Unit 9 Going on Vacation Step One Warming-up questions(15minutes) (The teacher first brings Ss’ attention to the useful expressions which could be helpful in their answering the following questions.)

How true do you think this statement is? Can you imagine a life limited to one place only? What significant role can traveling play in a person’s life? Useful expressions: Traveling helps us to broaden our minds / increase our knowledge / identify ourselves with nature. Traveling enables us to see new places / meet new people / learn about new cultures. I travel for travel’s sake. The important thing is to go, not to go anywhere in particular. Useful expressions(continued) Thanks to modern means of transportation, it is possible to travel across the country / to remote areas / abroad. Among the places I have been to, … impresses me most / is most unforgettable / leaves the deepest impression on my mind. I like visiting small villages / hiking in the mountains / going to seaside resorts. Useful expressions(continued) I am against traveling. It’s a waste of time and money, and it’s too much hassle.
