Hi guys, this week we will continue with the topic of travel. Here’s what we are going to do.
First, you are going to read about three different people who have something in common: they all travelled around the world. Each person will be given a different text, so you will have to tell the others about what you had read.
Have you ever read about a travel blog? How about a vlog? Do you know what it is? We will look at a couple of YouTube vloggers called Allie and Trent who travel around the world in a camper van.
We are going to watch a short interview with Allie and Trent and answer some comprehension questions from the worksheet.
Homework project
Imagine you’re successful vloggers, taking a trip! You’re going to give a similar interview to the one you watched. Discuss and plan your interview in groups of three. Use your imagination and creativity!
Choose an imaginary journey that you’re taking (e.g. a cycling trip, a walking holiday, a cruise by ship, or a hiking/climbing/camping trail).
1. Think about:
− who you’re travelling with
− where you’re heading and why
− the kind of transport you’re using
− the kinds of vlogs that you post on YouTube each week for your subscribers and viewers.
2. Invent your own answers to these questions:
So how does it feel to be an internet sensation?
What’s the secret of your success?
How do you manage to get such a following?
You then set off on your trip and – what was the goal?
Where were you heading for?
I gather you’ve been filming one day and then editing the next. Is that how it works?
What kind of equipment did you buy?
And have you had any adventures with your equipment along the way?
What are some of the really nice things that have happened to you on your journey?
3. Create a video answering these questions and send it to freewayteachers@gmail.com.
