. Teacher: Let's go through the answers. The first one is "destination". The second is "rent". Third, "packed". Fourth, "admire". Fifth, "details". Sixth, "credit card". And the last one is "amazing". Well done if you got them all right. Teacher: Now, let's move on to grammar. In this unit, we learned how to use the present continuous tense to talk about future plans. For example, in the conversation we listened to earlier, Melin said, "I am travelling around Europe." This shows that she has already made the plan to travel around Europe in the future. Can you find other examples of using the present continuous tense to express future plans in the conversation or the postcard? Student 3: Paul said, "We're going to Yulong Snow Mountain tomorrow." Teacher: Correct! This is a very clear example. The present continuous tense in this case is used to talk about a pre - arranged future plan. We use "be (am, is, are) + verb - ing" structure. Now, I will give you some situations, and you need to make sentences using the present continuous tense to show future plans. Situation 1: You are planning a trip to the zoo this weekend. Student 4: I am going to the zoo this weekend. Teacher: Great! Situation 2: Your family is planning a picnic in the park next Sunday. Student 5: My family is having a picnic in the park next Sunday. Teacher: Perfect. Situation 3: You are going to visit your grandparents during the winter vacation. Student 6: I am visiting my grandparents during the winter vacation. Teacher: Well done, everyone. Using the present continuous tense to talk about future plans makes our communication more vivid and shows that the plan is already in progress or has been arranged. Teacher: Now, let's look at another aspect of this unit - travel reasons. We read some posts on page 33. Let's recall what each student's reason is for travelling. Anthony from France wants to go hiking in China over the summer holiday because he loves nature and really wants to see the beautiful sights there. What about other students? Can you remember? Student 7: Another student might want to travel to learn about different cultures. Teacher: Absolutely. Traveling can be for various reasons, such as experiencing new cultures, trying different foods, or simply relaxing. Now, let's do a group activity. I will divide you into groups of four. Each group needs to choose one person and design a tour he/she might like. You can consider the person's interests, the destination, the activities, and the accommodation. Then, create a travel brochure for this tour. (The teacher divides the students into groups and gives them some time to work on their travel brochures.) Teacher: Alright, time's up. Let's start with Group 1. Please present your travel brochure. Group 1 Representative: Our chosen person is a history - lover. So we designed a tour to Xi'an. On the first day, we will visit the Terracotta Army. This is a world - famous historical site with thousands of life - sized clay soldiers. In the afternoon, we will go to the Shaanxi History Museum to learn more about the history and culture of this area. For accommodation, we choose a hotel near the city center, which is convenient for going to different attractions. On the second day, we plan to visit the ancient City Wall of Xi'an. The visitor can rent a bike and cycle around the wall, enjoying the view of the city. And in the evening, we will go to the Muslim Quarter to taste all kinds of local delicious food. Teacher: That's a very detailed and well - planned tour. The combination of historical sites and local food is great. What about Group 2? Group 2 Representative: We chose a person who loves the beach. So our tour destination is Sanya. On the first day, we will check in at a beachfront resort. Then, the visitor can enjoy the beautiful beach, swim in the clear sea, and sunbathe. In the afternoon, we will arrange a snorkeling activity to explore the colorful underwater world. On the second day, we will visit the Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone, which has many beautiful temples and a huge Guanyin statue. And in the evening, we can have a seafood dinner by the beach. Teacher: Wonderful! You really considered the person's love for the beach and added some cultural elements as well. Now, let's think about what information is usually included in a travel brochure. Student 8: The destination, activities, accommodation, and maybe some pictures. Teacher: Exactly. Usually, a travel brochure will have the destination, which is the place where the tour is taking place. Activities, like what the tourists can do there. Accommodation, where they will stay. It may also include information about transportation, prices, and some beautiful pictures to attract people. Teacher: Before we end this class, let's do a quick summary. Today, we reviewed the vocabulary related to travelling, such as "destination", "rent", "pack", etc. We also practiced using the present continuous tense to talk about future plans. We discussed the reasons for travelling and designed travel brochures. I hope you all have a better understanding of this unit. For your homework, I want you to write a short paragraph about your own travel plan using the present continuous tense. Include the destination, the activities you plan to do, and how you will get there. You can also draw a simple picture to go with your paragraph. That's all for today. Class dismissed!
