explain to the students that they are going to make a vacation photo album and talk about it with their classmates. you may want to provide students with magazines which they can cut up for their photo albums, or askthem to draw the photos or have them make their photo albums at home for homework.
once students have completed their photo albums, draw students' attention to the vacation pictures in the student book. tell them that they are pictures from your last vacation. using the simple past tense, point to each picture and describe a few things about your time in each place. write wh- questions on the board (where,
what, who, why, when, how). remind students that the photos in the book in activity 4 are photos from your vacation. encourage the class to ask you wh- questions about your vacation.
have students interview their classmates about their vacation photo albums.
when students have interviewed several classmates,have them discuss in pairs where in china they think would be the best place for a vacation. it could be somewhere one of them has been to, or just somewhere they have heard of and would like to visit.
