Step VII Grammar Focus
Presentate the conversation below by saying to the students and writing it on the blackboard:
Where would you like to visit?
I’d like to go somewhere relaxing.
Draw a line under the word relaxing.
Then ask the children the same questions and tell them to answer in their own words. For example,
I’d like to go somewhere interesting.
I’d like to go somewhere exotic.
After asking several children to give answers with different adjectives, get them to practice in pairs. Each pair makes two conversations.
Next ask several pairs to share their conversations with the class.
Then say, the adjectives usually come before the nouns, such as, an educational vacation, a tiring trip. But in the sentences which are using the word something or somewhere, the adjective should be put after the pronouns. For example:
I’d like to go somewhere fascinating.
I’d love to eat something delicious.
After that, presentate another pair of sentences. Say to the students and write down on the blackboard:
Where would you like to visit?
I hope to go to France some day.
Explain sentences with some day in English orally, like this,
I hope to go to France some day. This sentence means I hope to go to France some day, but I’m not sure I will. Maybe
I will go there in the future and maybe I won’t. The sentences with some day are often used to express that.
Then have the children make up more sentences.

Subject: Vacation From: Ace Travel
Dear S.T. Zhang,
We are very glad to receive your letter.
Thank you for choosing our agency.
I think Qingdao is the best place for you and your family to go on vacation based on your e-mail.
Qingdao is a very beautiful city with lots of nice scenery. It’s on the east coast of China. The waves of the sea are really wonderful. It’s really an exciting place to visit. And you can also do a lot of exercise there, such as hiking along the coast
on the beach, swimming in the great ocean.
It will become a more attractive place in summer.
We can help you book an inexpensive room with three beds. Many local people there run that kind of hotels with their own houses. The rooms are very clean and nice and you can cook your meals in the kitchens if you like.
I suggest you’d better travel by plane.
You can save much time in that way.
How do you think of travelling to Qingdao?
Please tell us.
Best wishes to you and your family.

This activity provides reading and writing practice using the target language.
Read the instructions to the class. Get them to look at the pictures.
Say, Can you say out the English names of the four famous places in the pictures?
Ask some students who know that to tell the names. Write the four names on the blackboard: the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Sydney Opera House, Big Ben in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Then teach them to read the names several times till they can read them fluently and correctly.
Practice reading the names by showing some pictures of the four places to students. Get them to say out the English names of the places as soon as they see each picture. Change the pictures more and more quickly and students do as fast as they can.
After practicing the names, ask, Which these places would you like to visit most? Why? Ask two or three students to tell their answers to the class. They may say like this,
I’d like to visit Paris most. Because I cam see the famous tower, the Eiffel Tower. there. And I have ever heard the people there are very romantic. I’m interested in that.
Then say, Please say something on the place where you
would like to visit most to your partner now. Get them to work in pairs. Move around the room as they work, offering words and sentences as needed.
After they’ve all finished, tell them to write an article about where they would like to visit most and why. Ask students to complete the work on their own. Move around the classroom and help them.
After they’ve finished writing, ask a few students to read their articles to the class. Encourage the rest of the class to tell the mistakes they may have made in their passages.
Work in pairs. Each one reads their own passage to the partner. Help correct any mistakes in the passage.
Sample writing
I’d like to go to a beautiful place. I think it would be Paris. If I went there I could visit the Eiffel Tower. It is famous all over the world. I like the Eiffel Tower very much. I have collected lots of pictures of it. Some of them are on the walls of my small room. It is my dream to go to visit the Eiffel Tower and take photos there by myself. That’s the main reason for me to like to visit Paris most.
I also like to see the other scenes in Paris. I have heard that the streets there are very beautiful. And there are many famous buildings in Paris. I would like to visit the museums there, too. I hope my dream can come true some day.

S1: I think anyone in the world has dreams or hopes.Teenagers in China more or less have the same dreams as foreign Ss. Some dreams are realistic, so they can come true. But still there are
