TRAVEL AGENCY:

A TRIP TO AN ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY

INTRODUCTION

Why is English (one of) the most important language(s) in the world? Maybe because it is “easy”, maybe because the films, maybe because it’s the language for computers, … The reason? I’m not really sure, but one point is clear: it is very useful for travelling all around the world.

TASKS

Work in groups of three people. You are going to visit different websites to find information about the places to visit, things to do and see. Then design a country guide (powerpoint, prezi… presentation or a brochure)

 

 

• Visit different websites and look for information about that country.
• Choose what to include in your country guide. Then make a presentation with:

* Name of the country.

* Map.

* Flag/flags and national symbols.

* Places to visit (monuments, museums, famous buildings, natural areas…)

           * Things you have to do (activities)

           * Interesting/strange information (Transport, animals, sports, festivities…)
