This lesson focuses on asking questions using the Past Simple, Past Continuous and Past Perfect. It is intended for students who have already studied those tenses and want to improve their accuracy. Exercises focus on using the correct tense, question structure, information gap activity and ordering questions. Students will be given plenty of opportunities for discussion. There is an additional and optional grammar focus meaning the lesson could take over an hour if all exercises are attempted (by Joe Wilson).

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Narrator: My first business trip was to Seoul in Korea. I felt really excited because I had heard so many great things about Korea. When I was growing up, I loved watching Korean films and listening to their music. When I arrived at the airport, it was 8 pm at night and it was nearly 10 pm when we got to the hotel. I hadn’t eaten anything on the plane because I don’t really like plane food.
So, when I had unpacked my bags, I was really hungry. The hotel wasn’t serving food anymore because it was too late, so I went out to see if I could find somewhere open to eat. There was a Korean restaurant open and I was able to see lots of people in there sitting around small tables and eating.
I really wanted to go in but I felt very nervous because I didn’t know how to speak or read any Korean. In the end, I found a small shop which sold cheese sandwiches. I was so embarrassed because my first meal in Korea was a cheese sandwich. Later, on the trip though, I went to a couple of proper Korean restaurants. The food was delicious. So much better than a cheese sandwich.
