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.
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.
