EXTRA ACTIVITY  

Students choose one of the places and find out 

more about it, preparing a short five-minute talk to 

promote interest in their destination. Students then 

form mixed groups (in terms of destination) and 

take turns to talk about the place they chose and 

say why the others should visit it. Students vote for 

the most interesting-sounding destination.
