you what the first "bad thing" was (i.e. kirn's kite breaking).

have students do the activity individually. you maywant to have them write on pieces of paper, since space in the textbook is limited. as they work, move around the classroom offering assistance as necessary.
have several students read out their diaries to the class. (you might want to make this activity more substantial, and set it as written homework to be collected and marked.)
4.   this activity gives students listening and speaking practice using the target language.
say, now you can talk about an imaginary vacation.pretend you are a foreigner who came to china on vacation. think about what nationality you are and the places in china you visited.
ask students to get into groups of four. tell them to pretend that they are foreigners who meet at the airport after their vacation in china. one student in each group begins by telling where he or she went.the other students ask questions. then they switch roles, so each student has a chance to tell the others about his or her vacation.
as students talk, move around the room, offering vocabulary and pronunciation support as needed.
