In this lesson, students develop their conversational skills by talking about travel experiences. The lesson starts with a speaking task about general preferences for traveling. The students then look at two stories and make predictions about the events and identify positive and negative factors that can influence a travel experience. The students then play a word game to identify and categorize a set of adjectives and complete a follow-up practice task. They then listen to two people describing a recent travel experience and complete gist and detailed questions. The students finish the lesson by consolidating and personalizing the language in a student-centered interview about a previous trip (by Victoria Aitken).

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT
Tom: Last year I went to Australia. I only had three weeks, so I crammed a lot into a short time, but it was fantastic. I mostly stayed in hostels. They were ok but pricey. To save money I traveled from place to place by bus. They were cheap, reliable, and safe. The people were welcoming and kind. The sights were incredible, I took hundreds of photos. The weather was great, it wasn’t too hot but sunny enough to wear shorts and T-shirts.
Susan: I had a terrible time when I went to Italy last year. It started off well. I arrived in Rome and went straight to my hotel, and it was great. On the first day, I walked around taking in the sights and trying out the local cuisine. I ate so much food. I couldn’t help it; it tasted so good. But then the next morning I felt terrible. I couldn’t stop throwing up and slept day and night. It lasted for the whole trip. I didn’t get to see any more sights or do any activities. I only saw the inside of my hotel room. Fortunately, the hotel staff were wonderful and looked after me.
