Monday 

Today we will begin by clarifying any doubts relating to the homework. Our main focus will be speaking and listening. To start, students will work in pairs to complete the speaking part 2 exam tasks on page 35 and 37. We will then complete the listening part 3 activity on page 36. 

As this is all about the benefits of travel and holidays, we will complete the following part 3 speaking task.

  • What types of tourism are popular in your country?
  • Are tourists usually respectful towards locals in your experience?
  • What are the greatest benefits of tourism for the area receiving the tourists?
  • Some people are strongly against mass tourism. Why is that?
  • How can tourism be harmful to the environment?
